upon all the heathen....... Obadiah 1

It was the satisfaction of pride that caused them to do the things they did

No, they were not kids, so they knew better

They should have just did what was necessary, but instead,

 they led themselves to their own slaughter

The violence of their brother caused much shame

In their hearts.

So now forever they will be set apart.

They chose to place themselves on the other side

They and their kinship cast lots, upon the chosen

Now they freeze when HE had spoken.

 thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.

 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.

 “For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen. As thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

 For as ye have drunk upon My holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually; yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

 “But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
