11 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Edom,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because he pursued his brother with the sword
    and cast off all pity;
he maintained his anger perpetually[b]
    and kept his wrath[c] forever.(A)
12 So I will send a fire on Teman,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Bozrah.(B)

    and his fury flamed unchecked,(C)
12 I will send fire on Teman(D)
    that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.(E)
