Tree of Life Version
Obadiah 1:8-15
8In that day,” —declares Adonai— “will I not destroy the wise men from Edom and understanding from the hill country of Esau?
9Then your mighty men, O Teman, will be shattered—so everyone will be cut off from the hill country of Esau by slaughter.
10“Because of your violence to your brother Jacob, shame will cover you, and you will be cut off forever.
11On the day that you stood aloof—on the day that strangers carried away his wealth, while foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem— you were just like one of them.
12You should not look down on your brother on the day of his disaster, nor should you rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. You should not speak proudly in the day of their distress.
13Do not enter the gate of My people in the day of their disaster. Yes, you. Do not gloat over their misery in the day of their disaster. Yes, you— do not loot their wealth in the day of their calamity.
14Do not stand at the crossroad to cut down his fugitives, and do not imprison his survivors in the day of distress.
15“For the day of Adonai is near against all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you. Your dealing will return on your own head.
