כִּֽי־קָר֥וֹב יוֹם־יְהוָ֖ה עַל־כָּל־הַגּוֹיִ֑ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֤ר עָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ יֵעָ֣שֶׂה לָּ֔ךְ גְּמֻלְךָ֖ יָשׁ֥וּב בְּרֹאשֶֽׁךָ׃
Sapagkat malapit na ang araw ng Walang-Hanggan laban sa lahat ng mga bansa; kung ano ang ginawa mo ay siyang gagawin sa iyo; ang iyong ganti ay babalik sa iyong sariling ulo.

“For the day of the Lord is near against all the nations” [1:15]. The prophet said: the redemption will come soon to Israel and all the gentiles will soon get their just rewards, that they have caused troubles to Israel. Even though it has been a long time and the redemption has not yet come, how does he say that the redemption will come soon? The answer is that the Holy One promised that it would certainly happen. Even if he delays for a long time, in any event the redemption will certainly come. This is as if it has already happened. Therefore he says, the redemption will come soon.7Radak, Obadiah, 1:15.

“As you did, so shall it be done to you; your conduct will be requited” [1:15]. What you Edom did, so will it happen to you, your recompense will come down on your head.
