Obadiah 5-7

English Standard Version

⁵ If ^(A)thieves came to you,
    if plunderers came by night—
    how you have been destroyed!—
    would they not steal only enough for themselves?
If ^(B)grape gatherers came to you,
    would they not leave gleanings?
^6 (C)How Esau has been pillaged,
    his treasures sought out!
⁷ All your allies have driven you to your border;
    those at peace with you have deceived you;
they have prevailed against you;
    ^(D)those who eat your bread^[a] have set a trap beneath you—
    ^(E)you have^[b] no understanding.
