3-5 God’s Message:“Because of the three great sins of Damascus—make that four—I’m not putting up with her any longer.She pounded Gilead to a pulp, pounded her senselesswith iron hammers and mauls.For that, I’m setting the palace of Hazael on fire.I’m torching Ben-hadad’s forts.I’m going to smash the Damascus gatesand banish the crime king who lives in Sin Valley,the vice boss who gives orders from Paradise Palace.The people of the land will be sent backto where they came from—to Kir.”God’s Decree.
