10 Because of the slaughter and the violence
    inflicted on your brother Jacob,
shame will cover you
    and you will be cut off forever.
11 On the day when you stood aside
    while strangers carried off his wealth,
and foreigners passed through his gates
    and cast lots for Jerusalem,
    you were as evil as they were.

    on the day of their ruin,
nor boast unfeelingly
    on the day of their distress.
