Amos 1:11–2:3

^11*The Lord says, “The people of Edom have sinned again and again, and for this I will certainly punish them. They hunted down their relatives,^a the Israelites, and showed them no mercy. Their anger had no limits, and they never let it die. ^12*So I will send fire upon the city of Teman and burn down the fortresses of Bozrah.”

^13*The Lord says, “The people of Ammon have sinned again and again, and for this I will certainly punish them. In their wars for more territory they even ripped open pregnant women in Gilead. ^14*So I will send fire upon the city walls of Rabbah and burn down its fortresses. Then there will be shouts on the day of battle, and the fighting will rage like a storm. ^15*Their king and his officers will go into exile.”

2^*The Lord says, “The people of Moab have sinned again and again, and for this I will certainly punish them. They dishonoured the bones of the king of Edom by burning them to ashes. ^2*I will send fire upon the land of Moab and burn down the fortresses of Kerioth. The people of Moab will die in the noise of battle while soldiers are shouting and trumpets are sounding. ^3*I will kill the ruler of Moab and all the leaders of the land.”
