It underscores the authority and seriousness of the pronouncement. In the prophetic tradition, this formula is used to convey that the prophet is speaking on behalf of God, not from personal opinion.For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, This expression is a Hebrew idiom indicating a fullness or completeness of sin, suggesting that Tyre's sins are numerous and have reached a tipping point. Tyre was a prominent Phoenician city known for its wealth and trade. The repetition of "three... even four" is a rhetorical device used throughout Amos to emphasize the gravity of the offenses.I will not revoke My judgment, God's decision is firm and irreversible.

Historically, Edom and Israel had a contentious relationship, and Tyre's actions would have been seen as exacerbating this enmity.and broke a covenant of brotherhood. This phrase suggests that there was an agreement or understanding between Tyre and Israel that was violated. In the ancient Near East, covenants were serious commitments, often sealed with oaths and rituals. The breaking of such a covenant would be seen as a grave offense, not only against the other party but also against God, who is often invoked as a witness to covenants.
