Amos 1:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995
Judgment on Neighbor Nations
1 The words of Amos, who was among the (A)sheepherders from (B)Tekoa, which he [a]envisioned in visions concerning Israel in the days of (C)Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of (D)Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the (E)earthquake.
2 He said,
“The (F)Lord roars from Zion
And from Jerusalem He utters His voice;
And the shepherds’ (G)pasture grounds mourn,
And the [b](H)summit of Carmel dries up.”
3 Thus says the Lord,
“For (I)three transgressions of (J)Damascus and for four
I will not [c]revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
Amos 1:1-3

and thunders(G) from Jerusalem;(H)
the pastures of the shepherds dry up,
and the top of Carmel(I) withers.”(J)
