Obadiah 10-14
Christian Standard Bible
Edom’s Sins against Judah
10 You will be covered with shame
and destroyed forever
because of violence done to your brother Jacob.(A)
11 On the day you stood aloof,(B)
on the day strangers captured his wealth,[a]
while foreigners entered his city gate
and cast lots for Jerusalem,(C)
you were just like one of them.(D)
12 Do not[b] gloat over your brother(E)
in the day of his calamity;
do not rejoice over the people of Judah(F)
in the day of their destruction;
do not boastfully mock[c](G)
in the day of distress.(H)
13 Do not enter my people’s city gate
in the day of their disaster.(I)
Yes, you—do not gloat over their misery
in the day of their disaster,
and do not appropriate their possessions(J)
in the day of their disaster.
14 Do not stand at the crossroads[d](K)
to cut off their fugitives,
and do not hand over their survivors
in the day of distress.
