Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
(Jeremiah 12:14–17)
These are the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders 1of Tekoa—what he saw concerning Israel two years 2before the earthquake, in the days when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash 3was king of Israel.

“The LORD roars from Zion
and raises His voice from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds mourn,
and the summit of Carmel withers.”
