Amos 1:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,^[a]
because they have threshed Gilead
    with threshing sledges of iron.^(A)
4 So I will send a fire on the house of Hazael,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.^(B)
5 I will break the gate bars of Damascus
    and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven
and the one who holds the scepter from Beth-eden,
    and the people of Aram shall go into exile to Kir,
            says the Lord.^(C)
