New King James Version

Amos 1:11-15 New King James Version (NKJV)

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

12. But I will send a fire upon Teman,Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”

13. Thus says the Lord:“For three transgressions of 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.

14. But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,And it shall devour its palaces,Amid shouting in the day of battle,And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.

15. Their king shall go into captivity,He and his princes together,”Says the Lord.
