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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Edom Mistreated His Brother
10 For the slaughter and violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
and you shall be cut off forever.(A)
11 On the day that you stood aside,
on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you, too, were one of them.(B)
12 But you should not have gloated over[a] your brother
on the day of his misfortune;
you should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah
on the day of their ruin;
you should not have boasted
on the day of distress.(C)
13 You should not have entered the gate of my people
on the day of their calamity;
you should not have joined in the gloating over Judah’s[b] disaster
on the day of his calamity;
you should not have stolen his goods
on the day of his calamity.(D)
14 You should not have stood at the crossings
to cut off his fugitives;
you should not have handed over his survivors
on the day of distress.
