1. Amos 1:4–5 (ESV)
  2. Exposition

What will the LORD do in response to the sins of Syria?

Amos 1:4–5 (ESV)

4 So I will send a fire upon the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-hadad.

The Lord’s response to the crimes of Syria is complete destruction. Syria will not merely lose a war; it will be crushed and conquered by the Lord working through unspecified intermediary nations.1
