Amos 1:3-5

New Living Translation

“The people of Damascus have sinned again and again,^[a]
    and I will not let them go unpunished!
They beat down my people in Gilead
    as grain is threshed with iron sledges.
⁴ So I will send down fire on King Hazael’s palace,
    and the fortresses of King Ben-hadad will be destroyed.
⁵ I will break down the gates of Damascus
    and slaughter the people in the valley of Aven.
I will destroy the ruler in Beth-eden,
    and the people of Aram will go as captives to Kir,”
    says the Lord.
