Judgment on Neighbor Nations

1 The words of Amos, who was among the 1sheepherders from 2Tekoa, which he [a]envisioned in visions concerning Israel in the days of 3Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of 4Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the 5earthquake.
2 He said, "The 6LORD roars from Zion And from Jerusalem He utters His voice; And the shepherds' 7pasture grounds mourn, And the [b]8summit of Carmel dries up."
3 Thus says the LORD, "For 9three transgressions of 10Damascus and for four I will not [c]revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
4 "So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael And it will consume the citadels of 11Ben-hadad.
5 "I will also 12break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the [d]valley of Aven, And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden; So the people of Aram will go exiled to 13Kir," Says the LORD.
6 Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of 14Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To 15deliver it up to Edom.
7 "So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels.
8 "I will also cut off the inhabitant from 16Ashdod, And him who holds the scepter, from 17Ashkelon; I will even [e]unleash My [f]power upon Ekron, And the remnant of the 18Philistines will perish," Says the Lord [g]GOD.
9 Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of 19Tyre and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom And did not remember the covenant of [h]20brotherhood.
10 "So I will 21send fire upon the wall of Tyre And it will consume her citadels."
11 Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of 22Edom and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he 23pursued his brother with the sword, While he [i]stifled his compassion; His anger also 24tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever.
12 "So I will send fire upon 25Teman And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah."
13 Thus says the LORD, "For three transgressions of the sons of 26Ammon and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they 27ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead In order to 28enlarge their borders.
14 "So I will kindle a fire on the wall of 29Rabbah And it will consume her citadels Amid [j]30war cries on the day of battle, And a 31storm on the day of tempest.
15 "Their 32king will go into exile, He and his princes together," says the LORD.
