* The 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 , two years before the earthquake . * And he said , LORD will roar from Zion , and utter his voice from Jerusalem , and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn , and the top of Carmel shall wither . * Thus says LORD : For three transgressions of Damascus , yea , for four , I will not turn away the punishment of it , because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron . * But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael , and it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad . * And I will break the bar of Damascus , and cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven , and he who holds the scepter from the house of Eden , and the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir , says LORD . * Thus says LORD : For three transgressions of Gaza , yea , for four , I will not turn away the punishment of it , because they carried away captive the whole people , to deliver them up to Edom . * But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza , and it shall devour the palaces of it . * And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod , and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon . And I will turn my hand against Ekron , and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish , says lord LORD . * Thus says LORD : For three transgressions of Tyre , yea , for four , I will not turn away the punishment of it , because they delivered up the whole people to Edom , and did not remember the brotherly covenant . * But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre , and it shall devour the palaces of it . * Thus says LORD : For three transgressions of Edom , yea , for four , I will not turn away the punishment of it , because he pursued his brother with the sword , and cast off all pity . And his anger tore perpetually , and he kept his wrath * But I will send a fire upon Teman , and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah . * Thus says LORD : For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon , yea , for four , I will not turn away the punishment of it , because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead , that they may enlarge their border . * But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah , and it shall devour the palaces of it , with shouting in the day of battle , with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind . * And their king shall go into captivity , he and his rulers together , says LORD .
