Amos 1:9

Amos 1:9 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

9This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Tyre,

even for four, I will not relent.

Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,

disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,

9¶This is what the Lord says:

“For three offenses of Tyre, and for four,

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they turned an entire population over to Edom

And did not remember the covenant of 1:9 Lit brothersbrotherhood.

9Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of Tyre and for four

I will not revoke its punishment,

Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom

And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.

9¶Thus says the Lord,

“For three transgressions of Tyre and for four (multiplied delinquencies)

I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,

Because they [as middlemen] deported an entire [Jewish] population to Edom

And did not [seriously] remember their covenant of brotherhood. [1 Kin 5:1, 12; 9:12, 13]

9This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of Tyre, even four,

I will not revoke My judgment,

because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom

and broke a covenant of brotherhood.

9The Lord says,

“The people of Tyre have sinned again and again.

So I will judge them.

They captured whole communities.

They sold them to Edom.

They did not honor the treaty

of friendship they had made.
