I will also cut off the inhabitant from (A)Ashdod
And him who holds the scepter from (B)Ashkelon;
I will even turn My hand against Ekron,
And the remnant of the (C)Philistines will perish,”
Says Lord Yahweh.

Thus says Yahweh,

“For three transgressions of (D)Tyre and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they delivered up the whole community of exiles to Edom
And did not remember the covenant of [a](E)brotherhood.
10 So I will (F)send fire upon the wall of Tyre,
And it will consume her citadels.”

  1. Amos 1:9 Lit brothers

I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod(A)
    and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand(B) against Ekron,
    till the last of the Philistines(C) are dead,”(D)
says the Sovereign Lord.(E)

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Tyre,(F)
    even for four, I will not relent.(G)
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
    disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,(H)
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
    that will consume her fortresses.(I)
