Judgment Against Canaan

This is what the Lord says:
    Because of three sins of Tyre,
    because of four, I will not hold back judgment,
    because they delivered over an entire population and exiled them to Edom,
    and they did not remember a treaty of brotherhood.
10 So I will send fire against the city wall of Tyre,
    and it will consume her citadels.

Judgment Against Edom

11 This is what the Lord says:
    Because of three sins of Edom,

    because he[a] pursued his brother with a sword,
    and he had no compassion.[b]
    His anger kept tearing Israel apart,
    and his fury raged without stopping.
