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.
