Amos 1:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Gaza,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;^[a]
because they carried into exile entire communities,
    to hand them over to Edom.
⁷ So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
    fire that shall devour its strongholds.
⁸ I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod,
    and the one who holds the sceptre from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
    and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,
says the Lord God.
