Amos.
1.
This is the message that  Yahweh gave to  me, Amos. I am a ◄shepherd/man who takes care of sheep►. I am from  near Tekoa  town south of Jerusalem. I received this message about Israel in a vision two years before the  big earthquake. It was when Uzziah was the king of Judah, and Jeroboam, the son of  King Jehoash, was the king of Israel. 
This is what Yahweh said: “I will roar  like a lion MET; when I speak from Zion  Hill in Jerusalem DOU, my voice will  resemble the sound of thunder.  When that happens, the pastures where you shepherds  take care of your sheep will dry up, and  the grass on top of Carmel  Mountain will ◄wither/become brown►  because I will cause that no rain will fall.” 
This is  also what Yahweh said  to me: “ I will punish the people of Damascus,  the capital of Syria, because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not  change my mind about punishing them MTY, because  the cruel things that they did to the people of the Gilead  region  were like MET people threshing grain using sledges  that have ◄iron teeth/sharp iron nails► in them. 
I will cause a fire to burn the palace  that King Hazael  built and lived in, the fortress where  his son King Ben-Hadad  also lived. 
I will cause the gates of Damascus to be broken  down; I will get rid of the king who rules in Aven Valley and the one who rules in Beth Eden. And the people of Syria will be captured and taken to the Kir  region where they originally lived.” 
Yahweh  also said this  to me: “ I will punish the people of the cities in Philistia:  I will punish the people of Gaza  city because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they captured large groups of people and took them to Edom and sold them to become the slaves of  the people of Edom. 
I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Gaza and  also destroy its fortresses. 
I will get rid of the king of Ashdod  city and the king who rules MTY in Ashkelon  city. I will  also strike/punish  the people of Ekron  city, and  all the people of Philistia who are still alive will be killed.” 
Yahweh  also said this  to me: “ I will punish the people of Tyre  city because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they  also captured large groups of our people and took them to Edom, disregarding the treaty of friendship that they had made  with your rulers. 
So I will cause a fire to completely burn the walls of Tyre and  also destroy its fortresses.” 
Yahweh  also said this  to me: “I will punish  the people of Edom because of the many sins that they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because they pursued the people  of Israel, who descended from Esau’s  brother Jacob, and killed them with swords; they did not act mercifully toward them at all. They were extremely angry  with the people of Israel, and they continued to be angry  with them. 
I will cause a fire to burn Teman  district in Edom and completely burn the fortresses of Bozrah,  the biggest city in Edom.” 
Yahweh  also said this  to me: “I will punish  the people of Ammon because of the many sins that  they have committed; I will not change my mind about punishing them, because  their soldiers even ripped open  the bellies of pregnant women  when their army attacked the Gilead  region to gain more territory. 
I will cause a fire to  completely burn the walls around Rabbah  city and completely burn its fortresses. During that battle,  their enemies will shout loudly and the fighting will be  like MET a fierce/raging wind/storm. 
 After the battle, the king  of Ammon and his officials will be ◄exiled/forced to go to another country►.”
