Joel 4:16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 The Lord roars from Zion,
and from Jerusalem raises his voice,(A)
The heavens and the earth quake,
but the Lord will be a shelter for his people,
a fortress for the people of Israel.
Amos 1:2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 He said:
The Lord roars from Zion,[a]
and raises his voice from Jerusalem;
The pastures of the shepherds languish,
and the summit of Carmel withers.(A)
Footnotes
- 1:2 Significantly, the roar comes to the Northern Kingdom from Jerusalem. This verse, perhaps an editorial remark, sets the tone of Amos’s message.
