I will (A)break the gate-bar of (B)Damascus,
    and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of (C)Aven,[a]
and him who holds the scepter from (D)Beth-eden;
    and the people of (E)Syria shall go into exile to (F)Kir,”
says the Lord.

Thus says the Lord:

(G)“For three transgressions of (H)Gaza,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (I)they carried into exile a whole people
    to deliver them up to Edom.
So I will send a fire upon the wall of (J)Gaza,
    and it shall devour her strongholds.
