* The words of Amos , who was among the herdmen 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 , Jehovah roareth from Zion , and uttereth his voice from Jerusalem ; and the pastures of the shepherds mourn , and the top of Carmel withereth . * Thus saith Jehovah : For three transgressions of Damascus , and for four , I will not revoke [my sentence ], because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron . * And 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 him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-Eden ; and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir , saith Jehovah . * Thus saith Jehovah : For three transgressions of Gazah , and for four , I will not revoke its sentence ; because they carried away captive the whole captivity , to deliver [them ] up to Edom . * And I will send a fire on the wall of Gazah , and it shall devour the palaces thereof . * And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod , and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon , and I will turn my hand against Ekron ; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish , saith the Lord Jehovah . * Thus saith Jehovah : For three transgressions of Tyre , and for four , I will not revoke its sentence ; because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom , and remembered not the brotherly covenant . * And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre , and it shall devour the palaces thereof . * Thus saith Jehovah : For three transgressions of Edom , and for four , I will not revoke its sentence ; because he pursued his brother with the sword , and cast off all pity ; and his anger did tear continually , and he kept his wrath for ever . * And I will send a fire upon Teman , and it shall devour the palaces of Bozrah . * Thus saith Jehovah : For three transgressions of the children of Ammon , and for four , I will not revoke its sentence ; because they ripped up the women with child of Gilead , that they might enlarge their border . * And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah , and it shall devour the palaces thereof , 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 princes together , saith Jehovah .
