Our neighbors see what you did to us, and they mock us and laugh at us.

The surrounding nations insult us; they laugh at us and mock us.

Don't be glad when your enemies meet disaster, and don't rejoice when they stumble.

The LORD will know if you are gloating, and he will not like it; and then maybe he won't punish them.

People passing by the city look at you in scorn. They shake their heads and laugh at Jerusalem's ruins: "Is this that lovely city? Is this the pride of the world?"

The LORD has finally done what he threatened to do: He has destroyed us without mercy, as he warned us long ago. He gave our enemies victory, gave them joy at our downfall.

The Sovereign LORD said, "Because Moab has said that Judah is like all the other nations,

"Mortal man," he said, "this is what the people in the city of Tyre are cheering about. They shout, 'Jerusalem is shattered! Her commercial power is gone! She won't be our rival any more!'

"Now then, this is what I, the Sovereign LORD, am saying: I am your enemy, city of Tyre. I will bring many nations to attack you, and they will come like the waves of the sea.

just as you rejoiced at the devastation of Israel, my own possession. The mountains of Seir, yes, all the land of Edom, will be desolate. Then everyone will know that I am the LORD."

the Sovereign LORD, have for them: Israel's enemies gloated and said, 'Now those ancient hills are ours!'

So now listen to what I, the Sovereign LORD, say to you mountains and hills, to you brooks and valleys, to you places that were left in ruins, and to you deserted cities which were plundered and mocked by all the surrounding nations.

You should not have gloated over the misfortune of your relatives in Judah. You should not have been glad on the day of their ruin. You should not have laughed at them in their distress.

You should not have entered the city of my people to gloat over their suffering and to seize their riches on the day of their disaster.

Our enemies have no reason to gloat over us. We have fallen, but we will rise again. We are in darkness now, but the LORD will give us light.

Then our enemies will see this and be disgraced---the same enemies who taunted us by asking, "Where is the LORD your God?" We will see them defeated, trampled down like mud in the streets.

The LORD Almighty says, "I have heard the people of Moab and Ammon insulting and taunting my people, and boasting that they would seize their land.

That is how the people of Moab and Ammon will be punished for their pride and arrogance and for insulting the people of the LORD Almighty.

for God will judge you in the same way you judge others, and he will apply to you the same rules you apply to others.

The LORD says, "Just as a thief is disgraced when caught, so all you people of Israel will be disgraced---your kings and officials, your priests and prophets.

Then Jesus spoke to the crowd, "Did you have to come with swords and clubs to capture me, as though I were an outlaw? Every day I sat down and taught in the Temple, and you did not arrest me.

Then they crucified two bandits with Jesus, one on his right and the other on his left.
