Amos said,

“The Lord will roar like a lion from Jerusalem.
    His loud voice will sound like a growl from Jerusalem.
The green pastures of the shepherds will become dry.
    Even Mount Carmel will dry up.”

Israel’s Neighbors Are Punished

The People of Aram

This is what the Lord says:

“For the many crimes Damascus is doing,
    I will punish them.
They beat the people of Gilead
    with threshing boards that had iron teeth.
So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael.
    That fire will destroy the strong towers of Ben-Hadad.

He said:

“The Lord roars(A) from Zion
    and thunders(B) from Jerusalem;(C)

    and the top of Carmel(D) withers.”(E)

Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors

This is what the Lord says:

“For three sins of Damascus,(F)
    even for four, I will not relent.(G)
Because she threshed Gilead
    with sledges having iron teeth,
I will send fire(H) on the house of Hazael(I)
    that will consume the fortresses(J) of Ben-Hadad.(K)
