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.

You should not have thought that you were better than they.
You thought it at the time when they were in trouble.

    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

nor seize their wealth
    in the day of their disaster.
