Amos 1:6-8 - Gaza Will Be Judged For Its Crimes

⁶ Thus says the Lord,
“For three transgressions of Gaza and for four
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they deported an entire population
To deliver it up to Edom.
⁷ “So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza
And it will consume her citadels.
⁸ “I will also cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,
And him who holds the scepter, from Ashkelon;
I will even unleash My power upon Ekron,
And the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
Says the Lord God.
