Amos 1:3-13

3ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with threshingH1758 instruments of ironH1270. 4But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 into the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371, and it shall devourH398 the palaces of Ben-hadadH1130. 5And I will breakH7665 the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cutH3772 off the inhabitantH3427 from the valleyH1237 of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the houseH1004 of Eden; and the peopleH5971 of Syria shall goH1540 into captivity unto KirH7024, saith Jehovah.

6ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried awayH7725 captive the whole people, to deliverH5462 them up to EdomH123. 7But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, and it shall devourH398 the palaces thereof. 8And I will cutH3772 off the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdeth the sceptre from AshkelonH831; and I will turnH7725 my handH3027 against EkronH6138; and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.

9ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyreH6865, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they deliveredH5462 up the whole people to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherly covenantH1285. 10But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyreH6865, and it shall devourH398 the palaces thereof.

11ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast off all pity, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetually, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5703. 12But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon TemanH8487, and it shall devourH398 the palaces of BozrahH1224.

13ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the children of AmmonH5983, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of GileadH1568, that they may enlargeH7337 their borderH1366.
