but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre,

and it will devour its palaces.”

11

The LORD says:

“For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four,

I will not turn away its punishment,

because he pursued his brother with the sword

and cast off all pity,

and his anger raged continually,

and he kept his wrath forever;

and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”

Selected verse

The LORD says:

“For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four,

I will not turn away its punishment,

because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,

that they may enlarge their border.

14

But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,

and it will devour its palaces,

with shouting in the day of battle,

with a storm in the day of the whirlwind;

15

and their king will go into captivity,

he and his princes together,”

says the LORD.
