Obadiah 1:5-9
5“If 1thieves came to you, If 2robbers by night-- O how you will be ruined!-- Would they not steal only 3until they had enough? If grape gatherers came to you, 4Would they not leave some gleanings?6O how Esau will be 5ransacked, And his hidden treasures searched out!7All the 6men 7allied 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 8bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is 9no understanding 10in him.)8Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord, “11Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?9Then your 12mighty men will be dismayed, O 13Teman, So that everyone may be 14cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
