Edom Will Be Judged for Its Crimes

11This is what the Lord says: 

Because Edom has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime, 

I will not change my plans. 

The Edomites pursued their relatives with swords. 

They refused to show any compassion to them. 

Their anger was unstoppable. 

They refused to control their fury.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Edom,

and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,

because he pursued his brother with the sword

and cast off all pity,

and his anger tore perpetually,

and he kept his wrath forever.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Edom,

even for four, I will not relent.

Because he pursued his brother with a sword

and slaughtered the women of the land,

because his anger raged continually

and his fury flamed unchecked,

CSBChristian Standard Bible

He stifled his compassion,

his anger tore at him continually,

and he harbored his rage incessantly.

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says:

“The people of Edom have sinned again and again,

and I will not let them go unpunished!

showing them no mercy.

In their rage, they slashed them continually

and were unrelenting in their anger.

KJV 1900King James Version

Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of Edom,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because he did pursue his brother with the sword,

And did cast off all pity,

And his anger did tear perpetually,

And he kept his wrath for ever:
