11 The words of Amos , who was among the sheepherders from Tekoa , which he [1]envisioned in visions concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah , and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash , king of Israel , two years before the earthquake . 2 He said , "The Lord roars from Zion And from Jerusalem He utters His voice ; And the shepherds' pasture grounds mourn , And the [2] summit of Carmel dries up."
3 Thus says the Lord , "For three transgressions of Damascus and for four I will not [3]revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron . 4 "So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael And it will consume the citadels of Ben-hadad . 5 "I will also break the gate bar of Damascus , And cut off the inhabitant from the [4]valley of Aven , And him who holds the scepter , from Beth-eden ; So the people of Aram will go exiled to Kir ," Says the Lord . 6 Thus says the Lord , "For three transgressions of Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To deliver it up to Edom . 7 "So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels . 8 "I will also cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod , And him who holds the scepter , from Ashkelon ; I will even [5]unleash My [6]power upon Ekron , And the remnant of the Philistines will perish ," Says the Lord [7]GOD . 9 Thus says the Lord , "For three transgressions of Tyre and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom And did not remember the covenant of [8] brotherhood . 10 "So I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre And it will consume her citadels ." 11 Thus says the Lord , "For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he pursued his brother with the sword , While he [9]stifled his compassion ; His anger also tore continually , And he maintained his fury forever . 12 "So I will send fire upon Teman And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah ." 13 Thus says the Lord , "For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead In order to enlarge their borders . 14 "So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah And it will consume her citadels Amid [10] war cries on the day of battle , And a storm on the day of tempest . 15 "Their king will go into exile , He and his princes together ," says the Lord .
