Amos 1:5-7
Modern English Version

5 I will break the gate bar of Damascus;
    from the Valley of Aven I will cut off the one enthroned,
and from Beth Eden the one who holds the scepter.
    The people of Aram will go into captivity to Kir,
    says the Lord.

6 Thus says the Lord:

For three transgressions of Gaza,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they carried away into exile an entire deportation,
    to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send fire against the wall of Gaza,
    and it will devour its fortresses.

and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.(B)
    The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,(C)”
says the Lord.(D)

6 This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Gaza,(E)
    even for four, I will not relent.(F)
Because she took captive whole communities
    and sold them to Edom,(G)
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
    that will consume her fortresses.
