Amos 1:5-7
World English Bible

5 I will break the bar of Damascus,
    and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven,
    and him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden;
    and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir,”

says Yahweh.

6 Yahweh says:

“For three transgressions of Gaza, yes, for four,
    I will not turn away its punishment;
    because they carried away captive the whole community,
    to deliver them up to Edom;
7 but I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza,
    and it will devour its palaces.

New International Version

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.
