Amos 1:5-7

New Living Translation

⁵ I will break down the gates of Damascus
    and slaughter the people in the valley of Aven.
I will destroy the ruler in Beth-eden,
    and the people of Aram will go as captives to Kir,”
    says the Lord.

“The people of Gaza have sinned again and again,
    and I will not let them go unpunished!
They sent whole villages into exile,
    selling them as slaves to Edom.
⁷ So I will send down fire on the walls of Gaza,
    and all its fortresses will be destroyed.
