Amos 1:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 1:9

7 ^aBut I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.

8 I will cut off the inhabitant ^afrom Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will ^bturn My hand against Ekron,
And ^cthe remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.

9 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aTyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,
Which shall devour its palaces.”

11 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aEdom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his ^bbrother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.

12 But ^aI will send a fire upon Teman,
Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
