Obadiah 10-14
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “Because of (A)violence to your brother Jacob,
[a]You will be covered with shame,
(B)And you will be cut off forever.
11 On the day that you (C)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers took his wealth captive
And foreigners entered his gate
And (D)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(E)You too were as one of them.
12 (F)Now do not look on your brother’s day with triumph,
The day of his misfortune.
And (G)do not be glad over the sons of Judah
In the day when they perish;
And (H)do not [b]let your mouth speak great things
In the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
In the (I)day of their disaster.
Indeed, you, do not look on their calamity with triumph
In the day of their disaster.
And do not (J)send out for their wealth
In the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (K)stand at the fork of the road
To cut down those among them who escape;
And do not deliver over their survivors
In the day of their distress.

Obadiah 10-14
American Standard Version
10 For the violence done to thy brother Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 11 In the day that thou stoodest [a]on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his [b]substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 12 But look not thou on the day of thy brother in [c]the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress. 13 Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. 14 And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.
