Amos 1:2-Amos 2:3 - Judgment On Israel's Neighbors
2 He said, "From Zion the LORD roars, and from Jerusalem he shouts aloud. The shepherds' pastures will languish, and Carmel's summit will wither."
3 This is what the LORD says: "For three transgressions of Damascus and now for a fourth I will not turn away; because they have trampled down Gilead with ironclad threshing sleds. 4 So I will send down fire upon the house of Hazael, and it will devour the palaces of Ben-hadad. 5 I will shatter the gate bars of Damascus, and I will cut off the residents of the Aven Valley, along with the one who holds the scepter from Beth-eden; and the people of Aram will be exiled to Kir," says the LORD.
6 This is what the LORD says: "For three transgressions of Gaza and now for a fourth I will not turn away; because they exiled the entire population, delivering them to Edom. 7 So I will send down fire upon the wall of Gaza, and it will devour their fortified citadels; 8 and I will cut off the inhabitants of Ashdod, along with Ashkelon's ruler. I will turn to attack Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will die," says the Lord GOD.
9 This is what the LORD says: "For three transgressions of Tyre and now for a fourth I will not turn away; because they delivered the entire population to Edom, and did not remember their covenant with their relatives. 10 So I will send down fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it will devour their fortified citadels."
11 This is what the LORD says: "For three transgressions of Edom and now for a fourth I will not turn away; because he pursued his brother with a sword, refusing to be compassionate. His anger was raging continuously; he kept up his unending wrath. 12 So I will send down fire upon Teman, and it will devour the fortified citadels of Bozrah."
13 This is what the LORD says: "For three transgressions of the Ammonites and now for a fourth I will not turn away; because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their national borders. 14 So I will send down fire upon the wall of Rabbah, and it will devour their fortified citadels with an alarm sounding in the time of battle, and with a whirlwind in the time of storm. 15 Their king will go into captivity he and his princes together," says the LORD.
1 This is what the LORD says: "For three transgressions of Moab because they cremated the bones of the king of Edom, burning them to lime. 2 So I will send down fire upon Moab, and it will devour the fortified citadels of Kerioth. Moab will die in the uproar of battle, with a war cry and with the trumpeting of the ram's horn. 3 I will execute their rulers among them, killing all of their officials as well," says the LORD.
