Amos 1:3-5
New King James Version
Judgment on the Nations
3 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (A)Damascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have (B)threshed Gilead with implements of iron.
4 (C)But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of (D)Ben-Hadad.
5 I will also break the gate (E)bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who [a]holds the scepter from [b]Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to 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)
