Amos 1:2-4
English Standard Version
Judgment on Israel's Neighbors
2 And he said:
(A)“The Lord roars from Zion
and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
(B)the pastures of the shepherds mourn,
and the (C)top of (D)Carmel withers.”
3 Thus says the Lord:
(E)“For three transgressions of (F)Damascus,
and for four, (G)I will not revoke the punishment,[a]
because they have threshed (H)Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.
4 (I)So I will send a fire upon the house of (J)Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (K)Ben-hadad.

Amos 1:2-4
Tree of Life Version
2 He said:
Adonai roars from Zion,
From Jerusalem He gives His voice.
The shepherds’ pastures mourn,
and the top of Mount Carmel withers.
3 Thus says Adonai:
For three crimes of Damascus,
even for four, I will not relent.
For they threshed Gilead
with iron threshing sledges,
4 I will send fire into Hazael’s palace.
It will devour Ben-hadad’s citadels.
