Amos 1:3-5
Thus says the Lord:“ For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, Because they have threshed Gilead with implements of iron.But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, Which shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad.I will also break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven, And the one who holds the scepter from Beth Eden. The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,” Says the Lord.

Jeremiah 49:23-27
Against Damascus.“ Hamath and Arpad are shamed, For they have heard bad news. They are fainthearted; There is trouble on the sea; It cannot be quiet.Damascus has grown feeble; She turns to flee, And fear has seized her. Anguish and sorrows have taken her like a woman in labor.Why is the city of praise not deserted, the city of My joy?Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, And all the men of war shall be cut off in that day,” says the Lord of hosts.“ I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, And it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.”

Jeremiah 23:33-38
“ So when these people or the prophet or the priest ask you, saying,‘ What is the oracle of the Lord?’ you shall then say to them,‘ What oracle?’ I will even forsake you,” says the Lord.“ And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say,‘ The oracle of the Lord!’ I will even punish that man and his house.Thus every one of you shall say to his neighbor, and every one to his brother,‘ What has the Lord answered?’ and,‘ What has the Lord spoken?’And the oracle of the Lord you shall mention no more. For every man’s word will be his oracle, for you have perverted the words of the living God, the Lord of hosts, our God.Thus you shall say to the prophet,‘ What has the Lord answered you?’ and,‘ What has the Lord spoken?’But since you say,‘ The oracle of the Lord!’ therefore thus says the Lord:‘ Because you say this word,“ The oracle of the Lord!” and I have sent to you, saying,“ Do not say,‘ The oracle of the Lord!’”

Isaiah 45:20-22
“ Assemble yourselves and come; Draw near together, You who have escaped from the nations. They have no knowledge, Who carry the wood of their carved image, And pray to a god that cannot save.Tell and bring forth your case; Yes, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from ancient time? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And there is no other God besides Me, A just God and a Savior; There is none besides Me.“ Look to Me, and be saved, All you ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.

The burden against Damascus.“ Behold, Damascus will cease from being a city, And it will be a ruinous heap.The cities of Aroer are forsaken; They will be for flocks Which lie down, and no one will make them afraid.The fortress also will cease from Ephraim, The kingdom from Damascus, And the remnant of Syria; They will be as the glory of the children of Israel,” Says the Lord of hosts.

Isaiah 9:8-21
The Lord sent a word against Jacob, And it has fallen on Israel.All the people will know— Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria— Who say in pride and arrogance of heart:“ The bricks have fallen down, But we will rebuild with hewn stones; The sycamores are cut down, But we will replace them with cedars.”Therefore the Lord shall set up The adversaries of Rezin against him, And spur his enemies on,The Syrians before and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with an open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, Nor do they seek the Lord of hosts.Therefore the Lord will cut off head and tail from Israel, Palm branch and bulrush in one day.The elder and honorable, he is the head; The prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed.Therefore the Lord will have no joy in their young men, Nor have mercy on their fatherless and widows; For everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, And every mouth speaks folly. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.For wickedness burns as the fire; It shall devour the briers and thorns, And kindle in the thickets of the forest; They shall mount up like rising smoke.Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts The land is burned up, And the people shall be as fuel for the fire; No man shall spare his brother.And he shall snatch on the right hand And be hungry; He shall devour on the left hand And not be satisfied; Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.Manasseh shall devour Ephraim, and Ephraim Manasseh; Together they shall be against Judah. For all this His anger is not turned away, But His hand is stretched out still.
