⁷ Remember, O Lord, against ^(A)the sons of Edom
The day of Jerusalem,
Who said, ^[a]“Raze it, raze it,
To its very foundation!”

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his ^(B)brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.

¹² “But you should not have ^(E)gazed^[a] on the day of your brother
^[b]In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have ^(F)rejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
¹³ You should not have entered the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have ^[c]gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
¹⁴ You should not have stood at the crossroads
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have ^[d]delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.

¹⁵ “For^(G) the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
^(H)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your ^[e]reprisal shall return upon your own head.
^16 (I)For as you drank on My holy mountain,
So shall all the nations drink continually;
Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,
And they shall be as though they had never been.
