Obadiah 10-14
New American Standard Bible
10 “Because of (A)violence to your brother Jacob,
Shame will cover you,
(B)And you will be eliminated forever.
11 On the day that you (C)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And (D)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(E)You too were as one of them.
12 (F)Do not [a]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (G)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
On the day of their destruction;
Yes, (H)do not [b]boast
On the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
On the (I)day of their disaster.
You indeed, do not [c]gloat over their catastrophe
On the day of their disaster.
And do not (J)lay a hand on their wealth
On the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (K)stand at the crossroads
To eliminate their survivors;
And do not hand over their refugees
On the day of their distress.

Obadiah 10-14
Holman 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 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 the gate of My people
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.
