Amos 1:3-5

Modern English Version

For three transgressions of Damascus,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they have threshed Gilead
    with threshing sledges of iron.
⁴ So I will send fire against the house of Hazael,
    and it will devour the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.
⁵ I will break the gate bar of Damascus;
    from the Valley of Aven I will cut off the one enthroned,
and from Beth Eden the one who holds the scepter.
    The people of Aram will go into captivity to Kir,
    says the Lord.
