Amos 1:13 in Context — Amos 1
11 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: A cause de trois crimes d’Édom, Même de quatre, je ne révoque pas mon arrêt, Parce qu’il a poursuivi ses frères avec l’épée, En étouffant sa compassion, Parce que sa colère déchire toujours, Et qu’il garde éternellement sa fureur.
12 J’enverrai le feu dans Théman, Et il dévorera les palais de Botsra.
13 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: A cause de trois crimes des enfants d’Ammon, Même de quatre, je ne révoque pas mon arrêt, Parce qu’ils ont fendu le ventre des femmes enceintes de Galaad, Afin d’agrandir leur territoire.
14 J’allumerai le feu dans les murs de Rabba, Et il en dévorera les palais, Au milieu des cris de guerre au jour du combat, Au milieu de l’ouragan au jour de la tempête;
15 Et leur roi s’en ira en captivité, Lui, et ses chefs avec lui, dit l’Éternel.
