Amos 1:11-13
New Century Version
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.

Amos 1:11-13
New International Version
11 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Edom,(A)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword(B)
and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
and his fury flamed unchecked,(C)
12 I will send fire on Teman(D)
that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.(E)”
13 This is what the Lord says:
