Amos 1:1-3
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

1 The words of Amos, who was one of the sheep breeders[a](A) from Tekoa(B) – what he saw regarding Israel in the days of King Uzziah(C) of Judah and Jeroboam(D) son of Jehoash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.(E)

2 He said:

The Lord roars(F) from Zion
and makes his voice heard from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds mourn,[b](G)
and the summit of Carmel(H) withers.

Judgement on Israel’s Neighbours

3 The Lord says:

I will not relent from punishing Damascus(I)
for three crimes, even four,(J)
because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.
