Amos 1:11-13
International Children’s Bible
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]
The People of Ammon
13 This is what the Lord says:
“For the many crimes Ammon is doing,
I will punish them.
They ripped open the pregnant women in Gilead.
They did this so they could take over that land
and make their own country larger.
