Amos 1:5-7
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
5 I will break down the gates[a](A) of Damascus.
I will cut off the ruler from the Valley of Aven,
and the one who wields the sceptre from Beth-eden.
The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir.(B)
The Lord has spoken.
6 The Lord says:
I will not relent from punishing Gaza(C)
for three crimes, even four,
because they exiled a whole community,
handing them over to Edom.
7 Therefore, I will send fire against the walls of Gaza,
and it will consume its citadels.
