A Warning to Tyre

This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of Tyre
    —and now for a fourth—
        I will not turn away;
because they delivered the entire population to Edom,
    and did not remember their covenant with their relatives.[a]
10 So I will send down fire upon the wall of Tyre,
    and it will devour their fortified citadels.”

A Warning to Edom

11 This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of Edom
    —and now for a fourth—
        I will not turn away;
because he[b] pursued his brother with a sword,
    refusing to be compassionate.[c]
His anger was raging[d] continuously;
    he kept up his unending wrath.
