Amos 1:1-5

New International Version

“The Lord roars^(F) from Zion
    and thunders^(G) from Jerusalem;^(H)
the pastures of the shepherds dry up,
    and the top of Carmel^(I) withers.”^(J)

“For three sins of Damascus,^(K)
    even for four, I will not relent.^(L)
Because she threshed Gilead
    with sledges having iron teeth,
⁴ I will send fire^(M) on the house of Hazael^(N)
    that will consume the fortresses^(O) of Ben-Hadad.^(P)
5 I will break down the gate^(Q) of Damascus;
    I will destroy the king who is in^[b] the Valley of Aven^[c]
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.^(R)
    The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,^(S)”
says the Lord.^(T)
