Amos 1:3-5
New King James Version
Judgment on the Nations
3 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)Damascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have (B)threshed Gilead with implements of iron.
4 (C)But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of (D)Ben-Hadad.
5 I will also break the gate (E)bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who [a]holds the scepter from [b]Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
Says the Lord.
Amos 1:3-5
King James Version
3 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.
5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord.

3 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“For three transgressions of (B)Damascus,
and for four, (C)I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have threshed (D)Gilead

4 (E)So I will send a fire upon the house of (F)Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (G)Ben-hadad.
5 I will (H)break the gate-bar of (I)Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of (J)Aven,[b]
and him who holds the scepter from (K)Beth-eden;
and the people of (L)Syria shall go into exile to (M)Kir,”
says the Lord.
