10. So I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,and it shall devour her strongholds.”

11. Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Edom,and for four, I will not revoke the punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever.

12. So I will send a fire upon Teman,and it shall devour the strongholds of Bozrah.”

13. Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites,and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead,that they might enlarge their border.

14. So I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour her strongholds,with shouting on the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
