Amos 1:7

Gaza Will Be Judged For Its Crimes

⁶ The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Gaza
for three crimes, even four,
because they exiled a whole community,
handing them over to Edom.
⁷ Therefore, I will send fire against the walls of Gaza,
and it will consume its citadels.
⁸ I will cut off the ruler from Ashdod,
and the one who wields the scepter from Ashkelon.
I will also turn My hand against Ekron,
and the remainder of the Philistines will perish.
The Lord God has spoken.

Devour Its Palaces

Devour the Palaces

Send a Fire

Devour Its Strongholds
