But don’t look down on your brother in the day of his disaster, and don’t rejoice over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. Don’t speak proudly in the day of distress.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 12. Thou shalt not look, and so forth or thou shouldst not, and so forth It is a reprehension for what they had done, and at the same time a declaration that these things should not pass unpunished. Challoner.—God admonishes, and at the same time insinuates that the Idumeans would act quite the reverse. Worthington.—Magnify. Literally, thou shalt not speak arrogantly against the children of Juda, as insulting them in their distress, ( Challoner.) like people mocking. When they shall be themselves afflicted, they shall cease to upbraid the Jews. Calmet.
