Amos 1:5-8

5And I will breakH7665 the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cutH3772 offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from the valleyH1237 of AvenH206, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the houseH1004 of EdenH5730: and the peopleH5971 of SyriaH758 shall goH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540 unto KirH7024, saith the LORDH3068.

6ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 they carriedH1540 awayH7725 captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 peopleH3808, to deliverH5462 them upH5921 to EdomH123:

7But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof:

8And I will cutH3772 offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdeth the sceptre from AshkelonH831; and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 againstH5921 EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saith the LordH136 GODH136.
