Therefore, I will send fire against Hazael’s palace,
and it will consume Ben-hadad’s(A) citadels.
I will break down the gates[a](B) of Damascus.
I will cut off the ruler from the Valley of Aven,
and the one who wields the scepter from Beth-eden.
The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir.(C)
The Lord has spoken.

The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Gaza(D)
for three crimes, even four,
because they exiled a whole community,
handing them over to Edom.
