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;
he maintained his anger perpetually,[b]
    and kept his wrath[c] forever.
12 So I will send a fire on 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;[d]
because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead
    in order to enlarge their territory.
