Obadiah 7-9
Contemporary English Version

7 Your allies can't be trusted.
They will force you out
    of your own country.
And your best friends
will trick and trap you,
    even before you know it.

8 Edom, when this happens,
I, the Lord, will destroy
    all your marvelous wisdom.
9 Warriors from the city of Teman[a]
    will be terrified,
and you descendants of Esau[b]
    will be wiped out.
