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.
So I will send a fire upon the house of Haz′ael,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-ha′dad.
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.
