10 “Because you robbed and killedyour relatives, the descendants of Jacob,you will be destroyed and dishonored forever.
11 You stood aside on that daywhen enemies broke down their gates.You were as bad as those strangerswho carried off Jerusalem's wealthand divided it among themselves.
12 You should not have gloatedover the misfortune of your relatives in Judah.You should not have been gladon the day of their ruin.You should not have laughed at themin their distress.
13 You should not have entered the city of my peopleto gloat over their sufferingand to seize their richeson the day of their disaster.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroadsto catch those trying to escape.You should not have handed them over to the enemyon the day of their distress.
15 “The day is near when I, the Lord,will judge all nations.Edom, what you have donewill be done to you.You will get back what you have given.
16 My people have drunk a bitter cup of punishmenton my sacred hill.But all the surrounding nations will drinka still more bitter cup of punishment;they will drink it all and vanish away.
