Amos 1:3-5
English Standard Version
3 Thus says the Lord:
(A)“For three transgressions of (B)Damascus,
and for four, (C)I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have threshed (D)Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.
4 (E)So I will send a fire upon the house of (F)Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (G)Ben-hadad.
5 I will (H)break the gate-bar of (I)Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of (J)Aven,[b]
and him who holds the scepter from (K)Beth-eden;
and the people of (L)Syria shall go into exile to (M)Kir,”
says the Lord.

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)
