Obadiah 10-12
EasyEnglish Bible
10 This will happen because you were cruel to your brother Jacob (the people in Israel).
God will make you ashamed because of this and you will die.
11 Men from other countries came into Jerusalem. They took away all the good things from Jerusalem. They played a game for the best things. You were as bad as they were. You did not help the Israelites.
12 Your brothers in Judah were in great trouble.
You thought that you were better than they. But you were wrong to think that.
You should not have been happy when the people in Judah were dying.
You should not have been happy when they were in trouble.
Obadiah 10-12
New International Version
10 Because of the violence(A) against your brother Jacob,(B)
you will be covered with shame;
you will be destroyed forever.(C)
11 On the day you stood aloof
while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots(D) for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.(E)
12 You should not gloat(F) over your brother
in the day of his misfortune,(G)
nor rejoice(H) over the people of Judah
in the day of their destruction,(I)
nor boast(J) so much
in the day of their trouble.(K)
