Amos 1 9

The Lord says, ‘The people in Tyre have done more and more wrong things. So I will certainly punish them. Before, they had been friends with the people in Israel. They had promised to those people, “We will be like brothers.” But the people from Tyre did not do what they had promised. They took my people away. They sold my people to the people in Edom and my people became slaves.
