Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity.
And I am exceedingly angry with the nations that are at ease; for while I was angry but a little, they furthered the disaster.
“Because you said, ‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will take possession of them’—although the Lord was there—
Because you cherished perpetual enmity and gave over the people of Israel to the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, at the time of their final punishment,
I can count all my bones— they stare and gloat over me;
It may be that the Lord will look on the wrong done to me, and that the Lord will repay me with good for his cursing today.”
