Amos 1:1-3
New American Standard Bible 1995

Judgment on Neighbor Nations

2 He said,
“The (F)Lord roars from Zion
And from Jerusalem He utters His voice;
And the shepherds’ (G)pasture grounds mourn,
And the [b](H)summit of Carmel dries up.”

I will not [c]revoke its punishment,
Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.
