Amos, Amos one the words of Amos, who was among

the shepherds of Tacoa, which he saw concerning Israel in

the days of Aziah, king of Judah, and in the

days of Jerebon, the son of Josh King of israelie

two years before the earthquake, And he said.

The Lord roars from Zion and utters his voice from Jerusalem,

the pastors of the Shepherd's morn, and the top of

Carmel withers. Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Damascus and for four, I will

not revoke the punishment.

Because they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron.

So I will send a fire upon the House of Hazael,

and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben Haydad.

I will break the gate bar.

Of Damascus and cut off the inhabitants from the valley

of Avon, and him who holds the scepter from beth Eden,

and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir,

says the Lord.

Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Gaza and for four, I will

not revoke.

The punishment, because they carried into exile a whole people

to deliver them up to Edom.

So I will send a fire upon the wall.

Of Gaza, and it shall devour her strongholds. I will

cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him who holds

the scepter from Ashgalan. I will turn my hand against Ekron,

and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the

Lord God. Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Tire and for four, I will

not revoke the.

Punishment, because they delivered up a whole people to Eaedom

and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood. So I

will send a fire upon the wall of Tire, and

it shall devour her strongholds.

Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Eden, and for four, I will

not revoke the punishment.

Because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast

off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he

kept his wrath forever.

So I will.

Send a fire upon Timon, and it shall devour the

strongholds of Basra, Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I

will not revoke the punishment.

Because they have ripped open pregnant women in Gillap that

they might enlarge their border. So I will kindle a

fire in the wall of Rabba, and it shall devour

her strongholds with shouting on the day of battle, with

the tempest, in the day of the whirlwind, and their

king shall go into exile he and his princess together,

says the Lord.

Amos.

Two. Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Moab and for four, I will

not revoke the.

Punishment, because he burned to line the bones of the

king of Edom. So I will send a fire upon Moab,

and it shall devour the strongholds of Curios, and Moab

shall die amid uproar, amidst shouting and the sound of

the trumpet. I will cut off the ruler from its

midst and will kill all its princes with him, says

the Lord.

Thus says the Lord, for three transgressions of Judah and

for four, I will not revoke.

The punishment, because they have rejected the law of the

Lord and have not kept his statutes. But their lies

have led them astray those after which their fathers walked.

I'll send a fire upon Judah and it shall devour

the strongholds of Jerusalem.

Thus says the Lord.

For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will

not revoke the.

Punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver, and the

needy for a pair of sandals. Those who trample the

head of the poor into the dust of the earth,

and turn aside the way of the afflicted. A man

and his father go into the same girl, so that

MY holy name is profaned. They lay themselves down beside

every altar, on garments taken in pledge, and in the

house of their God they drink the wine of those

who have been fined.

Yet it was I who destroyed the Amord before them,

whose height was like the height of the cedars, and

who is as strong as the oaks. I destroyed his

fruit above and his roots beneath them. Also it was

I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt,

and led you forty years in the wilderness to possess

the land of the Amorite. And I raised up some

of your sons for prophets, and some of your young

men for Nazarites. Is it not indeed so o, people of.

Israel, declares the Lord.

But you made the Nazarites drink wide and command at

the prophets, saying, you shall not prophesy. Behold, I will

press you down in your place, as a cart full

of sheaves presses down. Flight shall perish from the swift,

and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall

the mighty save his life. He who handles the bow

shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot

shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the

horse save his life. And he who is stout of

heart among the mighty shall flee away naked.

In that day, declares the Lord.

Amos.

Three, hear this word.

That the Lord has spoken against you, o people of Israel,

against the whole family that I brought up out of

the land of Egypt.

You only have I known of all the families of

the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to meet?

Does a lion roar in the forest when he has

no pray? Does a young lion cry out from his

den if he has taken nothing? Does a bird fall

in a snare on the earth when there is no

trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the

ground when it has taken Nothing is a trumpet blown

in a city and the people are not afraid. Does

disaster come to a city unless the Lord has done it?

For the Lord God does nothing without revealing a secret

to his servants.

The prophets the.

Lion has roared, Who will not fear the Lord God

has spoken? Who can but prophes I proclaim to the

strongholds in Ashdod, and to the strongholds in the land

of Egypt, And.

Say, assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see

the great tumults within her and the oppressed in her.

Midst They do not know how to do.

Right, declares the Lord.

Those who store up violence and robbery and their strongholds.

Therefore, thus says the Lord God, an adversary shall surround

the land and bring down your defenses from you, and

your strongholds shall be plundered.

Thus says the Lord. As the shepherd.

Rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs or

a piece of an ear, So shall the people of Israel,

who dwell in Samaria be rescued with the corner of

a couch and part of a bed, hear and testify

against the house of Jacob, declares the Lord God, the

God of Hosts, that on the day I punish Israel

for his transgressions, I will punish the altars of Bethel,

and the horns of the altar shall be cut off

and fall to the ground. I will strike the winter

house along with the summer house, and the houses of

Ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall come to

an end, declares.

The Lord.

Amos. Four.

Hear this word, you cows of Bati, who are on

the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush

the needy, who say to your.

Husbands, bring that we may drink.

The Lord God has sworn by his holiness. Behold, the

days are coming upon you when they shall take you

away with hooks, even the last of you, with fish hooks.

And you shall go out through the breeches, each one

straight ahead, and you shall be cast out into Harmon,

declares the Lord. Come to Bethel, and transgress to Gilgal,

and multiply transgression. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes,

every three days, offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that

which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings. Publish them

for so you love to do, oh, people of Israel,

declares the Lord God.

I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,

and lack of bread in all your places. Yet you

did not return to me.

Declares the Lord.

I also withheld the rain from you, when there were

yet three months to the harvest. I would send rain

on one city and send no rain on another city.

One field would have rain, and the field on which

it did not rain would wither. So two or three

cities would wander to another city to drink water, and

would not be satisfied. Yet you did not return to.

Me, declares the Lord.

I struck you with blight and mildew, your many gardens

and your vineyards, your fig trees and your olive trees

the locusts devoured, Yet you did not return to me.

Declares the Lord.

I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt.

I killed your young men with a sword, and carried

away your horses, and I made the stench of your

camp go up into your nostrils. Yet you did not

return to me.

Declares the Lord.

I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew sodom

and Gomorrah, and you were as a brand plugged out

of the burning, yet you did not.

Returned to me, declares the Lord.

Therefore, thus I will do to you, Oh Israel, because

I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God,

oh Israel.

For behold he who forms the mountains and creates the wind,

and declares to man, what is his thought? Who makes

the morning darkness and treads on the heights of the earth.

The Lord, the God of Hosts, is his name.

Amos.

Five hear this word that I take up over you

in lamentation.

O House of Israel fallen, no more to rise.

Is the Virgin Israel forsaken on her land, with none

to raise her up.

For thus says the Lord God.

The city that went out a thousand shall have a

hundred left, and that which went out a hundred shall.

Have ten left. To the House of Israel.

For thus says the Lord to the House of Israel,

seek me and live. But do not seek Bethel, and

do not enter into Gilgal or cross over to Berasheba,

for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall

come to nothing. Seek the Lord and live, lest he

break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and

did devour with none to quench it.

For Bethel, oh.

You who turn justice to wormwood and cast down righteousness

to the earth. He who made the Pleiades and Orion,

and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the

day and tonight, who calls for the waters of the

sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth.

The Lord is his name, who makes destruction fly forth

against the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.

They hate him who approves in the gate, and they

abhor him who.

Speaks the truth.

Therefore, because you trample on the poor, and you exact

taxes of grain from him. You have built houses of

fewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them. You

have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.

For I know how many are your transgressions, and how

great are your sins, You who afflict the righteous, who

take a bribe and turn aside the needy in the gate. Therefore,

he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time,

for it is an evil time. Seek good and not evil,

that you may live. And so the Lord, the God

of Host, will be with you, as you have said,

hate evil and love good.

And establish justice in the gate.

It may be that the Lord, the God of Hosts,

will be gracious.

To the remnants of Joseph.

Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Hosts, the Lord,

in all the squares that shall be wailing, and in

all the streets they shall.

Say, alas alas.

They shall call the farmers to mourning and to wailing

those who are skilled in lamentation. And in all vineyards

there shall be wailing. For I will pass through your

midst says the Lord. Woe to you who desire the

day of the Lord. Why would you have the day

of the Lord?

It is darkness and not light.

As if a man fled from a lion and a

bear met him, or went into the house and leaned

his hand against the wall, and a.

Serpent bid him. Is not the day of the Lord?

Darkness and not light, and gloom, with no brightness in it.

I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no

delight in your solemn assemblance. Even though you offer me

your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them,

and the peace offerings of your fattened animals I will

not look upon them. Take away from me the noise

of your songs, to the melody of your harps, I

will not listen, but let justice roll down like waters,

and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.

Did you bring to.

Me sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness,

O House of Israel? You shall take up Sicketh your

kingye and Cayun, your star God, your images that you

made for yourselves, and I will send you into exile

beyond Damascus, says the Lord whose name is the God.

Of Hosts.

Amos six.

Woe to those who are at ease and Zion, and

to those who feel sure. If you are on the

mountain of Samaria, the notable men of the first of

the nations, to whom the House of Israel comes, pass

over to Kalna and see, and from there go to

Hamoth the Great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines.

Are you better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory

greater than your territory, Oh, you who put far away

the day of disaster and bring near the seed of violence.

Woe to those who lie on beds of ivory and

stretch themselves out on their couches, and eat lambs from

the flock and calves from the midst of the stall,

who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp,

and like David, invent for themselves instruments of music, who

drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils,

but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph. Therefore

they shall now be the first of those who go

into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves

out shall pass away. The Lord God has sworn by himself,

declares the Lord, the God of Hosts.

I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his strongholds,

and I will deliver up the city and all that

is in it.

And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.

And when one's relative, the one who anoints them for burial,

shall take him up to bring the bones out of

the house, and shall say to him who is in

the innermost parts of the house.

Is there still anyone with you? He shall say no,

and he shall say silence. We must not mention the

name of the Lord.

For behold, the Lord commands and the great house shall

be struck down into fragments, and the little house into bits.

Do horses run on rocks? Does one plow there with oxen?

But you have turned justice into poisons, and the fruit

of righteousness into wormwood.

You who rejoice in low debur, who say, have.

We not by our own strength captured Carnaan for ourselves?

For behold, I will raise up against you a nation

o house of Israel, declares the Lord, the God of Hosts,

and they shall oppress you from Lebohemanth to the brook

of the.

Araba Amos seven.

This is what the Lord God showed me. Behold, he

was forming locus when the latter growth was just beginning

to sprout. And behold it was the latter growth after

the king's mowings, when they had finished eating the grass

of the land. I said, Oh, Lord God, please forgiven

Jacob stand he is so small.

The Lord relented concerning this.

It shall not be.

Said the Lord. This is what the Lord God showed me. Behold,

the Lord God was calling for a judgment by fire,

and it devoured the great deep and was eating up

the land. Then I said, oh, Lord God, please cease.

How can Jacob stand he is so small. The Lord

relented concerning this.

This also shall not be said the Lord God.

This is what he showed me.

Behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with

a plumb line, with the plumb line in his hand.

And the Lord said to.

Me, Amos, what do you see?

And I said, a plumb line. Then the Lord.

Said, behold, I am setting a plumb line in the

midst of my people Israel. I will never again pass by.

Then the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,

and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and

I will rise against the house of Jerebaum with the sword.

Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeobel and

King of Israel, saying.

Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the

house of Israel. The land is not able to bear

all his words. For thus Amos has said, Jeobaum shall

die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile

away from his land.

And Amaziah said to Amos.

Oh see your go flee away to the land of

Judah and eat bread there and prophesy there, but never

again prophesiat Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and

it is a temple of the kingdom.

Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah.

I was no prophet nor a prophet's son. But I

was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs.

But the Lord took me from following the flock, and

the Lord said to me, go prophesy to my people Israel.

Now therefore, hear the word of the Lord.

You say, do not prophesy against Israel, and do not

preach against the house of Isaac.

Therefore, thus says the Lord, your wife shall be.

A prostitute in the city, and your sons and your

daughters shall fall by the sword.

And your land shall be divided up with a measuring line.

You yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel

shall surely go into exile away from its land.

Amos eight, this is what the Lord God showed me.

Behold a basket of summer fruit.

And he said, Amos, what do you see?

And I said, a basket of summer fruit. Then the

Lord said to.

Me, the end has come upon my people Israel. I

will never again pass by them.

The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that

day declares the Lord God. So many dead bodies they

are thrown everywhere. Silence hear this, you who trample on

the needy and bring the poor of the land to

an end, saying.

When will the new moon be over?

That we may sell grain and the sabbath, that we

may offer wheat for sale, that.

We may make the ephah small and the shekel great,

and deal deceitfully with false balances.

That we may buy the poor for silver, and the

needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the cheff.

Of the wheat. The Lord has sworn by the pride

of Jacob. Surely I will never forget any of their deeds.

Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone

morn who dwells in it, and all of it rise

like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again

like the Nile of Egypt. And on that day, declares

the Lord God, I will make the sun go down

at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight. I

will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs

into lamentation. I will bring sackcloth on every waste, and

baldness on every head.

I will make it like the morning for an only sun,

and the end of it like a bitter day.

Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord God, when

I will send a famine on the land, not a

famine of bread, nor a thirst for water. But of

hearing the words of the Lord. They shall wander from

sea to sea, and from north to east. They shall

run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord.

But they shall not find it. In that day. The

lovely virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst.

Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say,

as your God lives, so damn, and as the way

of Beersheba lives, they shall fall and never rise again.

Amos nine, I saw the.

Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, strike the

capitals until the thresholds shake and shatter them. On the

heads of all the people, and those who are left

of them, I will kill with the sword. Not one

of them shall flee away, Not one of them shall escape.

If they dig into shield, from there shall my hand

take them. If they climb up to heaven, from there

I will bring them. If they hide themselves on the

top of Carmel, from there I will search them out.

And take them. And if they hide from my side

at the bottom of the sea, there I will command

the serpent, and it shall bite them. And if they

go into captivity before their enemies, there I will command

the sword, and it shall kill them. And I will

fix my eyes upon them for evil and not for good.

The Lord, God of Hosts, he who touches the earth

and it melts, and.

All who dwell in it morn, and all of.

It rises like the Nile and sinks again, like the

Nile of Egypt, who builds his upper chambers in the

heavens and founds his vault upon the earth, who calls

for the waters of the sea and pours them out

upon the surface of the earth.

The Lord is his name? Are you not like the Khushites?

To me? O people of Israel, declares the Lord.

Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,

and the Philistines from Kaftor and the Syrians from kir Behold,

the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful Kingdom,

and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,

except that I will not utterly destroy the House of Jacob,

declares the Lord. For behold, I will command and shake

the house of Israel among all the nations, as one

shakes with a sieve, but no pebble shall fall to

the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die

by the sword. Who say disasters shall not overtake or

meet us. In that day, I will raise up the

booth of David that is fallen, and repair its breaches,

and raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in

the days of old, that they may possess the remnant

of Edom, and all the nations who are called by

my name, declares the Lord who does this. Behold, the

days are coming, declares the Lord. When the plowmen shall

overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, him who

sows the sea, the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and

all the hills shall flow with it.

I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel, and

they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them. They

shall plant vineyards and drink their wine, and they shall

make gardens and eat their fruit. I will plant them

on their land, and they shall never again be uprooted

out of the land that I have given

Them, says the Lord, your God,
