11 In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also wast as one of them.

12 But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of distress.

13 Neither shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin: neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day of his desolation.

11 On the day you stood aloof
    while strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
    and cast lots(A) for Jerusalem,
    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)
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.
