You should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah when they were destroyed. 5
You should not have boasted 6 when they suffered adversity. 7
1:13 You should not have entered the city 8 of my people when they experienced distress. 9
You should not have joined 10 in gloating over their misfortune when they suffered distress. 11
You should not have looted 12 their wealth when they endured distress. 13
1:14 You should not have stood at the fork in the road 14 to slaughter 15 those trying to escape. 16
You should not have captured their refugees when they suffered adversity. 17
1:15 “For the day of the Lord 18 is approaching 19 for all the nations! 20
Just as you have done, so it will be done to you.
You will get exactly what your deeds deserve. 21
1:16 For just as you 22 have drunk 23 on my holy mountain,
so all the nations will drink continually. 24
They will drink, and they will gulp down;
they will be as though they had never been.
