Amos 1:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶     The Lord proclaims:
    For three crimes of Gaza,
        and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
    because they rounded up entire communities,
        to hand them over to Edom.
⁷     I will send down a fire on the wall of Gaza;
        it will devour Gaza’s palaces.
⁸     I will eliminate the people from Ashdod,
        the one who rules from Ashkelon.
    I will turn my hand against Ekron,
        and the Philistines who remain will perish,
says the Lord God.
