Obadiah 10-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

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.
¹³ Don’t march through the gates of my people when disaster strikes
or gloat over their misery when disaster strikes.
Don’t take their wealth when disaster strikes.
¹⁴ Don’t stand at the crossroads to kill their refugees.
Don’t hand over their survivors when they’re in distress.
