Obadiah 1:8 Context
6How are the things of Esau searched out? how are his hid things sought vp? 7All the men of thy confederacie haue brought thee euen to the border: the men that were at peace with thee, haue deceiued thee, and preuailed against thee: they that eate thy bread haue laide a wound vnder thee: there is none vnderstanding in him. 8Shal I not in that day, saith the Lord, euen destroy the wise men out of Edom, and vnderstanding out of the mount of Esau? 9And thy mightie men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that euery one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 10¶ For thy violence against thy brother Iacob shame shall couer thee, and thou shalt be cut off for euer.
