* The words of Amos , who was among the herdmen of Tekoa , of which (words ) he had vision concerning Israel , in the days of Uzziah king of Judah , and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash , king of Israel , two years before the earthquake . * So then he said Yahweh , out of Zion , will roar , and , out of Jerusalem , will utter his voice , and the pastures of the shepherds , shall mourn , and the top of Carmel , be dried up . * Thus , saith Yahweh , Because of three transgressions of Damascus , and because of four , will I not turn it back , Because , with threshing instruments of iron , they have threshed Gilead . * Therefore will send a fire , into the house of Hazael , which shall devour the palaces of Ben - hadad ; * And I will break the bolt of Damascus , and cut off the inhabitant out of the plain of Aven , and the holder of the sceptre out of the house of Eden , and the people of Syria , shall be exiled , unto Kir , saith Yahweh . * Thus , saith Yahweh , Because of three transgressions of Gaza , and because of four , will I not turn it back , Because of their taking into exile the whole body of exiles , to deliver to Edom , * Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Gaza , which shall devour the palaces thereof ; * And I will cut off the inhabitant out of Ashdod , and the holder of the sceptre out of Ashkelon , and will turn my hand against Ekron , So shall perish the remnant of the Philistines , saith My Lord , Yahweh . * Thus , saith Yahweh , Because of three transgressions of Tyre , and because of four , will I not turn it back , Because of their delivering up the whole body of exiles to Edom , and they remembered not the brotherly covenant , * Therefore will I send a fire upon the wall of Tyre , which shall devour the palaces thereof . * Thus , saith Yahweh , Because of three transgressions of Edom , and because of four , will I not turn it back , Because he pursued , with the sword , his brother , and stifled his compassions , and his anger tare in pieces evermore , and , his indignation , kept watch perpetually , * Therefore will I send a fire into Teman , which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah . * Thus , saith Yahweh , Because of three transgressions of the sons of Ammon , and because of four , will I not turn it back , Because of their ripping up the pregnant women of Gilead , that they might enlarge their own boundary , * Therefore will I kindle a fire upon the wall of Rabbah , which shall devour the palaces thereof , with a war-cry in the day of battle , with tempest in the day of storm-wind ; * And Milcom shall go into exile , he and his rulers together , saith Yahweh .
