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.

English Standard Version
Edom's Violence Against Jacob
10 (A)Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
(B)and you shall be cut off forever.
11 (C)On the day that you stood aloof,
(D)on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
(E)and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 (F)But do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
(G)do not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
(H)do not boast[a]
in the day of distress.
13 (I)Do not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
(J)do not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
(K)do not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 (L)Do not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
