Amos 1:1-3

International Standard Version

Amos is Called to Prophesy

1 The words of Amos,^[a] who was among the sheep breeders of Tekoa, which he spoke^[b] concerning Israel during the reign of^[c] Uzziah, king of Judah and during the reign of^[d] Joash’s son Jeroboam, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

²He said, “From Zion the Lord roars,
and from Jerusalem he shouts aloud.
The shepherds’ pastures will languish,
and Carmel’s summit will wither.”

A Warning to Damascus

³This is what the Lord says:

“For three transgressions of Damascus
    —and now for a fourth—
        I will not turn away;
because they have trampled down^[e] Gilead
    with ironclad threshing sleds.
