Amos 1:11–2:3

¹¹The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Edom ^y

for three crimes, even four,

because he pursued his brother with the sword. ^z

He stifled his compassion,

his anger tore at them ^acontinually,

and he harbored his rage incessantly.

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

and it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.

¹³The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing the Ammonites ^c

for three crimes, even four,

because they ripped open

the pregnant women of Gilead ^d

in order to enlarge their territory. ^e

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

and it will consume its citadels.

There will be shouting on the day of battle ^g

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

¹⁵Their king and his princes

will go into exile together. ⁱ

The Lord has spoken.

2The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Moab ^j

for three crimes, even four,

because he burned the bones

of the king of Edom to lime. ^k

²Therefore, I will send fire against Moab,

and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth. ^l

Moab will die with a tumult, ^m

with shouting and the sound of the ram’s horn.

³I will cut off the judge ⁿfrom the land

and kill all its officials ^owith him.

The Lord has spoken.
