For Three Transgressions — Amos 1:3–5

Thus saith Jehovah:

For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.

But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.
