1:10 “Because 1 you violently slaughtered 2 your relatives, 3 the people of Jacob, 4
shame will cover you, and you will be destroyed 5 forever.
1:11 You stood aloof 6 while strangers took his army 7 captive,
and foreigners advanced to his gates. 8
When they cast lots 9 over Jerusalem, 10
you behaved as though you were in league 11 with them.
1:12 You should not 12 have gloated 13 when your relatives 14 suffered calamity. 15
You should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah when they were destroyed. 16
You should not have boasted 17 when they suffered adversity. 18
1:13 You should not have entered the city 19 of my people when they experienced distress. 20
You should not have joined 21 in gloating over their misfortune when they suffered distress. 22
You should not have looted 23 their wealth when they endured distress. 24
1:14 You should not have stood at the fork in the road 25 to slaughter 26 those trying to escape. 27
You should not have captured their refugees when they suffered adversity. 28
1:15 “For the day of the Lord 29 is approaching 30 for all the nations! 31
Just as you have done, so it will be done to you.
You will get exactly what your deeds deserve. 32
1:16 For just as you 33 have drunk 34 on my holy mountain,
so all the nations will drink continually. 35
They will drink, and they will gulp down;
they will be as though they had never been.
1:17 But on Mount Zion there will be a remnant of those who escape, 36
and it will be a holy place once again.
The descendants 37 of Jacob will conquer 38
those who had conquered them. 39
1:18 The descendants of Jacob will be a fire,
and the descendants of Joseph a flame.
The descendants of Esau will be like stubble.
They will burn them up and devour them.
There will not be a single survivor 40 of the descendants of Esau!”
Indeed, the Lord has spoken it.
