Obadiah 11-13
Modern English Version
11 On the day that you stood aside,
on the day that strangers carried off his wealth,
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots on Jerusalem,
you also were like one of them.
12 But you should not have gloated
on the day of your brother,
on the day of his misfortune;
you should not have rejoiced over the children of Judah
on the day of their destruction;
you should not have boasted
on the day of distress.
13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
on the day of their calamity.
You should not have gloated over the disaster of Judah[a]
on the day of his calamity;
you should not have seized his wealth
on the day of his calamity.
