Amos 1:2-2:3
New American Standard Bible
2 And he said,
“The (A)Lord roars from Zion,
And from Jerusalem He utters His voice;
And the shepherds’ (B)pasture grounds mourn,
And the [a](C)summit of Carmel dries up.”
3 This is what the Lord says:
“For (D)three offenses of (E)Damascus, and for four,
I will not [b]revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael,
And it will consume the citadels of (F)Ben-hadad.
5 I will also (G)break the gate bar of Damascus,
And eliminate every inhabitant from the [c]Valley of Aven,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden;
So the people of Aram will be exiled to (H)Kir,”
Says the Lord.
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (I)Gaza, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they led into exile an entire population
To (J)turn them over to Edom.
7 So I will send fire on the wall of Gaza
And it will consume her citadels.
8 I will also eliminate every inhabitant from (K)Ashdod,
As well as him who holds the scepter, from (L)Ashkelon;
And I will direct My [d]power against Ekron,
And the remnant of the (M)Philistines will perish,”
Says the Lord [e]God.
9 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (N)Tyre, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they turned an entire population over to Edom
And did not remember the covenant of [f](O)brotherhood.
10 So I will (P)send fire on the wall of Tyre,
And it will consume her citadels.”
11 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (Q)Edom, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because he (R)pursued his brother with the sword
And stifled his compassion;
His anger also (S)tore continually,
And he maintained his fury forever.
12 So I will send fire upon (T)Teman
And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
13 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of the sons of (U)Ammon, and for four,
I will not revoke its punishment,
Because they (V)ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead
In order to (W)enlarge their borders.
14 So I will kindle a fire on the wall of (X)Rabbah,
And it will consume her citadels
Amid [g](Y)war cries on the day of battle,
And amid a (Z)storm on the day of tempest.
15 Their (AA)king will go into exile,
He and his princes together,” says the Lord.
Judgment on Moab
2 This is what the Lord says:
“For three offenses of (AB)Moab, and for four,
I will not [h]revoke its punishment,
Because he (AC)burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime.
2 So I will send fire upon Moab
And it will consume the citadels of (AD)Kerioth;
And Moab will die amid the (AE)panic of battle,
Amid war cries and the sound of a trumpet.
3 I will also eliminate the [i](AF)judge from her midst
And slay all her (AG)leaders with him,” says the Lord.

Amos 1:2-2:3
American Standard Version
2 And he said, Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the [a]pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea, for four, I will not [b]turn away [c]the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron. 4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 5 And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off [d]the inhabitant from the valley of [e]Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from [f]the house of Eden; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith Jehovah.
6 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive [g]the whole people, to deliver them up to Edom. 7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. 8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord Jehovah.
9 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up [h]the whole people to Edom, and remembered not [i]the brotherly covenant. 10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour the palaces thereof.
11 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and [j]did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever. 12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they may enlarge their border. 14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind; 15 and their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith Jehovah.
2 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime. 2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet; 3 and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah.
