Edom's Violence Against Jacob

10 (A)Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
    shame shall cover you,
    (B)and you shall be cut off forever.

and foreigners entered his gates
    (E)and cast lots for Jerusalem,

    in the day of his misfortune;
(G)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
    in the day of their ruin;
(H)do not boast[a]
    in the day of distress.
13 (I)Do not enter the gate of my people
    in the day of their calamity;
(J)do not gloat over his disaster
    in the day of his calamity;
(K)do not loot his wealth
    in the day of his calamity.

    to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
    in the day of distress.

15 For (M)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
(N)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
    your deeds shall return on your own head.
16 (O)For as you have drunk on (P)my holy mountain,
    so all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and swallow,
    and shall be as though they had never been.
