Amos 1:9-15 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Tyre,and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,because they delivered up an entire deportation to Edom,and did not remember the covenant of kinship.

10. So I will send fire against the wall of Tyre,and it will devour its fortresses.

11. Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Edom,and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,because he pursued his brother with the sword,and repressed all pity;his anger tore with no ceasing,and his wrath persisted with no end.

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

13. Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of the Ammonites,and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,in order to enlarge their border.

14. So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,and it will devour its fortresses,with a war cry on the day of battle,with a tempest on the day of the whirlwind.

15. Their king shall go into captivity,he and his princes together,says the Lord.
