Thus says the LORD:
“For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
[…]
And the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord GOD.
Amos 1:6-8
My prayer for the war in Israel is that it would end soon, with minimal civilian casualties; that the remaining hostages would be freed; and that the people of Gaza would never again be under the thumb of a brutal terrorist regime like Hamas.
