Amos 1:1-3
Evangelical Heritage Version

1 The words of Amos, who was among the sheep breeders[a] from Tekoa. He saw a vision concerning Israel during the days of Uzziah king of Judah and during the days of Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

2 He said:
    The Lord roars from Zion.
    From Jerusalem he sends out his voice.
    The pastures of the shepherds dry up,[b]
    and the top of Mount Carmel withers.

Judgment Against Aram

3 This is what the Lord says:
    Because of three sins[c] of Damascus,
    because of four, I will not hold back judgment,
    because they cut up Gilead with iron threshing boards.[d]
