Amos 1:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ I will also break the strong gates of the city of Damascus. I will remove all the people who live in the Aven valley. I will remove the king of Beth-Eden. Their enemies will take the people of Syria far away to Kir as prisoners.’ That is what the Lord says.

⁶ The Lord says, ‘The people in Gaza have done more and more wrong things.^[a] So I will certainly punish them.

They caught my people and they took them away from their homes. They sold them to the people in Edom. ⁷ So I will send a fire to burn the walls of Gaza. It will destroy the strong buildings in Gaza.
