1:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Damascus
<01834>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they have threshed
<01758> (8800)

Gilead
<01568>

with threshing instruments
<02742>

of iron
<01270>_:

{and...: or, yea, for four} {turn...: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}

1:4

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

into the house
<01004>

of Hazael
<02371>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Benhadad
<01130>_.

1:5

I will break
<07665> (8804)

also the bar
<01280>

of Damascus
<01834>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8689)

the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

from the plain
<01237>

of Aven
<0206>_,

and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)

the sceptre
<07626>

from the house
<01004>

of Eden
<05731> (8677) <01040>_:

and the people
<05971>

of Syria
<0758>

shall go into captivity
<01540> (8804)

unto Kir
<07024>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD

<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Gaza
<05804>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they carried away captive
<01540> (8687)

the whole
<08003>

captivity
<01546>_,

to deliver [them] up
<05462> (8687)

to Edom
<0123>_:

{away captive...: or, them away with an entire}

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

on the wall
<02346>

<05804>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

thereof:

1:8

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

from Ashdod
<0795>_,

and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)

the sceptre
<07626>

from Ashkelon
<0831>_,

and I will turn
<07725> (8689)

mine hand
<03027>

against Ekron
<06138>_:

and the remnant
<07611>

of the Philistines
<06430>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Tyrus
<06865>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they delivered up
<05462> (8687)

the whole
<08003>

captivity
<01546>

to Edom
<0123>_,

and remembered
<02142> (8804)

not the brotherly
<0251>

covenant
<01285>_:

{the brotherly...: Heb. the covenant of brethren}

1:10

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

<02346>

of Tyrus
<06865>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

thereof.

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue
<07291> (8800)

his brother
<0251>

with the sword
<02719>_,

and did cast off
<07843> (8765)

all pity
<07356>_,

and his anger
<0639>

did tear
<02963> (8799)

perpetually
<05703>_,

and he kept
<08104> (8804)

his wrath
<05678>

for ever
<05331>_:

{did cast...: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
