2 Amos said, “The LORD will shout like a lion in Zion. His loud voice will roar from Jerusalem. The green pastures of the shepherds will turn brown and die. Even Mount Carmel[1] will become dry.”

3 This is what the LORD says: “I will definitely punish the people of Damascus for the many crimes they did.[2] They crushed the people of Gilead with iron threshing tools.

4 So I will start a fire at Hazael’s[3] house that will destroy the great palaces of Ben-Hadad.[4]
