Obadiah 5-9

New International Reader's Version

⁵ “Edom, suppose robbers came to you at night.
    They would steal only as much as they wanted.
Suppose grape pickers came to harvest your vines.
    They would still leave a few grapes.
    But you are facing horrible trouble!
⁶ People of Esau, everything will be taken away from you.
    Your hidden treasures will be stolen.
⁷ All those who are helping you
    will force you to leave your country.
    Your friends will trick you and overpower you.
Those who eat bread with you
    will set a trap for you.
    But you will not see it.”
