Amos 1:6-8

6Thus says the Lord, “For three transgressions of 1Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To 2deliver it up to Edom.7So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels.8I will also cut off the inhabitant from 3Ashdod, And him who holds the scepter, from 4Ashkelon; I will even 5unleash My 6power upon Ekron, And the remnant of the 7Philistines will perish,” Says the Lord 8God.
