Amos 1:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ Thus says the Lord,
“For ^(A)three transgressions of ^(B)Damascus and for four
I will not ^[a]revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
⁴ “So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael
And it will consume the citadels of ^(C)Ben-hadad.
⁵ “I will also ^(D)break the gate bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the ^[b]valley of Aven,
And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden;
So the people of Aram will go exiled to ^(E)Kir,”
Says the Lord.
