Amos 1

<< Amos 1 >>
New International Version 1984
 

9This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Tyre,

even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].

Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,

disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,

10I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre

that will consume her fortresses.”

11This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Edom,

even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].

Because he pursued his brother with a sword,

stifling all compassion,f

because his anger raged continually

and his fury flamed unchecked,

12I will send fire upon Teman

that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.”

13This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Ammon,

even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath].

Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead

in order to extend his borders,

14I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah

that will consume her fortresses

amid war cries on the day of battle,

amid violent winds on a stormy day.

15Her kingg will go into exile,

he and his officials together,”

says the Lord.
