Amos 1:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
and it shall devour its strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod
and the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,
says the Lord God.(A)
9 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Tyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they delivered entire communities over to Edom
and did not remember the covenant of kinship.(B)
