Obadiah 1:5-9

5“If thieves or looters come to you during the night, won’t they steal only until they’ve had enough? You will be ruined! If people come to pick your grapes, won’t they leave a few grapes behind?

6But you, Esau, will lose everything. Even your hidden treasures will be looted.

7All your allies will force you to leave your land. The people who are at peace with you will deceive you. Those who eat food with you will set traps for you, and you won’t even know about it.

8“On that day I will destroy the wise people in Edom and take wisdom away from Esau’s mountain,” declares the Lord.

9“Teman, your warriors will be terrified. Everyone on Esau’s mountain will be slaughtered.
