Amos 1:9
This 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.
Context
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.

10“So I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre
         And it will consume her citadels.”

11Thus says the LORD,
         “For three transgressions of Edom and for four
         I will not revoke its punishment,
         Because he pursued his brother with the sword,
         While he stifled his compassion;
         His anger also tore continually,
         And he maintained his fury forever.

12“So I will send fire upon Teman
         And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.”

13Thus says the LORD,
         “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for four
         I will not revoke its punishment,
         Because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead
         In order to enlarge their borders.

14“So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah
         And it will consume her citadels
         Amid war cries on the day of battle,
         And a storm on the day of tempest.

15“Their king will go into exile,
         He and his princes together,” says the LORD.
