Obadiah 11-13

International Children’s Bible

¹¹ You stood aside without helping
    while strangers carried Israel’s treasures away.
Foreigners entered Israel’s city gate.
    They threw lots to decide what part of Jerusalem they would take.
    At that time you were like one of those foreigners.

¹² “Do not laugh at your brothers’ trouble.
Do not be happy when people destroy Judah.
Do not brag about the cruel things done to them.
¹³ Do not enter the city gate of my people
    in their time of trouble.
Do not laugh at their problems
    in their time of trouble.
Do not take their treasures
    in their time of trouble.
