Amos 1:6-8
Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 The Lord says:
I will not relent from punishing Gaza(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because they exiled a whole community,
handing them over to Edom.
7 Therefore, I will send fire against the walls of Gaza,
and it will consume its citadels.
8 I will cut off the ruler from Ashdod,(B)
and the one who wields the scepter from Ashkelon.(C)
I will also turn My hand against Ekron,
and the remainder of the Philistines(D) will perish.
The Lord God has spoken.
Zephaniah 2:4-6
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Judgment against the Nations
4 For Gaza will be abandoned,
and Ashkelon will become a ruin.
Ashdod will be driven out at noon,
and Ekron will be uprooted.(A)
5 Woe, inhabitants of the seacoast,
nation of the Cherethites
The word of the Lord is against you,
Canaan, land of the Philistines:
I will destroy you until there is no one left.
6 The seacoast will become pasturelands
with caves for shepherds and folds for sheep.
