Amos 1:3-5
International Children’s Bible
Israel’s Neighbors Are Punished
The People of Aram
3 This is what the Lord says:
“For the many crimes Damascus is doing,
I will punish them.
They beat the people of Gilead
with threshing boards that had iron teeth.
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael.
That fire will destroy the strong towers of Ben-Hadad.
5 I will break down the gate of Damascus.
I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven.
I will also destroy the king of Beth Eden.
The people of Aram will be taken captive to the country of Kir,” says the Lord.
Amos 1:3-5
New International Version
Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
3 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Damascus,(A)
even for four, I will not relent.(B)
Because she threshed Gilead
with sledges having iron teeth,
4 I will send fire(C) on the house of Hazael(D)
that will consume the fortresses(E) of Ben-Hadad.(F)
5 I will break down the gate(G) of Damascus;
I will destroy the king who is in[a] the Valley of Aven[b]
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.(H)
The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,(I)”
says the Lord.(J)
