3. This is what the Lord says: “I will definitely punish the people of Damascus for the many crimes they did. They crushed the people of Gilead with iron threshing tools.
4. So I will start a fire at Hazael’s house that will destroy the great palaces of Ben-Hadad.
5. “I will also break open the gates of Damascus and remove the one who sits on the throne in the Valley of Aven. I will remove the symbol of power from Beth Eden, and the Arameans will be defeated and taken back to Kir.” This is what the Lord said.
