God’s Message: "Because of the three great sins of Edom
—make that four—I’m not putting up with her any longer.
She hunts down her brother to murder him.
She has no pity, she has no heart.
Her anger rampages day and night.
Her meanness never takes a timeout.
For that, I’m burning down her capital, Teman,
burning up the forts of Bozrah."

Amos 1:11 - Additional Comments
Edom was south of the Dead Sea, about 35 miles. Edom was the tribe which came from Esau, brother of Jacob. They were perpetual enemies of Israel. They were merciless and hateful in their dealings with Israel.
They are being reproved for a revengeful spirit. Like Gaza and Tyre, God will destroy the Edom cities of Teman and Bozrah.
