Judgment of Yisrael’s neighbours

Amos 1:3—2:3

Syria

3This is what Yahweh says:

Even if Damascus was three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,

for the cruel things they did to the people of Gilead.[ref]

4I’ll send a fire into King Hazael’s house,

and it will devour King Ben-Hadad’s fortresses.

5I’ll smash the gate bars of Damascus

and eliminate the ruler of the Aven Valley,

and also the leader of Beth-Eden.

The people of Aram will go in captivity to Kir,”

says Yahweh.

Philistia

6This is what Yahweh says:

Even if Azzah (Gaza) was three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,

because they carried a whole people group away as captives,

to hand them over to Edom.[ref] 7I’ll send fire onto Azzah’s walls,

and it’ll devour her fortresses. 8I will cut off those from Ashdod

and the ruler of Ashkelon.

I’ll cause problems for Ekron,

and the rest of the Philistines will die,”

says Yahweh the master.

Tsor

9This is what Yahweh says:

Even if Tsor (Tyre) was three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,

because they handed a whole people group over to Edom,

and they didn’t take any notice of their brotherhood agreement.[ref]

10I’ll send fire onto Tsor’s walls,

and it’ll devour her fortresses.”

Edom

11This is what Yahweh says,

Even if Edom was three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,

because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity.

His anger raged continually,

and his rage lasted forever.[ref]

12I’ll send fire on Teyman,

and it’ll devour Botsrah’s fortresses.”

Ammon

13This is what Yahweh says,

Even if the Ammonites were three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away their punishment,

because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,

in order to grab territory.[ref]

14I’ll light a fire in Rabah’s walls,

and it’ll devour its fortresses,

with a shout in the day of battle,

with a storm in the day of the whirlwind.

15Their king will go into captivity along with his officials,”

says Yahweh.

Moab

2This is what Yahweh says:

Even if Moab was three or four sins below the threshold,

I wouldn’t turn away its punishment,

because he completely burnt up the bones of the Edom’s king.[ref]

2I’ll send fire on Moab,

and it will devour Keriot’s fortresses.

Moab will die in an uproar—

with shouting and the sound of the horn. 3I’ll wipe out her judge,

and I’ll kill all the leaders along with him,”

says Yahweh.

4Because Azzah (Gaza) will become abandoned,

and Ashkelon will become a ruin.

The people of Ashdod will be driven out by noon,

and Ekron will be overthrown.[ref]

5The inhabitants of the coastal region are to be pitied,

the nation of the Kerethites.

Yahweh’s decision is against you all,

Canaan, land of the Philistines.

I’ll destroy you until no one remains.

6The coastal region will become pastures of meadows for shepherds

and pens for flocks.

7The remaining survivors from Yehudah will inhabit that region.

They will shepherd their flocks on that land.

They’ll lie down in their houses in Ashkelon in the evening,

because their God Yahweh will visit them, and he’ll restore their fortune.

Then they’ll become a remnant for our God like a clan in Yehudah, and Ekron will end up like the Yebusites did.

9This is a declaration of Yahweh’s message concerning the Syrian Hadrak region and focussing on Damascus city, because the eyes of all humanity, including all of Israel’s tribes, are toward Yahweh.[ref] 2It’s also about the Hamat region which borders on Tsor (Tyre) and Tsidon (Sidon) which is very wise. 3Tsor has built herself a stronghold and heaped up silver like dust and refined gold like mud in the streets. 4Listen, my master will dispossess her and throw her wealth into the sea, and she’ll be consumed by fire.

Because if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Tsidon, they would have shown their turning from their sins by wearing coarse cloth and showering themselves with ashes. 22However, I’m telling you all that it will be more tolerable for the people of Tyre and Tsidon on judgement day than it will be for you.

Oba 1-14:

1This is the vision of Obadiah given by the master Yahweh concerning the Edom region:

We have heard from Yahweh and a messenger has been sent to the nations, telling them:

Get everything ready then go into battle against Edom.

2And Yahweh says to Edom:

Listen,

I will make you into an insignificant nation.

You’ll become utterly despised.

3Your inner pride has deceived you,

you who live on the rocky cliffs,

with your homes up there so high.

You say to yourselves that

no one can bring you down to the ground.

4If you go up high like an eagle,

even if your nest was up between the stars,

Yahweh declares that his command can bring you down from there.


5If it was thieves who came to destroy you in the night,

(and yes, you’re going to be destroyed)

they would only steal what they wanted.

Or if it was grape-pickers who came to you,

at least they’d leave behind the smaller grapes.

6How Esau’s descendants will be looted.

Their hidden treasures will be found and taken.

7Those who have treaties with you will force you to the border.

Those who talk about peace will deceive you.

Those who eat meals with you will set a trap for you.

You have no idea what’s about to hit you.


8Yahweh will make a declaration on that day.

The wise people of Edom will be destroyed.

Understanding will disappear from Esau’s hill.

9And you the city of Teyman, your warriors will be shattered,

so that everyone from Esau’s hill country will be slaughtered.

10Because of your violence against your brother Yacob’s descendants,

shame will overcome you,

and you’ll be destroyed forever.

11You just stood and watched on that day when strangers carried away their wealth.

When foreigners entered their gates and took possession of Yerushalem, you wished it was you doing that.

12You shouldn’t have gloated over your cousins on the day of their misfortune.

And you shouldn’t have celebrated about the destruction of the people of Yehudah.

You shouldn’t have bragged in their time of distress.

13You shouldn’t have gone into their city at the time of their calamity.

You shouldn’t have gloated—yes, you—over their misery in their time of disaster.

And you women shouldn’t have grabbed their wealth on the day of their catastrophe.

14You shouldn’t have stood at the crossroads to kill those trying to escape,[ref]

And you shouldn’t have handed-over any survivors that you’d captured in their time of trouble.

Mal 1:2-5:

2“I have loved you all,” says Yahweh, but you say, “How have you shown your love for us?”

“Wasn’t Esaw Yacob’s brother?” declares Yahweh. “Yet I’ve loved Yacob[ref] 3and rejected Esaw. I’ve turned the hills where Esaw lived into a wasteland and given his inheritance to the wild jackals.”

4If Esaw’s descendants in Edom say, “We’ve been crushed, but we’ll return and rebuild what was destroyed,” then army-commander Yahweh will say, “They might build, but I will tear down. Others will call them ‘The country of wickedness’ and ‘The people who Yahweh is forever angry with.’

5Your own eyes will see it, and you’ll say, ‘Yahweh is great even outside Israel’s borders.’ ”

As certain as I’m alive,

Moab will become like Sodom,

and the Ammonites like Gomorrah,

overrun by nettles and salt-pits—in ruins forever.

The remnant of my people will plunder them,

and the remainder of my nation will take possession of them.[ref]

10That will be the fruit of their pride,

because they mocked and talked themselves up

against the people of army commander Yahweh.

11The people of Moab and Ammon will be very scared when Yahweh punishes them.

He’ll do that so powerfully that people will stop worshipping all other gods.

People in every nation will worship Yahweh instead—each person in their own country.
