Amos 2:2

2:2 So I will set Moab on fire,¹

and it will consume Kerioth’s² fortresses.

Moab will perish³ in the heat of battle⁴

amid war cries and the blaring⁵ of the ram’s horn.⁶

¹sn The destruction of Moab by fire is an example of a judgment in kind – as the Moabites committed the crime of “burning,” so the Lord will punish them by setting them on fire.

²sn Kerioth was an important Moabite city. See Jer 48:24, 41.

³tn Or “die” (KJV, NASB, NRSV, TEV); NAB “shall meet death.”

⁴tn Or “in the tumult.” This word refers to the harsh confusion of sounds that characterized an ancient battle – a mixture of war cries, shouts, shrieks of pain, clashes of weapons, etc.

⁵tn Heb “sound” (so KJV, NASB, NRSV).

⁶sn The ram’s horn (used as a trumpet) was blown to signal the approaching battle.
