Obadiah 1:6

New American Bible - revised edition

How Esau has been searched out, his treasures hunted down!

See the chapter Copy

For the leader. A psalm of David. Lord, you have probed me, you know me:

Their infants shall be dashed to pieces in their sight; their houses shall be plundered and their wives ravished.

I will give you treasures of darkness, riches hidden away, That you may know I am the Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by name.

So I myself will strip Esau; I will uncover his lairs so he cannot hide. Offspring and family are destroyed, neighbors, too; he is no more.

A sword upon their motley throng, and they become women! A sword upon their treasures, and they are plundered;

He reveals deep and hidden things and knows what is in the darkness, for the light dwells with him.
