Amos 1:7-9
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
7 So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza which shall devour its strongholds.
8 And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn My hand against Ekron; and the rest of the Philistines [in Gath and the towns dependent on these four Philistine cities] shall perish, says the Lord God.(A)
9 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Tyre and for four [for multiplied delinquencies], I will not reverse the punishment of it or revoke My word concerning it, because they [as middlemen] delivered up a whole [Jewish] population to Edom and did not [seriously] remember their brotherly covenant.(B)

7 (A)But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
8 I will cut off the inhabitant (B)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (C)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (D)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”

“For three transgressions of (E)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,

And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
