Obadiah 6-8
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
6 How Esau has been pillaged,
his treasures sought out!
7 All your allies have deceived you,
they have driven you to the border;
your confederates have prevailed against you;
your trusted friends have set a trap under you—
there is no understanding of it.
8 Will I not on that day, says the Lord,
destroy the wise men out of Edom,
and understanding out of Mount Esau?
Obadiah 6-8
New International Version
6 But how Esau will be ransacked,
his hidden treasures pillaged!
7 All your allies(A) will force you to the border;
your friends will deceive and overpower you;
those who eat your bread(B) will set a trap for you,[a]
but you will not detect it.
8 “In that day,” declares the Lord,
“will I not destroy(C) the wise men of Edom,
those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
