Amos 1:3-5

The Voice

³ Eternal One: For three crimes of Damascus,
        no for four, I have laid down My sentence and will not revoke it
    Because they have threshed the people of Gilead
        with threshing-sledges made of iron.
⁴     I will send down fire on the house of Hazael, the ruler in Damascus,
        and burn down the fortresses of Ben-hadad, his son and successor.
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.
