Amos 5:27

Damascus
Judgment

25 Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

26 You have taken along Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god, the idols you made for yourselves.

Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is the God of Hosts.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
