1 These are the words of Amos, one of the sheep farmers from Tekoa. He saw ⌞a vision⌟ about Israel during the reigns of Judah’s King Uzziah and Israel’s King Jeroboam, son of Joash. This happened two years before the earthquake.
2 He said:
3 This is what the Lord says:
4 I will send a fire on the house of Hazael
5 I will break the bars ⌞on the gates⌟ of Damascus.
6 This is what the Lord says:
7 I will send a fire on the walls of Gaza
8 I will cut off those living in Ashdod
9 This is what the Lord says:
10 I will send a fire on the walls of Tyre
11 This is what the Lord says:
12 I will send a fire on Teman
13 This is what the Lord says:
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah
15 Their king will go into captivity along with his officials.
