Obadiah 1

⁶ But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!

⁷ All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.

⁸ In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?

⁹ Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.

¹⁰ Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
