The Eternal One roars from Zion;
    His voice thunders from Jerusalem.
The pastures shrivel and die beneath the shepherds’ feet,
    and the crest of Mount Carmel dries to dust as all await His judgment.

Eternal One: For three crimes of Damascus,
        no for four, I have laid down My sentence and will not revoke it
    Because they have threshed the people of Gilead
        with threshing-sledges made of iron.
    I will send down fire on the house of Hazael, the ruler in Damascus,
        and burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad, his son and successor.

    and the top of Carmel(D) withers.”(E)

Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Damascus,(F)
    even for four, I will not relent.(G)
Because she threshed Gilead
    with sledges having iron teeth,
I will send fire(H) on the house of Hazael(I)
    that will consume the fortresses(J) of Ben-Hadad.(K)
