Amos 1:3-5

Revised Standard Version

“For three transgressions of Damascus,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;^[a]
because they have threshed Gilead
    with threshing sledges of iron.
⁴ So I will send a fire upon the house of Haz′ael,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-ha′dad.
⁵ I will break the bar of Damascus,
    and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven,^[b]
and him that holds the scepter from Beth-eden;
    and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir,”
                says the Lord.
