阿摩司書1:3-4

1:3 耶和華如此說：大馬士革三番四次地犯罪，我必不免去她的刑罰；因為她以打糧食的鐵器打過基列。
1:4 我卻要降火在哈薛的家中，燒滅便哈達的宮殿。
1:5 我必折斷大馬士革的門閂，剪除亞文平原的居民和伯•伊甸掌權的。亞蘭人必被擄到吉珥。這是耶和華說的。

 This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Damascus,
    even for four, I will not relent.
Because she threshed Gilead
    with sledges having iron teeth,
I will send fire on the house of Hazael
    that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.
 I will break down the gate of Damascus;
    I will destroy the king who is in^[b] the Valley of Aven^[c]
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.
    The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,”
says the Lord.

    阿摩斯先知發預言攻擊亞蘭國，尤其是對她的首都大馬士革。因為大馬士革大馬士革三番四次地犯罪，所以上帝一定會懲罰他們。

    而這樣的預言也是提醒我們是犯罪的族類，上帝一定會追討的！
