Lamentations 1:21
New King James Version
21 “They have heard that I sigh,
But no one comforts me.
All my enemies have heard of my trouble;
They are (A)glad that You have done it.
Bring on (B)the day You have [a]announced,
That they may become like me.

Obadiah 12-15
New King James Version
12 “But you should not have (A)gazed[a] on the day of your brother
[b]In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have (B)rejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
13 You should not have entered the gate of My people
In the day of their calamity.
Indeed, you should not have [c]gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity,
Nor laid hands on their substance
In the day of their calamity.
14 You should not have stood at the crossroads
To cut off those among them who escaped;
Nor should you have [d]delivered up those among them who remained
In the day of distress.
15 “For(C) the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
(D)As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your [e]reprisal shall return upon your own head.
