Amos 1:6-7 LITV . . .So says Jehovah (יהוה): For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn back from it, for they deported as exiles to deliver up a complete population to Edom. (7) But I will send a fire against the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour its palaces.
Amos 1:6-7 GW . . .This is what the LORD (יהוה) says: Because Gaza has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime, I will not change my plans.

Amos 1:6-7 CEV . . .The LORD (יהוה) said: I will punish Philistia for countless crimes, and I won't change my mind. They dragged off my people from town after town to sell them as slaves to the Edomites. (7) That's why I will burn down the walls and fortresses of the city of Gaza.
