George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Obadiah 1:12
Though shalt not look, &c., or thou shouldst not, &c. It is a reprehension for what they had done, and at the same time a declaration that these things should not pass unpunished. (Challoner) --- God admonishes, and at the same time insinuates that the Idumeans would act quite the reverse. (Worthington) --- Magnify. Literally, thou shalt not speak arrogantly against the children of Juda, as insulting them in their distress, (Challoner) like people mocking. When they shall be... read more
Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:1-16
1-16 This prophecy is against Edom. Its destruction seems to have been typical, as their father Esau's rejection; and to refer to the destruction of the enemies of the gospel church. See the prediction of the success of that war; Edom shall be spoiled, and brought down. All the enemies of God's church shall be disappointed in the things they stay themselves on. God can easily lay those low who magnify and exalt themselves; and will do it. Carnal security ripens men for ruin, and makes the ruin... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Obadiah 1:10-16
The Punishment a Consequence of Idumea's Hostility v. 10. For thy violence against thy brother Jacob, the two nations being so closely related through their common ancestor, but the Edomites having continued the family feud practically from the time of Esau, shame shall cover thee, so that Idumea would be disgraced before the eyes of the world, and thou shalt be cut off forever, in an extermination demanded by God's will and Law. v. 11. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side,... read more

THE PROPHECY1 Vision of Obadiah:Thus saith the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom;1We have heard tidings from Jehovah,We have heard tidings from Jehovah,And2 an ambassador is sent forth among the nations.3Arise ye,4 and let us arise against her to battle!2 Behold, I make thee small among the nations;Despised art thou exceedingly.3 The pride of thy heart hath deceived thee,Dweller in the refuges of the cliff,His lofty habitation;5Who saith in his heart:Who will bring me down to the earth?4 Though... read more
Peter Pett
Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:10-14
The Reason For The Invasion From YHWH’s Viewpoint, Because Of Edom’s Perfidy Towards Judah (Obadiah 1:10-14 ). And the reason why Edom would be treated in this way was because of its behaviour towards ‘your brother Jacob’. When they saw Judah under invasion and Jerusalem captured they had stood on one side and done nothing, not even offering succour to those who sought refuge. Indeed they had taken the opportunity to make slaves of them. Furthermore they had celebrated the destruction of... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Obadiah 1:1-15
Obadiah 1:1-Ezra : b. The Deserved Downfall of Edom.— The prophet declares that interpretation of current events which Yahweh has revealed to him. Other nations are combining against Edom ( Obadiah 1:1) and Yahweh will make their combination successful ( Obadiah 1:2; the perfect tenses are “ prophetic” ). Edom has been confident in the inaccessibility of his mountainous land ( Obadiah 1:3; see Intro. and read with VSS “ making high his habitation” ), but vainly does he build (his nest) on... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Obadiah 1:10
For thy violence: though Idumeans were guilty of many other and great sins, they are here charged with this as the great crying sin, inhuman cruelty and perfidiousness; they did mercilessly spoil and basely betray the Jews, which will be particularly mentioned in the following verses. Against thy brother: Edomites, the posterity of Esau, and the Jews, the posterity of Jacob, are here called brothers, for that the fathers of both people were brothers, twins; and this nearness of blood should... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Obadiah 1:11
In the day; during the war which the Babylonians made upon Judea, or in the day of battle when Jews fought with Chaldeans. That thou stoodest on the other side; tookest up thy stand over-right them, observing with delight how they were worsted, slaughtered. and routed; or didst set thyself in battle-array against thy brother Jacob. The strangers; the Babylonians. and the mixed nations which joined with them. Carried away captive; first mastered the Jews, and then made them captives. and sent... read more
