Obadiah 12-15
New American Standard Bible
12 (A)Do not [a]gloat over your brother’s day,
The day of his misfortune.
And (B)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah
On the day of their destruction;
Yes, (C)do not [b]boast
On the day of their distress.
13 Do not enter the gate of My people
On the (D)day of their disaster.
You indeed, do not [c]gloat over their catastrophe
On the day of their disaster.
And do not (E)lay a hand on their wealth
On the day of their disaster.
14 Do not (F)stand at the crossroads
To eliminate their survivors;
And do not hand over their refugees
On the day of their distress.
The Day of the Lord and the Future
15 “For the (G)day of the Lord is near for all the nations.
(H)Just as you have done, it will be done to you.
Your (I)dealings will return on your own head.

Obadiah 12-15
King James Version
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
