Amos 1:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Thus says Yahweh,
“For (A)three transgressions of (B)Damascus and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael,
And it will consume the citadels of (C)Ben-hadad.
5 I will also (D)break the gate bar of Damascus
And cut off the inhabitant from the [a]valley of Aven
And him who holds the scepter from Beth-eden;
So the people of Aram will go into exile to (E)Kir,”
Says Yahweh.

Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
3 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,
4 I will send fire(C) on the house of Hazael(D)
that will consume the fortresses(E) of Ben-Hadad.(F)
5 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)
