Obadiah 1:8 in Context — Obadiah 1

6 ¡Cómo fueron escudriñadas [las cosas de] Esaú! sus cosas escondidas fueron buscadas.

7 Hasta el término te hicieron llegar todos tus aliados; te han engañado tus pacíficos, prevalecieron contra ti; [los que comían] tu pan, pusieron el lazo debajo de ti: no hay en él entendimiento.

8 ¿No haré que perezcan en aquel día, dice Jehová, los sabios de Edom, y la prudencia del monte de Esaú?

9 Y tus valientes, oh Temán, serán quebrantados; porque todo hombre será talado del monte de Esaú por el estrago.

10 Por la injuria de tu hermano Jacob te cubrirá vergüenza, y serás talado para siempre.
