² 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.

³ 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.
⁴     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.
