Obadiah 1:11-14

11While you stood there doing nothing, strangers carried off Jacob’s wealth. Foreigners entered his gates and threw dice for Jerusalem. You acted like one of them.

12Don’t gloat over your relative’s misfortune or be happy when the people of Judah are destroyed. Don’t brag so much when they’re in distress.

13Don’t march through the gates of my people when disaster strikes or gloat over their misery when disaster strikes. Don’t take their wealth when disaster strikes.

14Don’t stand at the crossroads to kill their refugees. Don’t hand over their survivors when they’re in distress.
