Amos 1:3–11

³Thus says the Lord,

“For ^athree transgressions of ^bDamascus and for four

I will not ¹revoke its punishment,

Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.

⁴“So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael

And it will consume the citadels of ^aBen-hadad.

⁵“I will also ^abreak the gate bar of Damascus,

And cut off the inhabitant from the ¹valley of Aven,

And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden;

So the people of Aram will go exiled to ^bKir,”

Says the Lord.

⁶Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of ^aGaza and for four

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they deported an entire population

To ^bdeliver it up to Edom.

⁷“So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza

And it will consume her citadels.

⁸“I will also cut off the inhabitant from ^aAshdod,

And him who holds the scepter, from ^bAshkelon;

I will even ¹unleash My ²power upon Ekron,

And the remnant of the ^cPhilistines will perish,”

Says the Lord ³God.

⁹Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of ^aTyre and for four

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom

And did not remember the covenant of ^1bbrotherhood.

¹⁰“So I will ^asend fire upon the wall of Tyre

And it will consume her citadels.”

¹¹Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of ^aEdom and for four

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because he ^bpursued his brother with the sword,

While he ¹stifled his compassion;

His anger also ^ctore continually,

And he maintained his fury forever.
