And did cast off all pity,

And his anger did tear perpetually,

And he kept his wrath for ever:

But I will send a fire upon Teman,

Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

 

Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of the children of Ammon,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead,

That they might enlarge their border:

But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah,

And it shall devour the palaces thereof,

With shouting in the day of battle,

With a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:

And their king shall go into captivity,

He and his princes together, saith the Lord.

 

Thus saith the Lord;

For three transgressions of Moab,

And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;

Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

But I will send a fire upon Moab,

And it shall devour the palaces of Kirioth:
