Obadiah 10–14

10  fBecause of the violence done to your gbrother Jacob,

shame shall cover you,

and you shall be cut off forever.

11  hOn the day that you stood aloof,

ion the day that strangers carried off his wealth

and foreigners entered his gates

and jcast lots for Jerusalem,

you were like one of them.

12  But do not gloat over the day of your brother

in the day of his misfortune;

do not krejoice over the people of Judah

in the day of their ruin;

do not boast1

in the day of distress.

13  Do not enter the gate of my people

in the day of their calamity;

do not gloat over his disaster

in the day of his calamity;

do not loot his wealth

in the day of his calamity.

14  Do not stand at the crossroads

to cut off his fugitives;

do not hand over his survivors

in the day of distress.
