“For three transgressions of aTyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
Which shall devour its palaces.”
“For three transgressions of aEdom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his bbrother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.
Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
“For three transgressions of athe people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.
And it shall devour its palaces,
bAmid shouting in the day of battle,
And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.

Pursue - Watched for, and laid hold on every occasion to oppress Israel. Did tear - As a ravenous and fierce lion tears the prey.
