Amos 1:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible

2 And he said,

“[a](A)Yahweh roars from Zion
And from Jerusalem He gives forth His voice;
And the shepherds’ (B)pasture grounds mourn,
And the [b](C)top of Carmel dries up.”

3 Thus says Yahweh,

“For (D)three transgressions of (E)Damascus and for four
I will not turn back its punishment
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael,
And it will consume the citadels of (F)Ben-hadad.
