But you should not have looked down on the day of your brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
All Commentaries on Obadiah 1:12 Go To Obadiah 1
Richard Challoner
AD 1781
Thou shalt not look: or, thou shouldst not, etc. It is a reprehension for what they had done, and at the same time a declaration that these things should not pass unpunished.
Thou shalt not magnify thy mouth: That is, thou shalt not speak arrogantly against the children of Juda as insulting them in their distress.
