New International Version

Amos 1:7-15 New International Version (NIV)

7. I will send fire on the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.

8. I will destroy the king of Ashdod and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines are dead,” says the Sovereign Lord.

9. This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Tyre, even for four, I will not relent. Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,

10. I will send fire on the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses.”

11. This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Edom, even for four, I will not relent. Because he pursued his brother with a sword and slaughtered the women of the land, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked,

12. I will send fire on Teman that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.”

13. This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not relent. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to extend his borders,

14. I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah that will consume her fortresses amid war cries on the day of battle, amid violent winds on a stormy day.

15. Her king will go into exile, he and his officials together,” says the Lord.
