‏ Obadiah 11

11 You stood aloof ^{▼▼tn Heb “in the day of your standing”; cf. NAB “On the day when you stood by.”} while strangers took his army ^{▼▼tn Or perhaps, “wealth” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT). The Hebrew word is somewhat ambiguous here. This word also appears in v. 13, where it clearly refers to wealth.} captive
and foreigners advanced to his gates. ^{▼▼tc The present translation follows the Qere, which reads the plural (“gates”) rather than the singular.}
When they cast lots ^{▼▼sn Casting lots seems to be a way of deciding who would gain control over material possessions and enslaved peoples following a military victory.} over Jerusalem,
you behaved as though you were in league ^{▼▼tn Heb “like one from them”; cf. NASB “You too were as one of them.”} with them.
