The LORD’s word about the wise men of Edom and the mountain of Esau
에돔의 지혜 있는 자와 에서의 산을 두고 이르신 여호와의 말씀
Obadiah 1:5–9: the text says, “If thieves came to you, if robbers by night—oh, what disaster awaits you—wouldn’t they only steal until they had enough? If grape pickers came to you, wouldn’t they leave some gleaning grapes? How Esau will be ransacked! How his hidden treasures are sought out! All the men of your alliance have brought you on your way, even to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you. Friends who eat your bread lay a snare under you. There is no understanding in him.” “Won’t I in that day”, says the LORD, “destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau? Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.” WEB closes a quotation at the end of 1:7 and opens another at 1:8, which it does not close in 1:9. The Korean Revised Version ends 1:5 with 네가 어찌 그리 망하였는고, where WEB sets “oh, what disaster awaits you” inside the verse; gives 1:6 in the past (에서가 어찌 그리 수탐되었으며 … 수탐되었는고), where WEB reads “How Esau will be ransacked!”; reads 네 마음에 지각이 없음이로다 at 1:7, in the second person, where WEB reads “There is no understanding in him”; and spells 드만 at 1:9, where WEB reads “Teman”.
