Obadiah 1:10-15 ▼

10 |Shame will overwhelm you because of the violence you inflicted on your brother Jacob, and you will be excluded forever.

11 |On the day you just stood by, when strangers carried away Jacob's wealth and foreigners entered his gates, casting lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.

12 |You should not have gloated over your brother, on the day of his calamity. You should not have rejoiced when the descendants of Judah were perishing. You should not have boasted when they were in distress.

13 |You should not have entered the gate of my people on the day of their disaster. Also, you should not have gloated over Judah's misfortune on the day of his disaster, nor should you have plundered his wealth on the day of his disaster.

14 And you should not have taken your stand at the crossroads to cut down his fleeing refugees, nor should you have handed over his survivors on the day of his distress.|

15 |Indeed, the Day of the LORD approaches all nations. As you have done it will be done to you— your deeds will return to haunt you!
