Obadias 1:8 Meaning and Commentary

Obadiah 1:8

Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise
[men] out of Edom
When they shall be invaded by the enemy, and treacherously dealt with by their allies; so that there shall be no wise counsellors at court to give advice what proper methods should be taken at such a season; they should either be taken off by death, or their wisdom should be turned into folly, and they be rendered incapable of giving right counsel: and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
that is, men of understanding, as the Targum, should be destroyed out of Edom or Idumea, which was a mountainous country; such as were well versed in politics, or understood military affairs, and how to conduct at such a critical time; to form schemes, and concert measures, and wisely put them in execution; and to be deprived of all such must be a great loss at such a time, and add to their distress and calamity; see ( Jeremiah 49:7 ) .

Obadias 1:8 In-Context

6 Entretanto, como Esaú foi saqueado!Como foram pilhados os seus tesouros ocultos!

7 Empurram você para as fronteiras todos os seus aliados;enganam você e o sobrepujarão os seus melhores amigos;aqueles que comem com você para você armam ciladas”.E Esaú não percebe nada!

8 “Naquele dia”, declara o SENHOR,“destruirei os sábios de Edom,e os mestres dos montes de Esaú.

9 Então os seus guerreiros, ó Temã, ficarão apavoradose serão eliminados todos os homensdos montes de Esaú.

10 Por causa da violenta matança que você fez contra o seu irmão Jacó,você será coberto de vergonhae eliminado para sempre.
