Obadiah 1:13

Thou shouldest not have entered … looked … laid hands rather, enter not, look not, lay not hands.

The gate of my people i. e. the city of Jerusalem, comp. "he is come unto the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem." Micah 1:9. The emphatic "thou also," thou the brother as well as they the aliens, follows the word "look" in the Hebrew, though it is unnoticed in A.V., "look not thou also on his affliction." "If other neighbours do it, yet do thou abstain, seeing thou art of one blood. If thou canst not render assistance, at least shew some sign of sorrow and sympathy." Calvin.
