Amos 1:5-7
Authorized (King James) Version

5 I will break also the bar of Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of Aven,
and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden:
and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir,
saith the Lord.

6 Thus saith the Lord;
For three transgressions of Gaza,
and for four,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they carried away captive the whole captivity,
to deliver them up to Edom:
7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
which shall devour the palaces thereof:

    The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,(C)”

“For three sins of Gaza,(E)

    that will consume her fortresses.
