Amos 1:3-5

New Century Version

“For the many crimes of Damascus,
    I will punish them.
They drove over the people of Gilead
    with threshing boards that had iron teeth.
⁴ So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael
    that will destroy the strong towers of Ben-Hadad.
⁵ I will break down the bar of the gate to Damascus
    and destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven,
as well as the leader of Beth Eden.
    The people of Aram will be taken captive to the country of Kir,” says the Lord.
