11–12God’s Message:

“Because of the three great sins of Edom

—make that four—I’m not putting up with her any longer.

She hunts down her brother to murder him.

She has no pity, she has no heart.

Her anger rampages day and night.

Her meanness never takes a time-out.

“For three transgressions of Edom,

NLTNew Living Translation

This is what the Lord says:

“The people of Edom have sinned again and again,

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:
