Amos 1:11–2:3

¹¹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his pursuing with a sword his brother, And he hath destroyed his mercies, And tear perpetually doth his anger, And his wrath—he hath kept it for ever, ¹²And I have sent a fire against Teman, And it hath consumed palaces of Bozrah. ¹³Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of their ripping up the pregnant ones of Gilead, To enlarge their border, ¹⁴And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Rabbah, And it hath consumed her palaces, With a shout in a day of battle, With a whirlwind in a day of hurricane, ¹⁵And gone hath their king in a removal, He and his heads together, said Jehovah!

Chapter 2

¹Thus said Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, And for four, I do not reverse it, Because of his burning the bones of the king of Edom to lime, ²And I have sent a fire against Moab, And it hath consumed the palaces of Kerioth, And dying with noise is Moab, With shouting, with voice of a trumpet. ³And I have cut off a judge from her midst, And all its heads I slay with him, said Jehovah.
