“For three transgressions of ^(A)Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his ^(B)brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.

“For three transgressions of ^(A)the people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.

“For three transgressions of ^(A)Israel, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because ^(B)they sell the righteous for silver,
And the ^(C)poor for a pair of sandals.
