Amós 1
1 Palabras de Amós, uno de los pastores de Tecoa. Visión que tuvo sobre Israel en los días de Uzías, rey de Judá, y en los días de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel, dos años antes del terremoto.
The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about 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 earth-shock.

And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
