Obadiah 10-12
International Standard Version
Judgment for Edom’s Cruelty to Jacob
10 “Shame will overwhelm you
because of the violence you inflicted on your brother Jacob,
and you will be excluded[a] forever.
11 “On the day you just stood by,[b]
when[c] strangers carried away Jacob’s[d] wealth
and foreigners entered his gates,
casting lots for Jerusalem,
you were just like one of them.
12 “You should not have gloated over your brother,[e]
on the day of his calamity.
You should not have rejoiced
when[f] the descendants of Judah were perishing.
You should not have boasted[g]
when[h] they were in distress.
