Amos 1:5-7
The Voice

5     I will smash the gates of Damascus,
        wipe out those who live in the valley of Aven.
    I will cut off the hand that holds the scepter in Beth-eden
        and force the people of Aram into exile in Kir.

So says the Eternal about Aram, Israel’s constant enemy to the northeast.

6 Eternal One: For three crimes of Gaza,
        no for four, I have laid down My sentence and will not revoke it
    Because they sent entire communities into exile,
        including women and children,
    Because they sold My people
        as slaves to Edom.
7     So I will send down fire on the wall that protects Gaza
        and burn down all of its fortifications.

5 I will break down the gate(A) of Damascus;
    I will destroy the king who is in[a] the Valley of Aven[b]
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.
