Obadiah / Question
Question source
Obadiah
Obadiah says Edom looked on, rejoiced, and boasted over Judah in the day of disaster (Obadiah 1:12). It also entered the gate of God’s people, looted their wealth, and stood at the crossroads to cut off fugitives and hand over survivors (Obadiah 1:13–14).
12But don`t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don`t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don`t speak proudly in the day of distress.
13Don`t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don`t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
14Don`t stand in the crossroads to cut off those of his who escape. Don`t deliver up those of his who remain in the day of distress.
