Obadiah 5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

‘Men might come in the night
to take away what is yours.
(Oh! What a very bad thing will happen to you!)
But they would not take everything.
If people came to take fruit from your trees,
they would leave some fruit on the tree.
⁶ But people will take everything from Esau's people (also called Edom).
They will even take the valuable things that you hide.
⁷ People who have helped you to fight
will push you out from your country.
They will tell you what is not true. You will believe them.
They will be stronger than you
because you will believe their words.
They will make a trap for you.’
