Obadiah 1:12-16

12But1 thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.2 13Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their3 calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity; 14Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escaped; neither shouldest thou have4 delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress. 15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen:5 as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head. 16For as ye drank upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall6 drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
