You should not have gloated when your relatives suffered calamity. You should not have rejoiced over the people of Judah when they were destroyed. You should not have boasted when they suffered adversity.

You should not have entered the city of my people when they experienced distress. You should not have joined in gloating over their misfortune when they suffered distress. You should not have looted their wealth when they endured distress.

The day you begin cultivating, you do what you can to make it grow; the morning you begin planting, you do what you can to make it sprout. Yet the harvest will disappear in the day of disease and incurable pain.

So I will set fire to Rabbah’s city wall; fire will consume her fortresses. War cries will be heard on the day of battle; a strong gale will blow on the day of the windstorm.

So that same day Esau made his way back to Seir.

So the people rested on the seventh day.

A flood will carry off his house, rushing waters on the day of God’s wrath.

Pray to me when you are in trouble! I will deliver you, and you will honor me!”

In my time of trouble I cry out to you, for you will answer me.

Seven times a day I praise you because of your just regulations.

When I cried out for help, you answered me. You made me bold and energized me.

If you faint in the day of trouble, your strength is small!

When that time comes, sing about a delightful vineyard!

You came near on the day I called to you; you said, “Do not fear!”

By the seventh day God finished the work that he had been doing, and he ceased on the seventh day all the work that he had been doing.

Each Sabbath day Aaron must arrange it before the Lord continually; this portion is from the Israelites as a perpetual covenant.

“‘If anyone dies very suddenly beside him and he defiles his consecrated head, then he must shave his head on the day of his purification – on the seventh day he must shave it.

He must purify himself with water on the third day and on the seventh day, and so will be clean. But if he does not purify himself on the third day and the seventh day, then he will not be clean.

And the clean person must sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he must purify him, and then he must wash his clothes, and bathe in water, and he will be clean in the evening.

That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they annihilated it just as they had done to Lachish.
