The words[H1697] of Amos[H5986], who was among the herdmen[H5349] of Tekoa[H8620], which he saw[H2372] concerning Israel[H3478] in the days[H3117] of Uzziah[H5818]king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and in the days[H3117] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Joash[H3101]king[H4428] of Israel[H3478], two years[H8141]before[H6440] the earthquake[H7494].
2
And he said[H559], The LORD[H3068] will roar[H7580] from Zion[H6726], and utter[H5414] his voice[H6963] from Jerusalem[H3389]; and the habitations[H4999] of the shepherds[H7462] shall mourn[H56], and the top[H7218] of Carmel[H3760] shall wither[H3001].
3
Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; For three[H7969]transgressions[H6588] of Damascus[H1834], and for four[H702], I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof; because they have threshed[H1758]Gilead[H1568] with threshing instruments[H2742] of iron[H1270]:
4
But I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] into the house[H1004] of Hazael[H2371], which shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] of Benhadad[H1130].
5
I will break[H7665] also the bar[H1280] of Damascus[H1834], and cut off[H3772] the inhabitant[H3427] from the plain[H1237] of Aven[H206], and him that holdeth[H8551] the sceptre[H7626] from the house[H1004] of Eden[H5731]: and the people[H5971] of Syria[H758] shall go into captivity[H1540] unto Kir[H7024], saith[H559] the LORD[H3068].
6
Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; For three[H7969]transgressions[H6588] of Gaza[H5804], and for four[H702], I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof; because they carried away[H7725]captive[H1540] the whole[H8003]captivity[H1546], to deliver them up[H5462] to Edom[H123]:
7
But I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] on the wall[H2346] of Gaza[H5804], which shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] thereof:
8
And I will cut off[H3772] the inhabitant[H3427] from Ashdod[H795], and him that holdeth[H8551] the sceptre[H7626] from Ashkelon[H831], and I will turn[H7725] mine hand[H3027] against Ekron[H6138]: and the remnant[H7611] of the Philistines[H6430] shall perish[H6], saith[H559] the Lord[H136]GOD[H3069].
9
Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; For three[H7969]transgressions[H6588] of Tyrus[H6865], and for four[H702], I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof; because they delivered up[H5462] the whole[H8003]captivity[H1546] to Edom[H123], and remembered[H2142] not the brotherly[H251]covenant[H1285]:
10
But I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] on the wall[H2346] of Tyrus[H6865], which shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] thereof.
11
Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; For three[H7969]transgressions[H6588] of Edom[H123], and for four[H702], I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof; because he did pursue[H7291] his brother[H251] with the sword[H2719], and did cast off[H7843] all pity[H7356], and his anger[H639] did tear[H2963]perpetually[H5703], and he kept[H8104] his wrath[H5678] for ever[H5331]:
12
But I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] upon Teman[H8487], which shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] of Bozrah[H1224].
13
Thus saith[H559] the LORD[H3068]; For three[H7969]transgressions[H6588] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983], and for four[H702], I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up[H1234] the women with child[H2030] of Gilead[H1568], that they might enlarge[H7337] their border[H1366]:
14
But I will kindle[H3341] a fire[H784] in the wall[H2346] of Rabbah[H7237], and it shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] thereof, with shouting[H8643] in the day[H3117] of battle[H4421], with a tempest[H5591] in the day[H3117] of the whirlwind[H5492]:
15
And their king[H4428] shall go[H1980] into captivity[H1473], he and his princes[H8269]together[H3162], saith[H559] the LORD[H3068].
