Amos 1:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁶ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Gaza,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,^[a]
because they carried into exile entire communities,
    to hand them over to Edom.^(A)
7 So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
    and it shall devour its strongholds.
⁸ I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod
    and the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
    and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,
            says the Lord God.^(B)
