Obadiah 1:8-15

8Shall I not in that dayH3117, saith Jehovah, destroyH6 the wiseH2450 men out of EdomH123, and understandingH8394 out of the mount of EsauH6215?

9And thy mightyH1368 menH376, O TemanH8487, shall be dismayedH2865, to the end that every oneH376 may be cutH3772 off from the mount of EsauH6215 by slaughter.

10Because of violenceH2555 against thy brotherH251 JacobH3290, shameH955 shall coverH3680 thee, and thou shalt be cutH3772 off for everH5769.

11In the dayH3117 that thou stoodest on the other side, in the dayH3117 that strangersH2114 carried away captiveH7617 his substance, and foreigners entered into his gatesH8179, and castH3032 lotsH1486 upon JerusalemH3389, even thou wast as oneH259 of them.

12But thou shouldest not have lookedH7200 on the dayH3117 of thy brotherH251 in the dayH3117 of his disaster; neither shouldest thou have rejoicedH8055 over the children of JudahH3063 in the dayH3117 of their destruction; nor have opened wide thy mouthH6310 in the dayH3117 of distressH6869.

13Thou shouldest not have entered into the gateH8179 of my peopleH5971 in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, nor have lookedH7200, even thou, on their affliction in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343, neither shouldest thou have laid [hands] on their substance in the dayH3117 of their calamityH343;

14and thou shouldest not have stoodH5975 on the crossway, to cutH3772 off those of his that did escapeH6412, nor have deliveredH5462 up those remaining of him in the dayH3117 of distressH6869.

15For the dayH3117 of Jehovah is near upon all the nationsH1471: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy recompence shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218.
