1:2 Amos said:
“The Lord comes roaring out of Zion;
from Jerusalem he comes bellowing!
The shepherds’ pastures wilt;
the summit of Carmel withers.”
3:11 Therefore,” says the sovereign Lord, “an enemy will encircle the land.
He will take away your power;
your fortresses will be looted.”
5:14 Seek good and not evil so you can live!
Then the Lord, the God who commands armies, just might be with you,
as you claim he is.
6:11 Indeed, look! The Lord is giving the command.
He will smash the large house to bits,
and the small house into little pieces.
“Sovereign Lord, forgive Israel!
How can Jacob survive?
He is too weak!”
