New Testament

Amos 1:4-9 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. I will send down fire on the house of Hazael;it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

5. I will break the fortified gates of Damascus,and eliminate the people from the Aven Valley,including the one who rules from Beth-eden;the people of Aram will be forced to live in Kir,says the Lord.

6. The Lord proclaims:For three crimes of Gaza,and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,because they rounded up entire communities,to hand them over to Edom.

7. I will send down a fire on the wall of Gaza;it will devour Gaza’s palaces.

8. I will eliminate the people from Ashdod,the one who rules from Ashkelon.I will turn my hand against Ekron,and the Philistines who remain will perish,says the Lord God.

9. The Lord proclaims:For three crimes of Tyre,and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,because they have delivered up entire communities over to Edom,and neglected their covenantal obligations.
