Amos 1:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

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.

⁹ The Lord says, ‘The people in Tyre have done more and more wrong things. So I will certainly punish them.

Before, they had been friends with the people in Israel. They had promised to those people, “We will be like brothers.” But the people from Tyre did not do what they had promised. They took my people away. They sold my people to the people in Edom and my people became slaves. ¹⁰ So I will start a fire on the walls of Tyre city. And the fire will burn all the strong buildings. It will destroy them completely.’
