Obadiah 1:5-9
5“If thieves came to rob you during the night, they would steal only as much as they wanted! If grape pickers came to harvest your vineyards, they would leave some behind for the poor! But you will be totally destroyed!
6How the people of Esau will be thoroughly plundered! Their hidden valuables will be ransacked!
7All your allies will force you from your homeland! Your treaty partners will deceive you and overpower you. Your trusted friends will set an ambush for you that will take you by surprise!
8At that time,” the Lord says, “I will destroy the wise sages of Edom! the advisers from Esau’s mountain!
9Your warriors will be shattered, O Teman, so that everyone will be destroyed from Esau’s mountain!
