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.

2 He said:
The Lord roars from Zion.
He shouts from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds wither,
and the top of Carmel dries up.
A word to Damascus
3 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Damascus,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because they have harvested Gilead
with sharp iron tools.
4 I will send down fire on the house of Hazael;
it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
5 I will break the fortified gates of Damascus,
and eliminate the people from the Aven Valley,
including the one who rules from Beth-eden;
the people of Aram will be forced to live in Kir,
says the Lord.
A word to Gaza and Ashdod
6 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Gaza,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because they rounded up entire communities,
to hand them over to Edom.
7 I will send down a fire on the wall of Gaza;
it will devour Gaza’s palaces.
8 I will eliminate the people from Ashdod,
the one who rules from Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the Philistines who remain will perish,
says the Lord God.
A word to Tyre
9 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Tyre,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because they have delivered up entire communities over to Edom,
and neglected their covenantal obligations.
10 So I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre;
it will devour their palaces.
A word to Edom
11 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Edom,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,

denied all compassion,
kept his anger alive,
and fueled his wrath forever.
12 So I will send a fire on Teman;
it will devour the fortresses of Bozrah.
A word to Ammon
13 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of the Ammonites,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gilead
in order to possess more land.
14 So I will start a fire at the wall of Rabbah;
the fire will devour its palaces,
with a war cry on the day of battle,
with strong wind on the day of the storm.
15 Then their king will be taken away,
he and his officials together,
says the Lord.
A word to Moab
2 The Lord proclaims:
For three crimes of Moab,
and for four, I won’t hold back the punishment,
because he burned to lime
the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send down a fire on Moab;
it will devour the palaces of Kerioth.
Moab will die in a great uproar,
with a war cry, with the sound of the ram’s horn.
3 I will remove their judge from them
and slay all their officials with him,
says the Lord.
