Amos 1:11–2:3

¹¹This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Edom,^g

even for four, I will not relent.

Because he pursued his brother with a sword^h

and slaughtered the women of the land,

because his anger raged continually

and his fury flamed unchecked,ⁱ

¹²I will send fire on Teman^j

that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.^k”

¹³This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Ammon,^l

even for four, I will not relent.

Because he ripped open the pregnant women^m of Gilead

in order to extend his borders,

¹⁴I will set fire to the walls of Rabbahⁿ

that will consume^o her fortresses

amid war cries^p on the day of battle,

amid violent winds^q on a stormy day.

¹⁵Her king^e will go into exile,

he and his officials together,^r”

says the Lord.^s

2This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Moab,^t

even for four, I will not relent.

Because he burned to ashes^u

the bones of Edom’s king,

²I will send fire on Moab

that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.^av

Moab will go down in great tumult

amid war cries^w and the blast of the trumpet.^x

³I will destroy her ruler^y

and kill all her officials with him,”^z

says the Lord.^a
