Obadiah 11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ You joined the enemies of Israel.
    Strangers carried Israel’s treasures away.
Foreigners entered Israel’s city gate.
    They threw lots to decide what part of Jerusalem they would get.
    And you were right there with them, waiting to get your share.
¹² You should not have laughed^[a]
    at your brother’s trouble.
You should not have been happy
    when they destroyed Judah.
You should not have bragged^[b]
    at the time of their trouble.
¹³ You should not have entered the city gate of my people
    and laughed at their problems.
You should not have taken their treasures
    in the time of their trouble.
