11 You stood nearby,
        strangers carried off his wealth,
    and foreigners entered his gates
        and cast lots for Jerusalem;
    you too were like one of them.
12 But you should have taken no pleasure over your brother
        on the day of his misery;
    you shouldn’t have rejoiced over the people of Judah
        on the day of their devastation;
    you shouldn’t have bragged
        on their day of hardship.
13 You shouldn’t have entered the gate of my people
        on the day of their defeat;
    you shouldn’t have even looked on his suffering
        on the day of his disaster;
    you shouldn’t have stolen his possessions
        on the day of his distress.

    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)
13 You should not march through the gates of my people
    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.
