Amos 1:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 1:4

2 And he said:
“The Lord ^aroars from Zion,
And utters His voice from Jerusalem;
The pastures of the shepherds mourn,
And the top of ^bCarmel withers.”

Judgment on the Nations

3 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aDamascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have ^bthreshed Gilead with implements of iron.

4 ^aBut I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of ^bBen-Hadad.

5 I will also break the gate ^abar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who¹ holds the scepter from Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
Says the Lord.

6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of ^aGaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
