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.

Edom’s misdeeds
10 Because of the slaughter and violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame will cover you,
and you will be destroyed forever.
11 You stood nearby,
strangers carried off his wealth,
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem;
you too were like one of them.
12 But you should have taken no pleasure over your brother
on the day of his misery;
you shouldn’t have rejoiced over the people of Judah
on the day of their devastation;
you shouldn’t have bragged
on their day of hardship.
13 You shouldn’t have entered the gate of my people
on the day of their defeat;
you shouldn’t have even looked on his suffering
on the day of his disaster;
you shouldn’t have stolen his possessions
on the day of his distress.
14 You shouldn’t have waited on the roads
to destroy his escapees;
you shouldn’t have handed over his survivors
on the day of defeat.
