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, <H0559> 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, <H0056> and the top <H7218> of Carmel <H3760> shall wither. <H3001>
3
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> For three <H7969> transgressions <H6588> of Damascus, <H1834> and for four, <H0702> 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 <H0784> into the house <H1004> of Hazael, <H2371> which shall devour <H0398> the palaces <H0759> 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, <H0205> and him that holdeth <H8551> the sceptre <H7626> from the house of Eden: <H1004> <H5731><H1040> and the people <H5971> of Syria <H0758> shall go into captivity <H1540> unto Kir, <H7024> saith <H0559> the LORD. <H3068>
6
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> For three <H7969> transgressions <H6588> of Gaza, <H5804> and for four, <H0702> I will not turn away <H7725> [the punishment] thereof; because they carried away captive <H1540> the whole <H8003> captivity, <H1546> to deliver [them] up <H5462> to Edom: <H0123>
7
But I will send <H7971> a fire <H0784> on the wall <H2346> of Gaza, <H5804> which shall devour <H0398> the palaces <H0759> thereof:
8
And I will cut off <H3772> the inhabitant <H3427> from Ashdod, <H0795> and him that holdeth <H8551> the sceptre <H7626> from Ashkelon, <H0831> and I will turn <H7725> mine hand <H3027> against Ekron: <H6138> and the remnant <H7611> of the Philistines <H6430> shall perish, <H0006> saith <H0559> the Lord <H0136> GOD. <H3069>
9
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> For three <H7969> transgressions <H6588> of Tyrus, <H6865> and for four, <H0702> I will not turn away <H7725> [the punishment] thereof; because they delivered up <H5462> the whole <H8003> captivity <H1546> to Edom, <H0123> and remembered <H2142> not the brotherly <H0251> covenant: <H1285>
10
But I will send <H7971> a fire <H0784> on the wall <H2346> of Tyrus, <H6865> which shall devour <H0398> the palaces <H0759> thereof.
11
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> For three <H7969> transgressions <H6588> of Edom, <H0123> and for four, <H0702> I will not turn away <H7725> [the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue <H7291> his brother <H0251> with the sword, <H2719> and did cast off <H7843> all pity, <H7356> and his anger <H0639> did tear <H2963> perpetually, <H5703> and he kept <H8104> his wrath <H5678> for ever: <H5331>
12
But I will send <H7971> a fire <H0784> upon Teman, <H8487> which shall devour <H0398> the palaces <H0759> of Bozrah. <H1224>
13
Thus saith <H0559> the LORD; <H3068> For three <H7969> transgressions <H6588> of the children <H1121> of Ammon, <H5983> and for four, <H0702> 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 <H0784> in the wall <H2346> of Rabbah, <H7237> and it shall devour <H0398> the palaces <H0759> 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 <H0559> the LORD. <H3068>
