Amos 1:6-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. Thus saith Hashem: For shloshah peysha'im of Azah (Gaza), even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the golus shleimah (entire exiled population), to deliver them up to Edom;

7. But I will send an eish on the chomah (wall) of Azah (Gaza), which shall devour the fortresses thereof;

8. And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the shevet (sceptre) from Ashkelon, and I will turn Mine hand against Ekron; and the she'erit Pelishtim shall perish, saith Adonoi Hashem.

9. Thus saith Hashem: For shloshah peysha'im of Tzor, even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the golus shleimah to Edom, and remembered not the brit achim;

10. But I will send an eish on the chomah (wall) of Tzor, which shall devour the fortresses thereof.

11. Thus saith Hashem: For shloshah peysha'im of Edom, even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the cherev, and did cast off all rachamim, and his anger did rage perpetually, and he kept his wrath netzach;

12. But I will send an eish upon Teman, which shall devour the fortresses of Botzrah.

13. Thus saith Hashem: For shloshah peysha'im of the Bnei Ammon, even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped open the women with child of Gil`ad, that they might enlarge their border;

14. But I will kindle an eish in the chomah (wall) of Rabbah, and it shall devour the fortresses thereof, with war cries in the yom milchamah, with a tempest in the yom sufah (day of the storm);

15. And their melech shall go into golus, he and his sarim (princes) together, saith Hashem.
