devour the palaces of Benhadad.
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 the LORD. Amos 1:3-5 |

not hear the melody of thy viols.
5:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness
as a mighty stream.
