Amos 1:6-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

Because Gaza has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,
I will not change my plans.
The Philistines have taken all the people captive
in order to hand them over to the Edomites.
⁷ I will send a fire on the walls of Gaza
and burn down its palaces.
⁸ I will cut off those living in Ashdod
and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my power against Ekron.
The rest of the Philistines will die.
