New Testament

Obadiah 1:4-9 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. Even though you make your homeas high as an eagle's nest,so that it seems to be among the stars,yet I will pull you down.

5. “When thieves come at night,they take only what they want.When people gather grapes,they always leave a few.But your enemies have wiped you out completely.

6. Descendants of Esau, your treasures have been looted.

7. Your allies have deceived you;they have driven you from your country.People who were at peace with you have now conquered you.Those friends who ate with you have laid a trap for you;they say of you, ‘Where is all that cleverness he had?’

8. “On the day I punish Edom,I will destroy their clever menand wipe out all their wisdom.

9. The fighting men of Teman will be terrified,and every soldier in Edom will be killed.
