Amos
1
2 He said:
Yahweh will roar from Zion,
and
utter his
voice from Jerusalem;
and the
pastures of the shepherds will mourn,
and the top of Carmel will wither.
3 Yahweh says:
For
three transgressions of Damascus, yes, for four,
I
will not
turn away its punishment;
because
they have threshed the pregnant women of Gilead with threshing
instruments of iron;
4 but I will send a
fire into the house of Hazael,
and
it will devour the palaces of Ben Hadad.
5 I will break the bar
of Damascus,
and
cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven,
and
him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden;
and
the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir,
says
Yahweh.
