Amos 1 is the first chapter of the Book of Amos in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. It opens with Amos introducing himself as a shepherd from Tekoa, whom God has called to prophesy against various nations. The chapter primarily focuses on pronouncing judgments against neighboring nations for their wickedness and transgressions.
In this chapter, Amos delivers divine messages of judgment against Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, and Judah. Each nation is condemned for their specific offenses and is warned of the impending consequences they will face due to their sins. These prophecies serve as a reminder that God’s justice will be carried out, and no nation will escape accountability for their actions.
