Amos 1:2-4

New Living Translation

“The Lord’s voice will roar from Zion
    and thunder from Jerusalem!
The lush pastures of the shepherds will dry up;
    the grass on Mount Carmel will wither and die.”

“The people of Damascus have sinned again and again,^[a]
    and I will not let them go unpunished!
They beat down my people in Gilead
    as grain is threshed with iron sledges.
⁴ So I will send down fire on King Hazael’s palace,
    and the fortresses of King Ben-hadad will be destroyed.
