Amos 1:6-8

New Century Version

“For the many crimes of Gaza,
    I will punish them.
They sold all the people of one area
    as slaves to Edom.
⁷ So I will send a fire on the walls of Gaza
    that will destroy the city’s strong buildings.
⁸ I will destroy the king of the city of Ashdod,
    as well as the leader of Ashkelon.
Then I will turn against the people of the city of Ekron,
    and the last of the Philistines will die,” says the Lord God.
