9Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyreH6865, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they delivered upH5462 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546 to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherlyH251 covenantH1285:6 10But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyreH6865, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
