King James Version (KJV)
“In our prayers we talk to God, in our Bible study God talks to us, and we had better let God do most of the talking.”
— D.L. Moody
Scripture focus
Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
Amos 1:11 — KJV
His brother. Amos now proceeds to denounce the three nations related by blood to Israel — Edom, Ammon, and Moab. Edom, descended from Esau, was the most closely related and the most hostile. It is Edom’s unbrotherly attitude toward the descendants of Jacob, from the time of Esau till the time of Amos, rather than any specific acts, that the prophet condemns (Num. 20:14-21; cf. Deut. 2:2-8; 23:7; 2 Kings 8:20-22; 2 Chron. 28:16, 17). The whole prophecy of Obadiah is against Edom (see also Eze. 25:12-14; 35; Joel 3:19). It is bad to hate an enemy, worse to hate a friend, and still worse to hate a brother.
