Obadiah 7-9
New Living Translation

7 “All your allies will turn against you.
    They will help to chase you from your land.
They will promise you peace
    while plotting to deceive and destroy you.
Your trusted friends will set traps for you,
    and you won’t even know about it.
8 At that time not a single wise person
    will be left in the whole land of Edom,”
    says the Lord.
“For on the mountains of Edom
    I will destroy everyone who has understanding.
9 The mightiest warriors of Teman
    will be terrified,
and everyone on the mountains of Edom
    will be cut down in the slaughter.

    “will I not destroy(C) the wise men of Edom,
    those of understanding in the mountains of Esau?
9 Your warriors, Teman,(D) will be terrified,
    and everyone in Esau’s mountains
    will be cut down in the slaughter.
