The words of Amos, who was one of the sheep breeders , from Tekoa — what he saw regarding Israel in the days of King Uzziah of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
He said:
The LORD roars from Zion
and makes his voice heard from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds mourn, ,
and the summit of Carmel withers.
