    you were like one of them.(B)
12 You should not gloat(C) over your brother
    in the day of his misfortune,(D)
nor rejoice(E) over the people of Judah
    in the day of their destruction,(F)
nor boast(G) so much
    in the day of their trouble.(H)

    in the day of their disaster,
nor gloat over them in their calamity(I)
    in the day of their disaster,
nor seize their wealth
    in the day of their disaster.
