And the top of bCarmel withers.”
Judgment on the Nations
“For three transgressions of aDamascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have bthreshed Gilead with implements of iron.
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who1 holds the scepter from Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
Says the Lord.
“For three transgressions of aGaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will bturn My hand against Ekron,
And cthe remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
“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.
