Obadiah 11-13
Living Bible
11 For you deserted Israel in his time of need. You stood aloof, refusing to lift a finger to help him when invaders carried off his wealth and divided Jerusalem among them by lot; you were as one of his enemies.
12 “You should not have done it. You should not have gloated when they took him far away to foreign lands; you should not have rejoiced in the day of his misfortune; you should not have mocked in his time of need. 13 You yourselves went into the land of Israel in the day of his calamity and looted him. You made yourselves rich at his expense.

Obadiah 11-13
New International Version
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.
