Amos 1:11-2:3

English Standard Version

¹¹Thus says the Lord:

^(A)“For three transgressions of ^(B)Edom,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
^(C)because he pursued his brother with the sword
    ^(D)and cast off all pity,
^(E)and his anger tore perpetually,
    ^(F)and he kept his wrath forever.
¹²So I will send a fire upon ^(G)Teman,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of ^(H)Bozrah.”

¹³Thus says the Lord:

^(I)“For three transgressions of the ^(J)Ammonites,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^(K)they have ripped open pregnant women in ^(L)Gilead,
    that they might enlarge their border.
¹⁴So I will kindle a fire in the wall of ^(M)Rabbah,
    ^(N)and it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
    ^(O)with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
¹⁵and ^(P)their king shall go into exile,
    he and his princes^[a] together,”
says the Lord.

2 Thus says the Lord:

^(Q)“For three transgressions of ^(R)Moab,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,^[b]
because ^(S)he burned to lime
    the bones of the king of Edom.
²So I will send a fire upon Moab,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of ^(T)Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
    amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
³^(U)I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
    and will kill ^(V)all its princes^[c] with him,”
says the Lord.
