KJV ORIGINAL
But 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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
You shouldn't have just stood there watching when your brother was going through it. You definitely shouldn't have been happy when Judah's people were getting destroyed. And you had no business talking big when they were at their lowest point.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Don't celebrate someone else's downfall — especially when they're family.
