¹THE words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, 2 years before the earthquake. ²And he said: Yahvah will roar from Zion, and shout from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither.

³Thus says Yahvah: For 3 transgressions of Damascus, and for 4, I will not turn away its punishment, because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron; ⁴But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which will devour the palaces of Barhadad. ⁵I will also break the bars of Damascus and cut off the inhabitants from the plain of Aon and him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go into captivity to Kir, says Yahvah. ⁶Thus says Yahvah: For 3 transgressions of Gaza, and for 4, I will not turn away its punishment, because they carried away captive the whole population to deliver them up to Edom; ⁷But I will send a fire on the walls of Gaza, which will devour its palaces; ⁸And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines will perish, says Yahvah God. ⁹Thus says Yahvah: For 3 transgressions of Tyre, and for 4, I will not turn away its punishment, because they delivered up the whole population to Edom and did not remember the brotherly contract. ¹⁰But I will send a fire on the walls of Tyre, which will devour its palaces. ¹¹Thus says Yahvah: For 3 transgressions of Edom, and for 4, I will not turn away its punishment, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity and he kept his anger perpetually and he kept his wrath forever; ¹²But I will send a fire on Teman, which will devour the palaces of Bozrah. ¹³Thus says Yahvah: For 3 transgressions of the Ammonites, and for 4, I will not turn away the punishment from them, because they have ripped up pregnant women in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border; ¹⁴But I will kindle a fire in the streets of Rabbath, and it will devour its palaces, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind; ¹⁵And Malcom will go into captivity, he and his priests and his princes together, says Yahvah.
