11 Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of Edom,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[a]
because he pursued his brother with the sword,
    and cast off all pity,
and his anger tore perpetually,
    and he kept his wrath[b] for ever.
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;[c]
because they have ripped up women with child in Gilead,
    that they might enlarge their border.
