Amos 1:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

Judgement on Israel’s Neighbours

²And he said:

The Lord roars from Zion,
and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds wither,
and the top of Carmel dries up.

³Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
    and for four, I will not revoke the punishment;^[a]
because they have threshed Gilead
    with threshing-sledges of iron.
⁴So I will send a fire on the house of Hazael,
    and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.
