Obadiah 11-15

English Standard Version

^11 (A)On the day that you stood aloof,
    ^(B)on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
    ^(C)and cast lots for Jerusalem,
    you were like one of them.
^12 (D)But do not gloat over the day of your brother
    in the day of his misfortune;
^(E)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
    in the day of their ruin;
^(F)do not boast^[a]
    in the day of distress.
^13 (G)Do not enter the gate of my people
    in the day of their calamity;
^(H)do not gloat over his disaster
    in the day of his calamity;
^(I)do not loot his wealth
    in the day of his calamity.
^14 (J)Do not stand at the crossroads
    to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
    in the day of distress.

¹⁵ For ^(K)the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
^(L)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
    your deeds shall return on your own head.
