Amos 1 · Grade 3

For Three Sins, Yes, for Four

Name Date

Read the Story

Amos was among the herdsmen of Tekoa. He was a shepherd, not a king or priest. God gave him words to say.

He said: Yahweh will roar from Zion. Then God spoke to the nations around Israel. Each time He said there were three sins, and even four. That means sin upon sin.

God named their sins. Damascus was cruel to Gilead. Gaza and Tyre sold whole communities as captives. Tyre didn't remember the brotherly covenant. Edom chased his brother with the sword. God would send fire on their palaces.

Memory Verse

He said: “Yahweh will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither.”

Amos 1:2 (WEB)
