I will also (A)break the gate bar of Damascus,
And eliminate every inhabitant from the [a]Valley of Aven,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden;
So the people of Aram will be exiled to (B)Kir,”
Says the Lord.

This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (C)Gaza, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they led into exile an entire population
To (D)turn them over to Edom.
So I will send fire on the wall of Gaza
And it will consume her citadels.
