Amos 1:2-4
GOD’S WORD Translation

2 He said:

The Lord roars from Zion,
and his voice thunders from Jerusalem.
The pastures of the shepherds are turning brown,
and the top of ⌞Mount⌟ Carmel is dried up.

Damascus Will Be Judged for Its Crimes

3 This is what the Lord says:

Because Damascus has committed three crimes, and now a fourth crime,
I will not change my plans.
The Arameans have crushed ⌞the people of⌟ Gilead
with iron-spiked threshing [a] sledges.
4 I will send a fire on the house of Hazael
and burn down the palaces of Ben Hadad.
