Obd 12 | MHM | STEP | v. 12 : Edom should not have looked at their brother’s troubles with joy or satisfaction. The day of Israel’s calamity should have moved them to compassion, not laughter or scorn. Edom rejoiced over the destruction of Judah and spoke proudly, making fun of Israel’s pain. This pride and pleasure in another’s suffering is wrong, especially when it is against God’s people .
