Judgment for Edom’s Cruelty to Jacob

10 “Shame will overwhelm you
    because of the violence you inflicted on your brother Jacob,
and you will be excluded[a] forever.

11 “On the day you just stood by,[b]
when[c] strangers carried away Jacob’s[d] wealth
and foreigners entered his gates,
    casting lots for Jerusalem,
you were just like one of them.

12 “You should not have gloated over your brother,[e]
    on the day of his calamity.
You should not have rejoiced
    when[f] the descendants of Judah were perishing.
You should not have boasted[g]
    when[h] they were in distress.

10 För våld mot din broder Jakob
    ska du täckas med skam
        och utrotas till evig tid.

11 Den dag du stod på avstånd,
    den dag då främlingar
        förde bort hans rikedom
    och utlänningar drog in
        genom hans portar
            och kastade lott om Jerusalem,
    då var du också som en av dem.
12 Se inte med skadeglädje
    på din broders dag,
        på hans olyckas dag,
    gläd dig inte över Juda barn
        på deras undergångs dag,
    öppna inte din mun så stort
        på nödens dag.
