Amos 1:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
2 And he said:
The Lord roars from Zion
and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds wither,
and the top of Carmel dries up.(A)
3 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have threshed Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.(B)
4 So I will send a fire on the house of Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.(C)
