Yahweh will punish Syria

3 This is also what Yahweh said to me:

“I will punish the people of Damascus, the capital of Syria, because of the many sins that they have committed;

I will not change my mind about punishing them [MTY],

because the cruel things that they did to the people of the Gilead region

were like [MET] people threshing grain using sledges that have ◄iron teeth/sharp iron nails► in them.

4 I will cause a fire to burn the palace that King Hazael built and lived in,

the fortress where his son King Ben-Hadad also lived.

5 I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken down;

I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley

and the one who rules in Beth Eden.

And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir region where they originally lived.”
