TSK · Amos 1:7

I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!”

He defeated the Philistines as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

For God is the judge! He brings one down and exalts another.

I made Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and its officials drink it. I did it so Judah would become a ruin. I did it so Judah, its kings, and its officials would become an object of horror and of hissing scorn, an example used in curses. Such is already becoming the case!

So I will set Hazael’s house on fire; fire will consume Ben Hadad’s fortresses.

Ashkelon will see and be afraid; Gaza will be in great anguish, as will Ekron, for her hope will have been dried up. Gaza will lose her king, and Ashkelon will no longer be inhabited.
