1 The words of Amos, who was one of the sheepbreeders from Tekoa, which he received in a vision concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 2 He said: The LORD roars from Zion, and raises his voice from Jerusalem; The pastures of the shepherds languish, and the summit of Carmel withers. 3 Thus says the LORD: For three crimes of Damascus, and now four— I will not take it back— Because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron, 4 I will send fire upon the house of Hazael, and it will devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.
