The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
AMO 1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour
the palaces thereof:
AMO 1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that
holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against
Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord
GOD.
AMO 1:9 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they
delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the
brotherly covenant:
