You will be covered with shame and destroyed forever because of violence done to your brother Jacob.On the day you stood aloof, on the day strangers captured his wealth, while foreigners entered his city gate and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were just like one of them.Do not gloat over your brother in the day of his calamity; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction; do not boastfully mock in the day of distress.Do not enter my people’s city gate in the day of their disaster. Yes, you— do not gloat over their misery in the day of their disaster, and do not appropriate their possessions in the day of their disaster.Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off their fugitives, and do not hand over their survivors in the day of distress.For the day of the LORD is near, against all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; what you deserve will return on your own head.

“‘ Because you maintained a perpetual hatred and gave the Israelites over to the power of the sword in the time of their disaster, the time of final punishment,therefore, as I live— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD— I will destine you for bloodshed, and it will pursue you. Since you did not hate bloodshed, it will pursue you.I will make Mount Seir a desolate waste and will cut off from it those who come and go.I will fill its mountains with the slain; those slain by the sword will fall on your hills, in your valleys, and in all your ravines.I will make you a perpetual desolation; your cities will not be inhabited. Then you will know that I am the LORD.“‘ Because you said,“ These two nations and two lands will be mine, and we will possess them”— though the LORD was there—therefore, as I live— this is the declaration of the Lord GOD— I will treat you according to the anger and jealousy you showed in your hatred of them. I will make myself known among them when I judge you.

I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war.
