American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not {Or, revoke my word}turn away {Hebrew: it (and so in verse 6, 9, &c.).}the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.
But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off {Or, him that sitteth on the throne (and so in verse 8).}the inhabitant from the valley of {That is, Vanity.}Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from {Or, Beth-eden}the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.
The {Or, vampire}horseleach hath two daughters, {Or, called}crying, Give, give.There are three things that are never satisfied,Yea, four that say not, Enough:
The {Or, war-horse Hebrew: well girt (or, well knit) in the loins.}greyhound; the he-goat also;And the king {Or, when his army is with him}against whom there is no rising up.
