Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
1 [These are] the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders[fn] of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years[fn] before the earthquake, in the days [when] Uzziah [was] king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash[fn] [was] king of Israel.
2 He said: “The LORD roars from Zion and raises His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the summit of Carmel withers.”
3 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Damascus, even four, I will not revoke [My judgment],[fn] because they threshed Gilead with sledges of iron.
4 So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael to consume the citadels of Ben-hadad.
5 I will break down the gates of Damascus; I will cut off the ruler[fn] from the Valley of Aven[fn] and the one who wields the scepter in Beth-eden The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir,” says the LORD.
6 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Gaza, even four, I will not revoke [My judgment], because they exiled a whole population, delivering [them] up to Edom.
7 So I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza, to consume its citadels.
8 I will cut off the ruler of Ashdod and the one who wields the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn My hand against Ekron, and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,” says the Lord GOD.
9 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Tyre, even four, I will not revoke [My judgment], because they delivered up a whole congregation of exiles to Edom and broke a covenant of brotherhood.
10 So I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre to consume its citadels.”
11 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of Edom, even four, I will not revoke [My judgment], because he pursued his brother with the sword and stifled all compassion; his anger raged continually, and his fury flamed incessantly.
12 So I will send fire upon Teman to consume the citadels of Bozrah.”
13 This is what the LORD says: “For three transgressions of the Ammonites even four, I will not revoke [My judgment], because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their territory.
14 So I will kindle a fire in the walls of Rabbah to consume its citadels amid war cries on the day of battle and a violent wind on the day of tempest.
15 Their king will go into exile[fn]—he and his princes together,” says the LORD.
