⁷ Remember, Lord, what the Edomites^(A) did
    on the day Jerusalem fell.^(B)
“Tear it down,” they cried,
    “tear it down to its foundations!”^(C)

“For three sins of Edom,^(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword^(B)
    and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
    and his fury flamed unchecked,^(C)

¹⁰ Because of the violence^(A) against your brother Jacob,^(B)
    you will be covered with shame;
    you will be destroyed forever.^(C)
11 On the day you stood aloof
    while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
    and cast lots^(D) for Jerusalem,
    you were like one of them.^(E)
12 You should not gloat^(F) over your brother
    in the day of his misfortune,^(G)
nor rejoice^(H) over the people of Judah
    in the day of their destruction,^(I)
nor boast^(J) so much
    in the day of their trouble.^(K)
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
    in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over them in their calamity^(L)
    in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
    in the day of their disaster.
¹⁴ You should not wait at the crossroads
    to cut down their fugitives,^(M)
nor hand over their survivors
    in the day of their trouble.

¹⁵ “The day of the Lord is near^(N)
    for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
    your deeds^(O) will return upon your own head.
¹⁶ Just as you drank^(P) on my holy hill,^(Q)
    so all the nations will drink^(R) continually;
they will drink and drink
    and be as if they had never been.^(S)
