11 “On the day that you (A)stood aloof,
On the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
And foreigners entered his gate
And (B)cast lots for Jerusalem—
(C)You too were as one of them.
12 (D)Do not [a]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (E)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Yes, (F)do not [b]boast
In the day of their distress.
13 “Do not enter the gate of My people
In the (G)day of their disaster.
Yes, you, do not [c]gloat over their calamity
In the day of their disaster.
And do not (H)loot their wealth
In the day of their disaster.
