Amos 1:2 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Amos 1:1      Amos 1:3

Amos 1:2

He said: "The Lord (Yahweh) roars [Joel 3:16] from Zion [the Temple Mount in Jerusalem] and raises his voice from Jerusalem, and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel [Amos 9:3] shall wither."
[Now follow seven well-structured repetitions with judgments on surrounding nations. The phrase "three, yes, four transgressions" reinforces that there are many transgressions, see Amos 1:3, 6, 9, 11, 13; 2:1, 4, 6. The meaning may be continuity and continuation: 3 transgressions, 4 transgressions, etc. There is also a symbolism with 3 + 4 becoming 7, i.e., that the transgressions have reached their full measure. The first six are grouped in pairs: Damascus & Gaza (the spear, see verse 5 and verse 8), Tyre & Edom (brothers in verse 9 and verse 11; no concluding phrase "says the Lord") and Ammon & Moab. The seventh judgment is directed against Judah. The book's overall structure with the number seven makes it a surprise when an eighth judgment against Israel concludes this section Amos 2:6–16.]
