Obadiah 10-14
World English Bible
10 For the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever. 11 In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them. 12 But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress. 13 Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity. 14 Don’t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don’t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.

Obadiah 10-14
International Standard Version
Judgment for Edom’s Cruelty to Jacob
10 “Shame will overwhelm you
because of the violence you inflicted on your brother Jacob,
and you will be excluded[a] forever.
11 “On the day you just stood by,[b]
when[c] strangers carried away Jacob’s[d] wealth
and foreigners entered his gates,
casting lots for Jerusalem,
you were just like one of them.
12 “You should not have gloated over your brother,[e]
on the day of his calamity.
You should not have rejoiced
when[f] the descendants of Judah were perishing.
You should not have boasted[g]
when[h] they were in distress.
13 “You should not have entered the gate of my people
on the day of their disaster.[i]
Also, you should not have gloated over Judah’s[j] misfortune
on the day of his disaster,[k]
nor should you have plundered his wealth
on the day of his disaster.[l]
14 And you should not have taken your stand at the crossroads
to cut down his fleeing refugees,
nor should you have handed over his survivors
on the day of his distress.”
