Amos:1:3-2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So says the LORD :
For three transgressions of Damascus ,
yea for four ,
I will not turn away [
from ]
it ;
because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron .
*
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael ,
which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad .
*
I will also break the bar of Damascus ,
and cut off the dweller from the Valley of Aven ,
and from him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden .
And the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir ,
says the LORD .
*
So says the LORD :
For three transgressions of Gaza ,
yea for four ,
I will not turn away [
from ]
it ;
because they deported [
as ]
exiles to deliver up a complete [
population ]
to Edom .
*
But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza ,
which shall devour its palaces .
*
And I will cut off the people from Ashdod ,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon ,
and I will turn My hand against Ekron .
And the rest of the Philistines shall perish ,
says the Lord God .
*
So says the LORD :
For three transgressions of Tyre ,
yea for four ,
I will not turn away [
from ]
it .
Because they delivered up [
as ]
exiles a complete [
population ]
to Edom ,
and did not remember the brotherly covenant .
*
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre ,
which shall devour its palaces .
*
So says the LORD :
For three transgressions of Edom ,
yea for four ,
I will not turn away [
from ]
it .
Because he pursued his brother with the sword ,
and cast off all pities ,
and his anger tore without end ,
and he kept his wrath forever .
*
But I will send a fire upon Teman ,
which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah .
*
So says the LORD :
For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon ,
yea for four ,
I will not turn away [
from ]
it .
Because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gilead ,
to make their own border larger .
*
But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah ,
and it shall devour its palaces with shouting in the day of battle ,
with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind .
*
And their king shall go into captivity ,
he and his princes together ,
says the LORD .
