Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;[a]
because they have threshed Gilead
    with threshing-sledges of iron.
So I will send a fire on the house of Hazael,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.
I will break the gate-bars of Damascus,
    and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven,
and the one who holds the sceptre from Beth-eden;
    and the people of Aram shall go into exile to Kir,
says the Lord.
