Edom Will Be Judged For Its Crimes
11
The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because he pursued his brother with the sword.
He stifled his compassion,
his anger tore at them
and he harbored his rage incessantly.
and it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.
for three crimes, even four,
because they ripped open
the pregnant women of Gilead
in order to enlarge their territory.
