11 You stood aside without helpingwhile strangers carried Israel’s treasures away.When foreigners entered Israel’s city gateand threw lots to decide what part of Jerusalem they would take,you were like one of them.
12 “Edom, do not laugh at your brother Israel in his time of troubleor be happy about the people of Judah when they are destroyed.Do not brag when cruel things are done to them.
13 Do not enter the city gate of my peoplein their time of troubleor laugh at their problemsin their time of trouble.Do not take their treasuresin their time of trouble.
14 Do not stand at the crossroadsto destroy those who are trying to escape.Do not capture those who escape alive and turn them over to their enemyin their time of trouble.
15 “The Lord’s day of judging is coming soonto all the nations.The same evil things you did to other peoplewill happen to you;they will come back upon your own head.
16 Because you drank in my Temple,all the nations will drink on and on.They will drink and drinkuntil they disappear.
17 But on Mount Zion some will escape the judgment,and it will be a holy place.The people of Jacob will take back their landfrom those who took it from them.
