Obadiah 10-16

New Century Version

¹⁰ You did violence to your relatives, the Israelites,
    so you will be covered with shame
    and destroyed forever.
¹¹ You stood aside without helping
    while strangers carried Israel’s treasures away.
When foreigners entered Israel’s city gate
    and threw lots to decide what part of Jerusalem they would take,
    you were like one of them.

¹² “Edom, do not laugh at your brother Israel in his time of trouble
or be happy about the people of Judah when they are destroyed.
    Do not brag when cruel things are done to them.
¹³ Do not enter the city gate of my people
    in their time of trouble
or laugh at their problems
    in their time of trouble.
Do not take their treasures
    in their time of trouble.
¹⁴ Do not stand at the crossroads
    to destroy those who are trying to escape.
Do not capture those who escape alive and turn them over to their enemy
    in their time of trouble.

¹⁵ “The Lord’s day of judging is coming soon
    to all the nations.
The same evil things you did to other people
    will happen to you;
    they will come back upon your own head.
¹⁶ Because you drank in my Temple,
    all the nations will drink on and on.
They will drink and drink
    until they disappear.
