Obadiah 1:8-15
81Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? 9And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10For thy 2violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. 11In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive3 his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. 12But4 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.5 13Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their6 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 have7 delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress. 15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen:8 as thou hast done, it shall be done to thee: thy reward shall return upon thy own head.
