Amos 1:1 The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 

2 And he said: 

      “The LORD roars from Zion 
      and utters his voice from Jerusalem; 
      the pastures of the shepherds mourn, 
      and the top of Carmel withers.”
