Obadiah 11-13
The Voice
11 You just stood there, doing nothing,
while strangers ransacked their city,
While invaders rushed through the gates and divided up Jerusalem for themselves.
You might as well have been one of them.
12 You should never have gloated over your brother’s tragedy that day
or been secretly happy about all their misfortune.
You should never have celebrated the people of Judah’s decimation.
You should never have acted so arrogantly
on the day they suffered so much.
13 You should never have walked through the city gates of My people
on the day of this disaster.
You should never have gloated at their difficulties
on the day of this disaster.
You should never have taken advantage of them and their wealth
on the day of this disaster.
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.
