Amos 1:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 The Lord says:
I will not relent from punishing Gaza(A)
for three crimes, even four,
because they exiled a whole community,
handing them over to Edom.
7 Therefore, I will send fire against the walls of Gaza,
and it will consume its citadels.
8 I will cut off the ruler from Ashdod,(B)
and the one who wields the scepter from Ashkelon.(C)
I will also turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remainder of the Philistines(D) will perish.
The Lord God has spoken.
Amos 1:6-8
New International Version
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Gaza,(A)
even for four, I will not relent.(B)
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,(C)
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
that will consume her fortresses.
8 I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod(D)
and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand(E) against Ekron,
till the last of the Philistines(F) are dead,”(G)
says the Sovereign Lord.(H)
