Obadiah 10-14
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.

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 city 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 my people’s city gate
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.
