Amos 1:4-6
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 So I will send a fire on the house of Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.(A)
5 I will break the gate bars of Damascus
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven
and the one who holds the scepter from Beth-eden,
and the people of Aram shall go into exile to Kir,
says the Lord.(B)
6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Gaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they carried into exile entire communities,
to hand them over to Edom.(C)
