And bcast lots for Jerusalem—

12 “But you should not have agazed on the day of your brother
1In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have brejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
1In the day of his captivity;
Nor should you have brejoiced over the children of Judah
In the day of their destruction;
Nor should you have spoken proudly
In the day of distress.
