"Because of ^(C1)violence to your brother Jacob, Shame will cover you, ^(C2)And you will be eliminated forever.

-"On the day that you ^(C1)stood aloof, On the day that strangers carried off his wealth, And foreigners entered his gate And ^(C2)cast lots for Jerusalem— ^(C3)You too were as one of them.

-"^(C1)Do not ^(F1)gloat over your brother's day, The day of his misfortune. And ^(C2)do not rejoice over the sons of Judah On the day of their destruction; Yes, ^(C3)do not ^(F2)boast On the day of their distress.

-"Do not enter the gate of My people On the ^(C1)day of their disaster. You indeed, do not ^(F1)gloat over their catastrophe On the day of their disaster. And do not ^(C2)lay a hand on their wealth On the day of their disaster.

-"Do not ^(C1)stand at the crossroads To eliminate their survivors; And do not hand over their refugees On the day of their distress.

"For the ^(C1)day of the LORD is near for all the nations. ^(C2)Just as you have done, it will be done to you. Your ^(C3)dealings will return on your own head.

-"For just as you ^(C1)drank on ^(C2)My holy mountain, All the nations ^(C3)will drink continually. They will drink ^(F1)to the last drop, And become as if they had never existed.
