This is what the Lord says:
“For (A)three offenses of (B)Damascus, and for four,
I will not [a]revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.
So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael,
And it will consume the citadels of (C)Ben-hadad.
I will also (D)break the gate bar of Damascus,
And eliminate every inhabitant from the [b]Valley of Aven,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden;
So the people of Aram will be exiled to (E)Kir,”
Says the Lord.
