Obadiah 5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ If thieves came to you,
    if plunderers by night
    —how you have been destroyed!—
    would they not steal only what they wanted?
If grape-gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave gleanings?
⁶ How Esau has been pillaged,
    his treasures searched out!
⁷ All your allies have deceived you,
    they have driven you to the border;
your confederates have prevailed against you;
    those who ate^[a] your bread have set a trap for you—
    there is no understanding of it.
