 1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa  —the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake,   when Uzziah   was king of Judah and Jeroboam   son of Jehoash  was king of Israel.   2 He said: “The Lord roars   from Zion and thunders   from Jerusalem;   the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the top of Carmel   withers.”   3 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Damascus,   even for four, I will not relent.   Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,  4 I will send fire   on the house of Hazael   that will consume the fortresses   of Ben-Hadad.    5 I will break down the gate   of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in  the Valley of Aven  and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.   The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,  ” says the Lord.   6 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Gaza,   even for four, I will not relent.   Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom,    7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.  8 I will destroy the king  of Ashdod   and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand   against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines   are dead,”   says the Sovereign Lord.   9 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Tyre,   even for four, I will not relent.   Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,    10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses.  ” 11 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Edom,   even for four, I will not relent. Because he pursued his brother with a sword   and slaughtered the women of the land, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked,    12 I will send fire on Teman   that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.  ” 13 This is what the Lord says: “For three sins of Ammon,   even for four, I will not relent. Because he ripped open the pregnant women   of Gilead in order to extend his borders,  14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah   that will consume   her fortresses amid war cries   on the day of battle, amid violent winds   on a stormy day.  15 Her king  will go into exile, he and his officials together,  ” says the Lord.

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
