The People of Edom

11 This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes of Edom,
    I will punish them.
They hunted down their relatives, the Israelites, with the sword,
    showing them no mercy.
They were angry all the time
    and kept on being very angry.
12 So I will send fire on the city of Teman
    that will even destroy the strong buildings of Bozrah.”[a]

The People of Ammon

13 This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes of Ammon,
    I will punish them.
They ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead
    so they could take over that land
    and make their own country larger.
