Obadiah 5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]Came thieves to thee or robbers by night? how wast thou brought to silence? would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6 How are the things of Esau sought up, and his treasures searched?
7 All the men of thy confederacy [b]have driven thee to the borders: the men that were at peace with thee, have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee: they that eat thy [c]bread, have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
