Amos 1:3-5

3This is what the Lord says: “For 1three offenses of 2Damascus, and for four, I will not 3revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.4So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael, And it will consume the citadels of 4Ben-hadad.5I will also 5break the gate bar of Damascus, And eliminate every inhabitant from the 6Valley of Aven, As well as him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden; So the people of Aram will be exiled to 7Kir,” Says the Lord.
