This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Gaza,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
that will consume her fortresses.
8 I will destroy the king[a] of Ashdod
and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
till the last of the Philistines are dead,”
says the Sovereign Lord.
even for four, I will not relent.

9 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Tyre,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
that will consume her fortresses.”
even for four, I will not relent.

10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre

11 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Edom,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword
and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
and his fury flamed unchecked,
12 I will send fire on Teman
that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.”
even for four, I will not relent.

13 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Ammon,
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead
in order to extend his borders,
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah
that will consume her fortresses
amid war cries on the day of battle,
amid violent winds on a stormy day.
15 Her king[b] will go into exile,
he and his officials together,”
says the Lord.

從這段經文看見罪的影響力是充滿在列邦中，這也是人真實的狀況，所以人無法與上帝有正確和合宜的關係。
也因此上帝主動解決自己與他所愛的人的關係，透過他的愛子耶穌基督的作為，與人建立正確和合宜的關係，並且收納在基督裡的人成為她的兒女，並且要與基督同享勝利的榮耀。
因此，上帝既然讓我們透過耶穌基督，得以進入上帝的家，我們理當單單倚靠祂的大能作為，不要再嘗試用自己的方法。我們若不倚靠主耶穌，就是藐視祂，這更是得罪上帝。
