+
+THE PROPHECY OF ABDIAS
+
+ABDIAS, whose name is interpreted THE SERVANT OF THE LORD, is believed
+to have prophesied about the same time as OSEE, JOEL, and AMOS: though
+some of the Hebrews, who believe him to be the same with ACHAB's
+steward, make him much more ancient. His prophecy is the shortest of any
+in number of words, but yields to none, says ST. JEROME, in the
+sublimity of mysteries. It contains but one chapter.
+
+
+Abdias Chapter 1
+
+The destruction of Edom for their pride: and the wrongs they did to
+Jacob: the salvation and victory of Israel.
+
+1:1. The vision of Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have
+heard a rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the
+nations: Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him.
+
+1:2. Behold I have made thee small among the nations: thou art exceeding
+contemptible.
+
+1:3. The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, who dwellest in the
+clefts of the rocks, and settest up thy throne on high: who sayest in
+thy heart: Who shall bring me down to the ground?
+
+1:4. Though thou be exalted as an eagle, and though thou set thy nest
+among the stars: thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord.
+
+1:5. If thieves had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst
+thou have held thy peace? would they not have stolen till they had
+enough? if the grapegatherers had come in to thee, would they not have
+left thee at the least a cluster?
+
+1:6. How have they searched Esau, how have they sought out his hidden
+things?
+
+1:7. They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of thy
+confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed
+against thee: they that eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there
+is no wisdom in him.
+
+1:8. Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise out of
+Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
+
+1:9. And thy valiant men of the south shall be afraid, that man may be
+cut off from the mount of Esau.
+
+1:10. For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob,
+confusion shall cover thee, and thou shalt perish for ever.
+
+1:11. In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried
+away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast
+lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast as one of them.
+
+1:12. But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day
+of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children
+of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy
+mouth in the day of distress.
+
+Thou shalt not look, etc... or, thou shouldst not, etc. It is a
+reprehension for what they had done, and at the same time a declaration
+that these things should not pass unpunished.-Ibid. Thou shalt not
+magnify thy mouth... That is, thou shalt not speak arrogantly against
+the children of Juda as insulting them in their distress.
+
+1:13. Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of
+their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of
+his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day
+of his desolation.
+
+1:14. Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to kill them that flee:
+and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of him in the day of
+tribulation.
+
+1:15. For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast
+done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own
+head.
+
+1:16. For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so all nations shall
+drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be
+as though they were not.
+
+1:17. And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and
+the house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them.
+
+1:18. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a
+flame, and the house of Esau stubble: and they shall be kindled in them,
+and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains of the house of
+Esau, for the Lord hath spoken it.
+
+1:19. And they that are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of
+Esau, and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall
+possess the country of Ephraim, and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin
+shall possess Galaad.
+
+1:20. And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, all the
+places of the Chanaanites even to Sarepta: and the captivity of
+Jerusalem that is in Bosphorus, shall possess the cities of the south.
+
+1:21. And saviours shall come up into mount Sion to judge the mount of
+Esau: and the kingdom shall be for the Lord.

+
+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:
+https://gutenberg.org or
+http://promo.net/pg
+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project
+Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new
+eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!).
+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the
+indexes our cataloguers produce obviously take a while after an
+announcement goes out in the Project Gutenberg Newsletter.

+Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)
+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
