Amos 1:2-4
King James Version
2 And he said, The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.

3 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (C)Damascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have (D)threshed Gilead with implements of iron.
4 (E)But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of (F)Ben-Hadad.
Amos 1:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 And he said,
“The (A)Lord roars from Zion,
And from Jerusalem He utters His voice;
And the shepherds’ (B)pasture grounds mourn,
And the [a](C)summit of Carmel dries up.”
3 This is what the Lord says:
“For (D)three offenses of (E)Damascus, and for four,
I will not [b]revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael,
And it will consume the citadels of (F)Ben-hadad.
