Obadiah 14-16

Good News Translation

^14 (A)You should not have stood at the crossroads
    to catch those trying to escape.
You should not have handed them over to the enemy
    on the day of their distress.

¹⁵ “The day is near when I, the Lord,
    will judge all nations.
Edom, what you have done
    will be done to you.
    You will get back what you have given.
¹⁶ My people have drunk a bitter cup of punishment
    on my sacred hill.^[a]
But all the surrounding nations will drink
    a still more bitter cup of punishment;
    they will drink it all and vanish away.
