This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment,* because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.

Context

1These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders * of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years * before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash * was king of Israel. 2He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.” 3This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke My judgment,* because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron. 4So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad. 5I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler * of the Valley of Aven * and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden. The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,” says the LORD.
