13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have [a]gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have [b]delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.

15 “For(A) the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
(B)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your [c]reprisal shall return upon your own head.
