Amos 1:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ I will break the bars ⌞on the gates⌟ of Damascus.
I will cut off those living in Aven Valley
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.
The people of Aram will go into captivity at Kir.

Because Gaza has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,
I will not change my plans.
The Philistines have taken all the people captive
in order to hand them over to the Edomites.
⁷ I will send a fire on the walls of Gaza
and burn down its palaces.
