Amos 1:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,
says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Tyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[a]
because they delivered entire communities over to Edom,
and did not remember the covenant of kinship.
