Amos 1:11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Edom,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because he pursued his brother with the sword
and cast off all pity;
he maintained his anger perpetually[b]
and kept his wrath[c] forever.(A)
Obadiah 10-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Edom Mistreated His Brother
10 For the slaughter and violence done to your brother Jacob,
shame shall cover you,
and you shall be cut off forever.(A)
11 On the day that you stood aside,
on the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
and cast lots for Jerusalem,
you, too, were one of them.(B)
12 But you should not have gloated over[a] your brother
on the day of his misfortune;
you should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah
on the day of their ruin;
you should not have boasted
on the day of distress.(C)
13 You should not have entered the gate of my people
on the day of their calamity;
you should not have joined in the gloating over Judah’s[b] disaster
on the day of his calamity;
you should not have stolen his goods
on the day of his calamity.(D)
14 You should not have stood at the crossings
to cut off his fugitives;
you should not have handed over his survivors
on the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near against all the nations.
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
your deeds shall return on your own head.(E)
16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain,
all the nations shall drink continually;
they shall drink and gulp down[c]
and shall be as though they had never been.(F)
