Amos / Question
Question source
Amos
Amos opens with an image of the LORD speaking loudly and powerfully “from Zion” and “from Jerusalem.” The verse links that voice with drought-like effects: the pastures mourn and Carmel withers. See Amos 1:2.
2He said, Yahweh will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
