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

And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;

And cthe remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.

“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.

Which shall devour its palaces.”

“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.”
