Bo kada phenel o RAJ, o Adonaj: Vašoda, hoj tapčinenas le vastenca, chučkerenas le pindrenca, asanas a radisaľonas andral calo jilo la phuvake Izrael,
What Does This Mean?
This verse from Ezekiel says that the Lord is angry because someone rejoiced at Israel's misfortune. The Lord is speaking and pointing out the wrong in rejoicing over another's downfall.
Explained for Children
Imagine if your friend was sad because they lost a toy, and instead of feeling bad, you clapped your hands and danced because you didn't like the toy either. That's what this verse is about. God doesn't like it when we're happy about someone else's trouble.
Historical Background
Ezekiel, a prophet, wrote this during the Babylonian exile, around 593-571 BC. He was speaking to the Edomites, who were Israel's neighbors and often their enemies, who celebrated Israel's downfall.
Living It Out Today
Today, if you find yourself feeling happy or excited when someone you don't like is in trouble, think about how this verse applies. Instead, we should show empathy and kindness, even to those we don't like.
