The
words of
Amos,
who was among the
sheepherders from
Tekoa,
which he
envisioned in
visions concerning Israel in the
days of
Uzziah king of
Judah, and in the
days of
Jeroboam son of
Joash,
king of
Israel, two
years before the
earthquake.

He
said, "The
LORD roars from
Zion And from
Jerusalem He
utters His

shepherds' pasture grounds mourn, And the
summit of
Carmel dries up."
