11 Thus says Yahweh: "For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke [the punishment], because he pursued his brother with the sword! He stifled his compassion and his anger tore [them] apart {continually}, and he kept his rage forever.

12 So I will send a fire against Teman and it will devour the citadel fortresses of Bozrah."

13 Thus says Yahweh: "For three transgressions of Ammon and for four I will not revoke [the punishment], because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory!

15 And their king will go into exile, he and his commanders together," says Yahweh.
