New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Tyre
9 Thus says the Lord:
For three crimes of Tyre, and now four—
I will not take it back—
Because they handed over an entire population to Edom,
and did not remember their covenant of brotherhood,[a]
10 I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre,
and it will devour its strongholds.

For three crimes of Edom, and now four—
I will not take it back—
Because he pursued his brother[b] with the sword,
suppressing all pity,
Persisting in his anger,
his wrath raging without end,
