Obadiah 1:8-15

8In that day — this is the Lord’s declaration — will I not eliminate the wise ones of Edom and those who understand from the hill country of Esau?

9Teman, your warriors will be terrified so that everyone from the hill country of Esau will be destroyed by slaughter.

10You will be covered with shame and destroyed forever because of violence done to your brother Jacob.

11On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers captured his wealth, while foreigners entered his city gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.

12Do 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.

13Do 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.

14Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, and do not hand over their survivors in the day of distress.

15For the day of the Lord is near, against all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; what you deserve will return on your own head.
