Amos 1:6-8

6 Thus says the Lord:

^a“For three transgressions of ^bGaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because ^cthey carried into exile a whole people
to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send a fire upon the wall of ^dGaza,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from ^eAshdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”

says the Lord God.
