Obadiah 10–16

Edom’s Sins against Judah

¹⁰You will be covered with shame

and destroyed forever

because of violence done to your brother Jacob. ^b

¹¹On the day you stood aloof, ^c

on the day strangers captured his wealth, ^d

while foreigners entered his gate

and cast lots for Jerusalem, ^e

you were just like one of them. ^f

¹²Do not ^ggloat over your brother ^h

in the day of his calamity;

do not rejoice over the people of Judah ⁱ

in the day of their destruction;

do not boastfully mock ^jk

in the day of distress. ^l

¹³Do not enter the gate of My people

in the day of their disaster. ^m

Yes, you—do not gloat over their misery

in the day of their disaster

and do not appropriate their possessions ⁿ

in the day of their disaster.

¹⁴Do not stand at the crossroads ^op

to cut off their fugitives,

and do not hand over their survivors

in the day of distress.

Judgment of the Nations

¹⁵For the Day of the Lord ^qis near,

against all the nations. ^r

As you have done, ^sso it will be done to you;

what you deserve will return on your own head. ^t

¹⁶As you have drunk on My holy mountain, ^u

so all the nations will drink continually. ^v

They will drink and gulp down

and be as though they had never been.
