1:10 So I will set fire to Tyre’s city wall; ¹ 

fire ²  will consume her fortresses.”

1:11 This is what the Lord says:

“Because Edom has committed three crimes ³  –

make that four! ⁴  – I will not revoke my decree of judgment. ⁵ 

He chased his brother ⁶  with a sword;

he wiped out his allies. ⁷ 

In his anger he tore them apart without stopping to rest; ⁸ 

in his fury he relentlessly attacked them. ⁹ 

1:12 So I will set Teman ¹⁰  on fire;

fire ¹¹  will consume Bozrah’s ¹²  fortresses.”

1:13 This is what the Lord says:

“Because the Ammonites have committed three crimes ¹³  –

make that four! ¹⁴  – I will not revoke my decree of judgment. ¹⁵ 

They ripped open Gilead’s pregnant women ¹⁶ 

so they could expand their territory.

1:14 So I will set fire to Rabbah’s ¹⁷  city wall; ¹⁸ 

fire ¹⁹  will consume her fortresses.

War cries will be heard on the day of battle; ²⁰ 

a strong gale will blow on the day of the windstorm. ²¹ 

1:15 Ammon’s ²²  king will be deported; ²³ 

he and his officials ²⁴  will be carried off ²⁵  together.”

The Lord has spoken!
