1:8 I will remove the ruler from Ashdod,
the one who holds the royal scepter from Ashkelon.
I will strike Ekron with my hand;
the rest of the Philistines will also die.”
The sovereign Lord has spoken!
3:1 Listen, you Israelites, to this message which the Lord is proclaiming against you! This message is for the entire clan I brought up from the land of Egypt:
4:8 People from two or three cities staggered into one city to get water,
but remained thirsty.
Still you did not come back to me.”
The Lord is speaking!
5:27 and I will drive you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord.
He is called the God who commands armies!
7:5 I said, “Sovereign Lord, stop!
How can Jacob survive?
He is too weak!”
8:3 The women singing in the temple will wail in that day.”
The sovereign Lord is speaking.
“There will be many corpses littered everywhere! Be quiet!”
8:9 In that day,” says the sovereign Lord, “I will make the sun set at noon,
and make the earth dark in the middle of the day.
8:12 People will stagger from sea to sea,
and from the north around to the east.
They will wander about looking for a revelation from the Lord,
but they will not find any.
9:12 As a result they will conquer those left in Edom
and all the nations subject to my rule.”
The Lord, who is about to do this, is speaking!
