Amos 1:13 in context

  1. 11Yahweh 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;
  2. 12but I will send a fire on Teman,
    and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
  3. 13Yahweh 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.
  4. 14But 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;
  5. 15and their king will go into captivity,
    he and his princes together,”
    says Yahweh.
