Obadiah 10-14
Expanded Bible
10 You did violence to your ·relatives, the Israelites [L brother Jacob; verse 1; Gen. 25],
so you will be covered with shame
and destroyed forever.
11 You stood ·aside without helping [aloof]
·while [L on the day] strangers carried Israel’s ·treasures [wealth; or army] away.
When foreigners entered Israel’s city gate
and threw lots to decide ·what part of Jerusalem they would take [L for Jerusalem],
you were like one of them.
Commands That Edom Broke
12 “Edom, ·do not laugh at [or you should not have gloated over] your ·brother Israel [L brother] in his time of ·trouble [misfortune]
or ·be happy [rejoice] about the ·people [sons; descendants] of Judah ·when they are destroyed [L on the day of destruction].
Do not ·brag [boast; act with arrogance] ·when cruel things are done to them [L on the day of distress].
13 Do not enter the city gate of my people [C to plunder their goods]
in their ·time [L day] of ·trouble [disaster; C the Hebrew word for “trouble” sounds like Edom]
or ·laugh at their problems [gloat over them]
in their ·time [L day] of ·trouble [disaster].
Do not ·take their treasures [loot their wealth]
in their ·time [L day] of ·trouble [disaster].
14 Do not stand at the crossroads
to ·destroy [L cut off] ·those who are trying to escape [their fugitives].
Do not capture ·those who escape alive [their survivors] and turn them over to their enemy
in their ·time [L day] of ·trouble [adversity].
Obadiah 10-14
New American Standard Bible
10 “Because of (A)violence to your brother Jacob,
Shame will cover you,
(B)And you will be eliminated forever.
11 On the day that you (C)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And (D)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(E)You too were as one of them.
12 (F)Do not [a]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (G)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
On the day of their destruction;
Yes, (H)do not [b]boast
On the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
On the (I)day of their disaster.
You indeed, do not [c]gloat over their catastrophe
On the day of their disaster.
And do not (J)lay a hand on their wealth
On the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (K)stand at the crossroads
To eliminate their survivors;
And do not hand over their refugees
On the day of their distress.

you will be covered with shame;

while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots(D) for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.(E)
