6 This is what the Lord says:“Because Gaza has committed three crimes – make that four! – I will not revoke my decree of judgment.They deported a whole community and sold them to Edom.
7 So I will set Gaza’s city wall on fire;fire will consume her fortresses.
8 I will remove the ruler from Ashdod,the one who holds the royal scepter from Ashkelon.I will strike Ekron with my hand;the rest of the Philistines will also die.”The sovereign Lord has spoken!
9 This is what the Lord says:“Because Tyre has committed three crimes – make that four! – I will not revoke my decree of judgment.They sold a whole community to Edom;they failed to observe a treaty of brotherhood.
10 So I will set fire to Tyre’s city wall; fire will consume her fortresses.”
11 This is what the Lord says:“Because Edom has committed three crimes – make that four! – I will not revoke my decree of judgment.He chased his brother with a sword;he wiped out his allies.In his anger he tore them apart without stopping to rest;in his fury he relentlessly attacked them.
12 So I will set Teman on fire;fire will consume Bozrah’s fortresses.”
