12“aNow do not look on your brother’s day with triumph,

The day of his misfortune.

And bdo not be glad over the sons of Judah

In the day when they perish;

And cdo not 1let your mouth speak great things

In the day of their distress.

13“Do not enter the gate of My people

In the aday of their disaster.

Indeed, you, do not look on their calamity with triumph

In the day of their disaster.

And do not bsend out for their wealth

In the day of their disaster.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

But do not gloat over the day of your brother

in the day of his misfortune;

do not rejoice over the people of Judah

in the day of their ruin;

do not boast

in the day of distress.

Do not enter the gate of my people

in the day of their calamity;

do not gloat over his disaster

in the day of his calamity;

do not loot his wealth

in the day of his calamity.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

You should not gloat over your brother

in the day of his misfortune,

nor rejoice over the people of Judah

in the day of their destruction,

nor boast so much

in the day of their trouble.

You should not march through the gates of my people

in the day of their disaster,

nor gloat over them in their calamity

in the day of their disaster,

nor seize their wealth

in the day of their disaster.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Do not gloat over your brother

in the day of his calamity;

do not rejoice over the people of Judah

in the day of their destruction;

do not boastfully mock

in the day of distress.

Do not enter my people’s city gate

in the day of their disaster.

Yes, you—do not gloat over their misery

in the day of their disaster,

and do not appropriate their possessions

in the day of their disaster.

NLTNew Living Translation

“You should not have gloated

when they exiled your relatives to distant lands.

You should not have rejoiced

when the people of Judah suffered such misfortune.

You should not have spoken arrogantly

in that terrible time of trouble.

You should not have plundered the land of Israel

when they were suffering such calamity.

You should not have gloated over their destruction

when they were suffering such calamity.

You should not have seized their wealth

when they were suffering such calamity.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

But you should not have gloated over your brother’s day, on the day of his misfortune, and you should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah on the day of their perishing, and you should not have opened your mouth wide on the day of distress. You should not have entered the gate of my people on the day of their disaster. You also should not have gloated over his misery on the day of his disaster, and you should not have stretched out your hands to his wealth on the day of his disaster.

KJV 1900King James Version

But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger;

Neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction;

Neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity:

Yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity,

Nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
