The Prophet Amos 1:6-15 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

6. Thus hath the Lord said: For three transgressions of Gaza and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:

7. but I will send a fire in the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof.

8. And I will cut off the inhabitants of Ashdod and him that holds the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Palestinians shall perish, said the Lord GOD.

9. Thus hath the Lord said: For three transgressions of Tyre and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom and did not remember the brotherly covenant;

10. but I will send fire in the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces.

11. Thus hath the Lord said: For three transgressions of Edom and for the fourth, I will not convert her because she pursued her brother with the sword and cast off all mercy, and with her anger she stole from him perpetually, and she kept her wrath for ever:

12. but I will send fire in Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

13. Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for the fourth, I will not convert her because they have ripped off the mountains of Gilead that they might enlarge their border:

14. but I will kindle fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof as with shouting in the day of battle, as with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;

15. and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, said the Lord.
