Amos 1:11–2:3

¹¹Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of ^aEdom and for four

I will not turn back its punishment

Because he ^bpursued his brother with the sword

While he corrupted his compassion;

And his anger also ^ctore continually,

And he kept his wrath forever.

¹²“So I will send fire upon ^aTeman,

And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.”

¹³Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of the sons of ^aAmmon and for four

I will not turn back its punishment

Because they ^bripped open the pregnant women of Gilead

In order to ^cenlarge their borders.

¹⁴“So I will kindle a fire on the wall of ^aRabbah,

And it will consume her citadels

Amid a ^bloud shout on the day of battle

And a ^cstorm on the day of tempest.

¹⁵“And their ^aking will go into exile,

He and his princes together,”

Says Yahweh.

CHAPTER 2

¹Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of ^aMoab and for four

I will not turn back its punishment

Because he ^bburned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.

²“So I will send fire upon Moab,

And it will consume the citadels of ^aKerioth;

And Moab will die amid great ^brumbling,

Amid a loud shout and the sound of a trumpet.

³“I will also cut off the ^1ajudge from her midst

And kill all her ^bprinces with him,” says Yahweh.
