Obadiah 1:5-9

5If1 thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?2 6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought! 7All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border:3 the men that were at peace with thee4 have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a trap under thee: there is no understanding in him.5 86Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 9And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
