Obadiah 14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 You should not have stood where the roads cross
and destroyed those who were trying to escape.
You should not have captured those who escaped alive.
15 The Day of the Lord is coming soon
to all the nations.
And the evil you did to others will happen to you.
The same bad things will fall down on your own head.
16 You spilled[a] blood on my holy mountain,[b]
so other nations will spill your blood.[c]
You will be finished.
It will be as if you never existed.
