Obadiah 1:8-15
8Will I not on that day,” declares the Lord, “1Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?9Then your 2mighty men will be dismayed, O 3Teman, So that everyone may be 4cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.
10“Because of 5violence to your brother Jacob, 6You will be covered with shame, 7And you will be cut off forever.11On the day that you 8stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And 9cast lots for Jerusalem-- 10You too were as one of them.1211Do not 12gloat over your brother’s day, The day of his misfortune. And 13do not rejoice over the sons of Judah In the day of their destruction; Yes, 14do not 15boast In the day of their distress.13Do not enter the gate of My people In the 16day of their disaster. Yes, you, do not 17gloat over their calamity In the day of their disaster. And do not 18loot their wealth In the day of their disaster.14Do not 19stand at the fork of the road To cut down their fugitives; And do not imprison their survivors In the day of their distress.
15“For the 20day of the Lord draws near on all the nations. 21As you have done, it will be done to you. Your 22dealings will return on your own head.
