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

    and it will devour its palaces.”

    “For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four,
    I will not turn away its punishment;

    and cast off all pity,
    and his anger raged continually,
    and he kept his wrath forever;
  4. 12but I will send a fire on Teman,
    and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
  5. 13Yahweh says:
    “For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four,

    that they may enlarge their border.
