Amos 1:5-7
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

5 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.

6 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.
7 So I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
    fire that shall devour its strongholds.
