Amos 1:2-Amos 2:3 - Judgment On Israel's Neighbors
2 He said:
and raises His voice from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds mourn,
and the summit of Carmel
3 The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.
and it will consume Ben-hadad’s
I will cut off the ruler from the Valley of Aven,
and the one who wields the scepter from Beth-eden.
The people of Aram will be exiled to Kir.
The Lord has spoken.
6 The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because they exiled a whole community,
handing them over to Edom.
and it will consume its citadels.
and the one who wields the scepter from Ashkelon.
I will also turn My hand against Ekron,
and the remainder of the Philistines
The Lord God has spoken.
9 The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because they handed over
a whole community of exiles to Edom
and broke
and it will consume its citadels.
11 The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because he pursued his brother with the sword.
He stifled his compassion,
his anger tore at them
and he harbored his rage incessantly.
and it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.
13 The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because they ripped open
the pregnant women of Gilead
in order to enlarge their territory.
and it will consume its citadels.
There will be shouting on the day of battle
and a violent wind on the day of the storm.
will go into exile together.
The Lord has spoken.
1 The Lord says:
for three crimes, even four,
because he burned the bones
of the king of Edom to lime.
and it will consume the citadels of Kerioth.
Moab will die with a tumult,
with shouting and the sound of the ram’s horn.
and kill all its officials
The Lord has spoken.
