11 In the day that you pstood on the other side—

In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,

When foreigners entered his gates

And qcast lots for Jerusalem—

Even you were as one of them.

12 “But you should not have rgazed 3on the day of your brother

4In the day of his captivity;

Nor should you have srejoiced over the children of Judah

In the day of their destruction;

Nor should you have spoken proudly

In the day of distress.

13 You should not have entered the gate of My people

In the day of their calamity.

Indeed, you should not have 5gazed on their affliction

In the day of their calamity,

Nor laid hands on their substance

In the day of their calamity.

14 You should not have stood at the crossroads

To cut off those among them who escaped;

Nor should you have 6delivered up those among them who remained

In the day of distress.

15 “For tthe day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;

uAs you have done, it shall be done to you;

Your 7reprisal shall return upon your own head.

16 vFor as you drank on My holy mountain,

So shall all the nations drink continually;

Yes, they shall drink, and swallow,

And they shall be as though they had never been.

Israel’s Final Triumph

17 “But on Mount Zion there wshall be 8deliverance,

And there shall be holiness;

The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
