Amos 1:11–2:3

¹¹The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Edom^u

for three crimes, even four,

because he pursued his brother with the sword.^v

He stifled his compassion,

his anger tore at him^w continually,

and he harbored his rage incessantly.

¹²Therefore, I will send fire against Teman,^x

and it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.

¹³The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing the Ammonites^y

for three crimes, even four,

because they ripped open

the pregnant women of Gilead^z

in order to enlarge their territory.^aa

¹⁴Therefore, I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah,^ab

and it will consume its citadels.

There will be shouting on the day of battle^ac

and a violent wind on the day of the storm.^ad

¹⁵Their king and his princes

will go into exile together.^ae

The Lord has spoken.

2The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Moab^a

for three crimes, even four,

because he burned the bones

of the king of Edom to lime.^b

²Therefore, I will send fire against Moab,

and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth.^c

Moab will die with a tumult,^d

with shouting and the sound of the trumpet.

³I will cut off the judge^e from the land

and kill all its officials^f with him.

The Lord has spoken.
