Obadiah 10-12

Good News Translation

¹⁰ “Because you robbed and killed
    your relatives,^[a] the descendants of Jacob,
    you will be destroyed and dishonored forever.
¹¹ You stood aside on that day
    when enemies broke down their gates.
You were as bad as those strangers
    who carried off Jerusalem's wealth
    and divided it among themselves.
¹² You should not have gloated
    over the misfortune of your relatives in Judah.
You should not have been glad
    on the day of their ruin.
You should not have laughed at them
    in their distress.
