耶和华如此说:“大马士革三番四次地犯罪,我必不免去他的刑罚,因为他以打粮食的铁器打过基列 我却要降火在哈薛的家中,烧灭便哈达的宫殿。 我必折断大马士革的门闩,剪除亚文平原的居民和伯伊甸掌权的,亚兰人必被掳到吉珥。”这是耶和华说的。

Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Damascus,(A)
    even for four, I will not relent.(B)
Because she threshed Gilead
    with sledges having iron teeth,
I will send fire(C) on the house of Hazael(D)
    that will consume the fortresses(E) of Ben-Hadad.(F)
I will break down the gate(G) of Damascus;
    I will destroy the king who is in[a] the Valley of Aven[b]
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.(H)
    The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,(I)
says the Lord.(J)

Judgment on the Nations

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.
(C)But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of (D)Ben-Hadad.
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.
