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;
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.
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 !
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.
And
thus said
Jehovah:
For three transgressions of Damascus, And for four, I do
not reverse
it,
Because of
their
threshing
Gilead with sharp-pointed
irons,
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:
And
I have
sent
a fire against
the house of Hazael, And
it
hath
consumed
the palaces of Ben-Hadad
.

send
a fire into
the house of Hazael, which
shall
devour
the palaces of Benhadad

to
Kir, said
Jehovah
.
I will
break
also
the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the
plain
of
Aven, and him
that
holdeth
the
sceptre from the
house
of
Eden :
and the people of Syria
shall
go
into
captivity
unto
Kir, saith
the
LORD
.

removing
a
complete
captivity, To deliver up to Edom ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will
not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;

carried
away
captive
the
whole
captivity, to deliver them
up to Edom :

I have
sent
a fire against

hath
consumed
her

My
hand against Ekron ,

the remnant of the Philistines, Said
the Lord Jehovah
.
And I will
cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him

, saith

captivity to Edom, And they
remembered not the brotherly covenant ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
For three transgressions of Tyrus
, and for four, I will
not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;

delivered
up the
whole
captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant :

sent
a fire against
the wall of Tyre

Jehovah:
For three transgressions of Edom, And for four, I do
not reverse
it,
Because of
his pursuing
with a
sword his
brother
, And he
hath
destroyed
his
mercies
, And tear
perpetually
doth
his anger, And his
wrath
--
he hath
kept it
for ever ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will
not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;

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 :

of Gilead, To
enlarge their border ,
Thus saith
the
LORD;
For three transgressions of the children
of Ammon, and for four, I will
not turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;

have
ripped
up the women
with
child
of Gilead, that
they
might
enlarge their border :
And
I have
kindled
a fire against
the wall of Rabbah, And it hath
consumed
her
palaces, With a
shout
in a
day of battle, With a whirlwind
in a
day of hurricane,
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:
And gone
hath
their king in
a
removal
, He and his heads
together, said
Jehovah!
And their king shall
go
into
captivity
, he and his princes
together, saith
the
LORD.
