Obadiah 10-12
GOD’S WORD Translation
Why Edom Will Be Destroyed
10 “Because of the violence you did to Jacob, your relative,
you will be covered with shame.
You will be destroyed forever.
11 While you stood there doing nothing,
strangers carried off Jacob’s wealth.
Foreigners entered his gates and threw dice for Jerusalem.
You acted like one of them.
12 Don’t gloat over your relative’s misfortune
or be happy when the people of Judah are destroyed.
Don’t brag so much when they’re in distress.
Obadiah 10-12
New International Version
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)
