Obadias 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

Obadiah 1:6

How are [the things] of Esau searched out!
&c.] Or how are the Esauites, the posterity of Esau, sought out! though they dwelt in the clefts of the rocks, and hid themselves in caves and dens, yet their enemies searched them, and found there, and plucked them out from thence, so that none escaped: [how] are his hid things sought up!
his riches, wealth and treasure, hid in fortresses, in rocks and caves, where they were thought to be safe, and judged inaccessible; or that an enemy would not have ventured in search of them there; and yet these should be sought after and found by the greedy, and diligent, and venturous soldier, and carried off; which was the case of the Edomites by the Chaldeans, and will be of the antichristian states by the kings of the earth, ( Revelation 17:16 ) ; see ( Jeremiah 49:10 ) .

Obadias 1:6 In-Context

4 Ainda que vocĂȘ suba tĂŁo alto como a ĂĄguiae faça o seu ninho entre as estrelas,dali eu o derrubarei”,declara o SENHOR.
5 “Se ladrĂ”es o atacassem,saqueadores no meio da noite—como vocĂȘ estĂĄ destruĂ­do!—nĂŁo roubariam apenas quanto achassem suficiente?Se os que colhem uvas chegassem a vocĂȘ,nĂŁo deixariam para trĂĄs pelo menos alguns cachos?
6 Entretanto, como EsaĂș foi saqueado!Como foram pilhados os seus tesouros ocultos!
7 Empurram vocĂȘ para as fronteiras todos os seus aliados;enganam vocĂȘ e o sobrepujarĂŁo os seus melhores amigos;aqueles que comem com vocĂȘ para vocĂȘ armam ciladas”.E EsaĂș nĂŁo percebe nada!
8 “Naquele dia”, declara o SENHOR,“destruirei os sĂĄbios de Edom,e os mestres dos montes de EsaĂș.
