Obadiah 7-9

The Voice

⁷Your supposed allies—every last one—will turn against you;
    they will run you out of your own town.
And those who promised you peace
    will lie to your face and conquer you.
Even those who shared your bread will ambush you.
    You won’t understand what is happening until it is too late.

⁸Eternal One: When this day comes,
        won’t I destroy the wisest citizens of Edom,
    Make all insight vanish from Mount Esau,
        and leave all helpless?
⁹    As for your warriors, great Edomite city of Teman,
        they will be routed, shattered.
    Their slaughtered bodies will cut off everyone’s path to Mount Esau
