Amos 1:3-5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
3 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.
4 So I will send a fire upon the house of Haz′ael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-ha′dad.
5 I will break the bar of Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven,[b]
and him that holds the scepter from Beth-e′den;
and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir,”
says the Lord.
