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.
14 You should not have stood where the roads cross
    and destroyed those who were trying to escape.
    You should not have captured those who escaped alive.
