Obadiah 12-14
The Voice
12 You should never have gloated over your brother’s tragedy that day
or been secretly happy about all their misfortune.
You should never have celebrated the people of Judah’s decimation.
You should never have acted so arrogantly
on the day they suffered so much.
13 You should never have walked through the city gates of My people
on the day of this disaster.
You should never have gloated at their difficulties
on the day of this disaster.
You should never have taken advantage of them and their wealth
on the day of this disaster.
14 You should never have lain in wait along the crossroads
to cut off those trying to escape;
You should never have handed over the handful of survivors to Babylonian captivity
on the day of their great distress.
Obadiah 12-14

nor boast(E) so much
in the day of their trouble.(F)
13 You should not march through the gates of my people

nor seize their wealth
in the day of their disaster.

to cut down their fugitives,(H)
nor hand over their survivors
