Obadiah 5-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁵ If thieves came to you, if robbers came by night—oh, what disaster awaits you!—wouldn’t they steal only until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn’t they leave some grapes for gleaning? ⁶ Oh, how completely Esau will be ransacked! His hidden treasures will be searched out and looted!

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]
