Amos 1:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 Amos said, ‘The Lord speaks loudly from Zion.[a] Yes, he shouts from Jerusalem. As a result, the green fields will become dry and the grass will die. There will be nothing for the sheep to eat. Even the grass on Mount Carmel mountain will die.’

God will punish the nations near Israel

3 The Lord says, ‘The people in Damascus have done more and more wrong things.[b] So I will certainly punish them!

They have been cruel to the people in Gilead. They used their iron weapons to tear them into pieces. 4 I will send a fire to destroy the palace that King Hazael built. It will destroy the strong buildings of King Ben-Hadad.

Footnotes

  1. 1:2 When we write Lord like this, it is a special name for God. Sometimes people write it as ‘Yahweh’, or as ‘Jehovah’. It is his own name that he told Moses. See Exodus 3:14. It means ‘I am who I am’. This shows that God has always been there and he always will be there.
  2. 1:3 Damascus was the most important city in Syria (also called Aram).
