“In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.”
The description of standing aloof on the day of distress when foreigners carried off wealth and aliens entered the gates and cast lots for Jerusalem indicates Edom's failure to aid Israel and instead profiting from Israel's misery. The neutrality in the face of calamity is judged as complicity in the evil.
