Amos 1:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵I will break the gate-bars of Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven,
and the one who holds the sceptre from Beth-eden;
and the people of Aram shall go into exile to Kir,
says the Lord.

⁶Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Gaza,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;^[a]
because they carried into exile entire communities,
    to hand them over to Edom.
⁷So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
    fire that shall devour its strongholds.
