Obadiah 7-9
Evangelical Heritage Version

7 All your allies will push you back to your border.

Those who were at peace with you will deceive you and overpower you.

Those who eat bread with you will lay a trap for you.

There is no understanding left in Edom.[a]

8 Will I not destroy the wise men of Edom on that day, declares the Lord? Will I not take away from the mountain of Esau those who have understanding? 9 Your strong warrior, Teman,[b] will be shattered by terror, so that everyone from the mountain of Esau will be cut down by the massacre.
