Amos 1:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 That's why I will burn down
the walls and fortresses
of the city of Gaza.
8 I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod
and the ruler of Ashkelon.
I will strike down Ekron,[b]
and that will be the end
of the Philistines.
I, the Lord, have spoken!
Judgment on Phoenicia
9 (A) The Lord said:
I will punish Phoenicia[c]
for countless crimes,
and I won't change my mind.
They broke their treaty
and dragged off my people[d]
from town after town
to sell them as slaves
to the Edomites.
