Amos 1:3-13

³ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron; ⁴ but I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
and it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad. ⁵ I will break the bar of Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven,
and him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden;
and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir,”
says Yahweh. ⁶ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because they carried away captive the whole community,
to deliver them up to Edom; ⁷ but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
and it will devour its palaces. ⁸ I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
and I will turn my hand against Ekron;
and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,”
says the Lord Yahweh. ⁹ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Tyre, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because they delivered up the whole community to Edom,
and didn’t remember the brotherly covenant; ¹⁰ but I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre,
and it will devour its palaces.” ¹¹ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of Edom, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because he pursued his brother with the sword,
and cast off all pity,
and his anger raged continually,
and he kept his wrath forever; ¹² but I will send a fire on Teman,
and it will devour the palaces of Bozrah.” ¹³ Thus says Yahweh:

“For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yes, for four,
I will not turn away its punishment;
because they have ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,
that they may enlarge their border.
