Amos’ Vision of Yahweh’s Fire

1 The words of Amos, who was among the (A)sheepherders from (B)Tekoa, which he beheld 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 And he said,

“[a](F)Yahweh roars from Zion
And from Jerusalem He gives forth His voice;
And the shepherds’ (G)pasture grounds mourn,
And the [b](H)top of Carmel dries up.”
