Obadiah 11-13
International Standard Version
11 “On the day you just stood by,[a]
when[b] strangers carried away Jacob’s[c] 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,[d]
on the day of his calamity.
You should not have rejoiced
when[e] the descendants of Judah were perishing.
You should not have boasted[f]
when[g] they were in distress.
13 “You should not have entered the gate of my people
on the day of their disaster.[h]
Also, you should not have gloated over Judah’s[i] misfortune
on the day of his disaster,[j]
nor should you have plundered his wealth
on the day of his disaster.[k]
