10 For slaughter, for violence [to] your brother Jacob, || Shame covers you, || And you have been cut off for all time.

11 In the day of your standing aloof from the opposite [side], || In the day of strangers taking his force captive, || And foreigners have entered his gates, || And have cast a lot for Jerusalem, || Even you [are] as one of them!

12 And—you do not look on the day of your brother, || On the day of his alienation, || Nor do you rejoice over sons of Judah, || In the day of their destruction, || Nor make your mouth great in a day of distress.

13 Nor come into a gate of My people in a day of their calamity, || Nor look, even you, on its misfortune in a day of its calamity, || Nor send forth against its force in a day of its calamity,

14 Nor stand by the breach to cut off its escaped, || Nor deliver up its remnant in a day of distress.

15 For near [is] the Day of YHWH, on all the nations, || As you have done, it is done to you, || Your deed turns back on your own head.
