Berean Standard Bible
The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen
of Tekoa ,
which
he saw concerning 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
earthquake
.
These
are
the words of Amos, who was among the sheepherders
of Tekoa —what
he saw concerning Israel two
years
before
the
earthquake,
in the days when
Uzziah was
king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash
was
king of Israel.
And
he said ,
The LORD will
roar
from Zion ,
and utter
his voice from Jerusalem; and
the habitations
of the shepherds shall
mourn, and the top
of Carmel shall
wither
.
He said :
“
The LORD roars
from Zion and raises
His voice from Jerusalem; the pastures
of the shepherds mourn, and the summit
of Carmel withers
. ”
Thus
saith
the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Damascus, and
for
four, I will not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because they have
threshed Gilead with threshing
instruments
of iron :
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
For three transgressions of Damascus, even
four, I will not revoke
My
judgment,
because they threshed Gilead with sledges
of iron .
But
I will send a

the people of Syria
shall
go
into
captivity
unto
Kir, saith
the LORD.
I will break down
the gates
of Damascus ;
I
will
cut off the ruler
of
the Valley

who
wields
the scepter
in
Beth-
eden .
The people of Aram
will
be
exiled
to

Thus
saith
the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Gaza, and
for
four, I will not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because they carried
away
captive
the
whole captivity
, to
deliver
them up to Edom :
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
For three transgressions of Gaza, even
four, I will not revoke
My
judgment,
because they exiled
a
whole population
, delivering
them up to Edom .

perish, saith
the Lord GOD.

perish, ”
says
the Lord GOD.
Thus
saith
the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Tyrus
, and
for
four, I will not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because they delivered up the
whole captivity
to Edom ,
and remembered
not
the
brotherly
covenant :
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
For three transgressions of Tyre
, even
four, I will not revoke
My
judgment,
because they delivered up a
whole congregation
of
exiles
to Edom and broke
a
covenant of
brotherhood.
But
I will send a
fire on
the wall
of Tyrus,
which
shall
devour

consume
its
citadels

Thus
saith
the LORD ;
For three transgressions of Edom, and
for
four, I will not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because he did
pursue
his brother with the sword ,
and did
cast
off
all pity,
and
his anger did
tear
perpetually
, and he
kept
his wrath
for
ever:
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
For three transgressions of Edom, even
four, I will not revoke
My
judgment,
because he pursued
his brother with the sword and stifled
all compassion;
his anger raged
continually
, and his fury
flamed
incessantly.
But
I will send a
fire upon Teman ,
which

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:
This
is
what
the LORD says:
“
For three transgressions of the Ammonites
, even
four, I will not revoke
My
judgment,
because they ripped open
the pregnant
women of Gilead in
order
to
enlarge their territory.
But
I will kindle a fire in the wall
of Rabbah ,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
thereof,
with
shouting
in
the day of battle ,
with
a tempest
in
the day of the
whirlwind:
So
I will kindle a fire in the walls
of Rabbah to
consume
its
citadels
amid
war
cries
on
the day of battle and
a violent
wind
on
the day of tempest.
And
their king shall
go into captivity,
he and his princes together, saith

Their king will
go into exile
—
he and his princes together, ”
says
the LORD.
