The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds from Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah the king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Jehoash, two years {before} the earthquake.

Thus says Yahweh: "For three transgressions of Judah and for four I will not revoke [the punishment], because they have rejected the law of Yahweh and have not kept his rules, and their lies have led them astray, {after which their ancestors walked}!

So I will send a fire against Judah and it will devour the citadel fortresses of Jerusalem.

And Amaziah said to Amos, " seer, go, flee to the land of Judah and earn food there and prophesy there!"
