Obadiah 14-16

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁴You should not have stood at the parting of the ways
to cut off his fugitives;
you should not have delivered up his survivors
in the day of distress.

¹⁵For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
As you have done, it shall be done to you,
    your deeds shall return on your own head.
¹⁶For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain,
    all the nations round about shall drink;
they shall drink, and stagger,^[a]
    and shall be as though they had not been.
