Amos 1:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ I will break the gate bars of Damascus and I will cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven and the one who takes hold of the scepter of Beth Eden, and the people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,” says Yahweh.

⁶ Thus says Yahweh: “For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke the punishment,^[a] because they exiled a whole community, handing them over to Edom! ⁷ So I will send a fire against the wall of Gaza and it will devour its citadel fortresses.
