Obadiah 5-9
New American Standard Bible

5 “If (A)thieves came to you,
If [a]robbers by night—
Oh how you will be ruined!—
Would they not steal only [b]until they had enough?
If grape-pickers came to you,
(B)Would they not leave some gleanings?
6 Oh how Esau will be (C)searched,
And his hidden treasures searched out!
7 All the (D)people [c]allied with you
Will send you to the border,
And the people at peace with you
Will deceive you and overpower you.
They who eat your (E)bread
Will set an ambush for you.
(There is (F)no understanding [d]in him.)
8 Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord,
“(G)Eliminate wise men from Edom,
And understanding from the mountain of Esau?
9 Then your (H)warriors will be filled with terror, (I)Teman,
So that everyone will be (J)eliminated from the mountain of Esau by murder.

Obadiah 5-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible

5 If thieves came to you,(A)
if marauders by night—
how ravaged you would be!—
wouldn’t they steal only what they wanted?
If grape pickers came to you,
wouldn’t they leave some grapes?(B)
6 How Esau will be pillaged,(C)
his hidden treasures searched out!(D)
7 Everyone who has a treaty with you(E)
will drive you to the border;
everyone at peace with you
will deceive and conquer you.
Those who eat your bread(F)
will set[a] a trap for you.
He will be unaware of it.(G)
8 In that day—
this is the Lord’s declaration—
will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom(H)
and those who understand
from the hill country of Esau?
9 Teman,[b](I) your warriors(J) will be terrified
so that everyone from the hill country of Esau
will be destroyed by slaughter.(K)
