“All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.”
The description of all your allies being deceived and driven out to the border and your confederates overcoming you indicates the betrayal by neighboring nations and the isolation of Edom. The military defeat by those Edom relied on emphasizes the failure of all hope and alliance.
