11 You stood aside without helping
    while strangers carried Israel’s treasures away.
Foreigners entered Israel’s city gate.
    They threw lots to decide what part of Jerusalem they would take.

Commands That Edom Broke

12 “Do not laugh at your brothers’ trouble.
Do not be happy when people destroy Judah.
Do not brag about the cruel things done to them.
13 Do not enter the city gate of my people
    in their time of trouble.
Do not laugh at their problems
    in their time of trouble.
Do not take their treasures
    in their time of trouble.

    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.
