New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Amos 9
14 "Also I will restore the captivity of My people Israel, And they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them; They will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, And make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 "I will also plant them on their land, And they will not again be rooted out from their land Which I have given them," Says the Lord your God.
Obadiah 1
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom- We have heard a report from the Lord, And an envoy has been sent among the nations saying, "Arise and let us go against her for battle"-
2 "Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You are greatly despised.
3 "The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, You who live in the clefts of the rock, In the loftiness of your dwelling place, Who say in your heart, ’Who will bring me down to earth?’
4 "Though you build high like the eagle, Though you set your nest among the stars, From there I will bring you down," declares the Lord.
5 "If thieves came to you, If robbers by night- O how you will be ruined!- Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape gatherers came to you, Would they not leave some gleanings?
6 "O how Esau will be ransacked, And his hidden treasures searched out!
7 "All the men allied with you Will send you forth to the border, And the men at peace with you Will deceive you and overpower you. They who eat your bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is no understanding in him.)
8 "Will I not on that day," declares the Lord, "Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9 "Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
