The Charge: Violence Against Jacob

Obadiah 1:10-14

For the violence done to your kinsman Ya'akov, shame will cover you; and you will be forever cut off.

On that day you stood aside, while strangers carried off his treasure, and foreigners entered his gates to cast lots for Yerushalayim - you were no different from them.

You shouldn't have gloated over your kinsman on their day of disaster or rejoiced over the people of Y'hudah on their day of destruction. You shouldn't have spoken arrogantly on a day of trouble

or entered the gate of my people on their day of calamity - no, you shouldn't have gloated over their suffering on their day of calamity or laid hands on their treasure on their day of calamity.

You shouldn't have stood at the crossroads to cut down their fugitives or handed over their survivors on a day of trouble."
