Amos

Speaks against injustice and predicts Israel's punishment but ends with hope for restoration.

Chapter 1

KJV - Amos 1:13

Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:

So says the Lord: Because of the three wrongs committed by the people of Ammon and a fourth one too, I won't stop the punishment. They ripped open pregnant women from Gilead to expand their land.
