Amos 1:10-12
International Children’s Bible

10 So I will send fire on the walls of Tyre.
    That fire will destroy the city’s strong towers.”

The People of Edom

11 This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes Edom is doing,
    I will punish them.
They hunted down their brothers, the Israelites, with the sword.
    They showed them no mercy.
The people of Edom were continually angry.
    And they did not hold back their great anger.
12 So I will send fire on the city of Teman.
    That fire will even destroy the strong towers of Bozrah.”[a]
