Bible verse
But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
Obadiah 1:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from Obadiah 1.
2 “Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you will be deeply despised.
3 The pride of your heart has deceived you, O dwellers in the clefts of the rocks whose habitation is the heights, who say in your heart, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
4 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, even from there I will bring you down,” declares the LORD.
5 “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, how you will be ruined—would they not steal only what they wanted? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleanings?
6 But how Esau will be pillaged, his hidden treasures sought out!
7 All the men allied with you will drive you to the border; the men at peace with you will deceive and overpower you. Those who eat your bread will set a trap for you without your awareness of it.
8 In that day, declares the LORD, will I not destroy the wise men of Edom and the men of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be terrified, so that everyone in the mountains of Esau will be cut down in the slaughter.
10 Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and cut off forever.
