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

Thus 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.(B)
So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
    and it shall devour its strongholds.
