6. Every nook and cranny of Edomwill be searched and looted.Every treasure will be found and taken.
7. “All your allies will turn against you.They will help to chase you from your land.They will promise you peacewhile 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 personwill be left in the whole land of Edom,”says the lord.“For on the mountains of EdomI will destroy everyone who has understanding.
