Obadiah 1:8 in Context — Obadiah 1
6 Ah! Comme Ésaü est fouillé! Comme ses trésors sont découverts!
7 Tous tes alliés t’ont chassé jusqu’à la frontière, Tes amis t’ont joué, t’ont dominé, Ceux qui mangeaient ton pain t’ont dressé des pièges, Et tu n’as pas su t’en apercevoir!
8 N’est-ce pas en ce jour, dit l’Éternel, Que je ferai disparaître d’Édom les sages, Et de la montagne d’Ésaü l’intelligence?
9 Tes guerriers, ô Théman, seront dans l’épouvante, Car tous ceux de la montagne d’Ésaü périront dans le carnage.
10 A cause de ta violence contre ton frère Jacob, Tu seras couvert de honte, Et tu seras exterminé pour toujours.
