Seeker Overlay ON
*
The words of Amos which came to him in Accarim out of Thecue ,
which he saw concerning Jerusalem ,
in the days of Ozias king of Juda ,
and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel ,
two years before the earthquake .
*
And he said ,
The Lord has spoken out of Sion ,
and has uttered his voice out of Jerusalem ;
and the pastures of the shepherds have mourned ,
and the top of Carmel is dried up .
*
And the Lord said ,
For three sins of Damascus ,
and for four ,
I will not turn away from it ;
because they sawed with iron saws the women with child of the Galaadites .
*
And I will send a fire on the house of Azael ,
and it shall devour the foundations of the son of Ader .
*
And I will break to pieces the bars of Damascus ,
and will destroy the inhabitants out of the plain of On ,
and will cut in pieces (

For three transgressions of Tyre ,
and for four ,

and her kings shall go into captivity ,
their priests and their rulers together ,
