Amos 1:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸ I will destroy the king^[a] of Ashdod
    and the ruler of Ashkelon.
I will strike down Ekron,^[b]
and that will be the end
    of the Philistines.
I, the Lord, have spoken!

I will punish Phoenicia^[c]
for countless crimes,
    and I won't change my mind.
They broke their treaty
and dragged off my people^[d]
    from town after town
to sell them as slaves
    to the Edomites.
¹⁰ That's why I will send flames
to burn down the city of Tyre
    along with its fortresses.
