Amos 1:8-10
New Century Version
8 I will destroy the king of the city of Ashdod,
as well as the leader of Ashkelon.
Then I will turn against the people of the city of Ekron,
and the last of the Philistines will die,” says the Lord God.
The People of Phoenicia
9 This is what the Lord says:
“For the many crimes of Tyre,
I will punish them.
They sold all the people of one area
as slaves to Edom,
and they forgot the agreement among relatives they had made with Israel.
10 So I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
that will destroy the city’s strong buildings.”
Amos 1:8-10
New King James Version
8 I will cut off the inhabitant (A)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (B)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (C)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (D)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,
Which shall devour its palaces.”
