1:2 And he said, 
will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the
habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
1:3 Thus saith ; For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not
turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing
instruments of iron:
1:4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
1:5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain 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 .
1:6 Thus saith ; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn
away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to
deliver them up to Edom:
1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre
from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines

cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
1:12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
1:13 Thus saith ; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with
child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
1:14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
1:15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith .
