he will uncover your sins.

Edom’s Violence Against Jacob
10 xBecause of the violence done to your brother Jacob,shame shall cover you,
yand you shall be cut off forever.
11 zOn the day that you stood aloof,
aaon the day that strangers carried off his wealth
and foreigners entered his gates
aband cast lots for Jerusalem,
you were like one of them.
12 acBut do not gloat over the day of your brother
in the day of his misfortune;
addo not rejoice over the people of Judah
in the day of their ruin;
aedo not boast ▼
▼Hebrew do not enlarge your mouth
in the day of distress.
13 agDo not enter the gate of my people
in the day of their calamity;
ahdo not gloat over his disaster
in the day of his calamity;
aido not loot his wealth
in the day of his calamity.
14 ajDo not stand at the crossroads
to cut off his fugitives;
do not hand over his survivors
in the day of distress.
