13 You shouldn’t have entered the gate of my people
        on the day of their defeat;
    you shouldn’t have even looked on his suffering
        on the day of his disaster;
    you shouldn’t have stolen his possessions
        on the day of his distress.
14 You shouldn’t have waited on the roads
        to destroy his escapees;
    you shouldn’t have handed over his survivors
        on the day of defeat.

        against all the nations.
    As you have done, so it will be done to you;
        your actions will make you suffer!

nor seize their wealth
    in the day of their disaster.
14 You should not wait at the crossroads
    to cut down their fugitives,(B)
nor hand over their survivors
    in the day of their trouble.

15 “The day of the Lord is near(C)
    for all nations.
As you have done, it will be done to you;
    your deeds(D) will return upon your own head.
