New Testament

Obadiah 1:7-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

7. All your allies have driven you to your border;those at peace with you have deceived you;they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you— you have no understanding.

8. Will I not on that day, declares the Lord,destroy the wise men out of Edom,and understanding out of Mount Esau?

9. And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman,so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.

10. Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.

11. On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealthand foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem,you were like one of them.
