11 On the day that you (A)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And (B)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(C)You too were as one of them.
12 (D)Do not [a]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (E)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
On the day of their destruction;
Yes, (F)do not [b]boast
On the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
On the (G)day of their disaster.
You indeed, do not [c]gloat over their catastrophe
On the day of their disaster.
And do not (H)lay a hand on their wealth
On the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (I)stand at the crossroads
To eliminate their survivors;
And do not hand over their refugees
On the day of their distress.
