Amos 1:6-8

EasyEnglish Bible

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. ⁸ I will remove the king of Ashdod city. And I will remove the king who rules in Ashkelon city. I will punish the people who live in Ekron city. All the Philistines who remain will die.’ That is what the Lord God says.
