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.

“In that day,” declares the Lord,
    “will I not destroy(C) the wise men of Edom,
    those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
Your warriors, Teman,(D) will be terrified,
    and everyone in Esau’s mountains
    will be cut down in the slaughter.
