Amos 1:6 in Context — Amos 1
4 J’enverrai le feu dans la maison de Hazaël, Et il dévorera les palais de Ben-Hadad.
5 Je briserai les verrous de Damas, J’exterminerai de Bikath-Aven les habitants, Et de Beth-Éden celui qui tient le sceptre; Et le peuple de Syrie sera mené captif à Kir, dit l’Éternel.
6 Ainsi parle l’Éternel: A cause de trois crimes de Gaza, Même de quatre, je ne révoque pas mon arrêt, Parce qu’ils ont fait une foule de captifs pour les livrer à Édom.
7 J’enverrai le feu dans les murs de Gaza, Et il en dévorera les palais.
8 J’exterminerai d’Asdod les habitants, Et d’Askalon celui qui tient le sceptre; Je tournerai ma main contre Ékron, Et le reste des Philistins périra, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.
