Amos 1:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴So I will send a fire on the house of Hazael,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.
⁵I 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.

⁶Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Gaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;^[a]
because they carried into exile entire communities,
to hand them over to Edom.
