Obadiah 10-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever. ¹¹ On the day when you stood by and watched, on the day when strangers carried away Jacob’s wealth,^[a] and foreigners entered his gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.

¹² But do not look down on your brother on the day of his misfortune.

Do not rejoice over the people of Judah on the day when they are destroyed.

Do not speak proudly on the day of distress.

¹³ Do not enter the gate of my people on the day of their disaster.

Do not look down on their affliction on the day of their calamity.

Do not seize their wealth on the day of their disaster.

¹⁴ Do not stand in the crossroads to cut off those who have escaped.

Do not imprison his survivors on the day of distress.
