Amos sheweth God's judgment upon Syria,

1 ¶ The wordsº of Amos,º who² was² among the herdmenº of Tekoa,º² which² he sawºª concerning² Israelº in the daysº of Uzziahº kingº of Judah,º and in the daysº of Jeroboamº the sonº of Joashº kingº of Israel,º two yearsº beforeº the earthquake.º 2 And he said,ºª The LORDº will roarºª from Zion,º² and utterºª his voiceº from Jerusalem;º² and the habitationsº of the shepherdsºª shall mourn,ºª and the topº of Carmelº shall wither.ºª 3 Thus² saithºª the LORD;º For² threeº transgressionsº of Damascus,º and for² four,º I will not² turn awayºª [the punishment] thereof; because² they have threshedºª² Gileadº with threshing instrumentsº of iron:º 4 But I will sendºª a fireº into the houseº of Hazael,º which shall devourºª the palacesº of Benhadad.º 5 I will breakºª also the barº of Damascus,º and cut offºª the inhabitantºª from the plainº² of Aven,º and him that holdethºª the sceptreº from the house¹ of Eden:º¹ª² and the peopleº of Syriaº shall go into captivityºª unto Kir,º saithºª the LORD.º
