Words of Amos --
who hath
been
among herdsmen
of Tekoa --
that
he hath
seen
concerning Israel, in the days of
Uzziah king of Judah ,
and in
the
days
of
Jeroboam son of Joash
king of Israel ,
two
years
before
the
shaking;

king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash
was
king of Israel .
and
he saith
: Jehovah
from Zion doth
roar,
And from
Jerusalem
giveth
forth
His voice ,
And
mourned
have
pastures of the shepherds, And withered
hath
the top
of Carmel !
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.”
And

is

remembered
not

perpetually
doth
his anger, And his wrath

hath
kept
it
for
ever,
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
For three transgressions of Edom, even
four, I will

, because he
pursued
his brother
with the

of Gilead ,
To enlarge their border,
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “

open
the pregnant women

the
LORD.
