Amos 1:6–15

6 Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of mGaza, and for four,

I will not turn away its punishment,

Because they took captive the whole captivity

To deliver them up to Edom.

7 nBut I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,

Which shall devour its palaces.

8 I will cut off the inhabitant ofrom Ashdod,

And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;

I will pturn My hand against Ekron,

And qthe remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”

Says the Lord God.

9 Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of rTyre, 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.”

11 Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of sEdom, and for four,

I will not turn away its punishment,

Because he pursued his tbrother with the sword,

And cast off all pity;

His anger tore perpetually,

And he kept his wrath forever.

12 But uI will send a fire upon Teman,

Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”

13 Thus says the Lord:

“For three transgressions of vthe people of Ammon, and for four,

I will not turn away its punishment,

Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,

That they might enlarge their territory.

14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of wRabbah,

And it shall devour its palaces,

xAmid shouting in the day of battle,

And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.

15 yTheir king shall go into captivity,

He and his princes together,”

Says the Lord.
