Obadiah 1:3-9

3The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks Or of Sela and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’

4Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD .

5“If thieves came to you, if robbers in the night— oh, what a disaster awaits you!— would they not steal only as much as they wanted? If grape pickers came to you, would they not leave a few grapes?

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

7All your allies will force you to the border; your friends will deceive and overpower you; those who eat your bread will set a trap for you, The meaning of the Hebrew for this clause is uncertain. but you will not detect it.

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

9Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified, and everyone in Esau’s mountains will be cut down in the slaughter.
