Amos 1 said: “The Lord comes roaring 2 out of Zion; from Jerusalem 3 he comes bellowing! 4 The shepherds’ pastures wilt; 5 the summit of Carmel 6 withers.” 7
Woe 1 to those who live in ease in Zion, 2 to those who feel secure on Mount Samaria. They think of themselves as 3 the elite class of the best nation. The family 4 of Israel looks to them for leadership. 5
