Amos
Amos.1
[1] The words of Amos, who was among the herdman 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.
[2] 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.
[3] 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:
[4] But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which
shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
[5] 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.
[6] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza,
and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver
them up to Edom:
[7] But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which
shall devour the palaces thereof:
[8] And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him
that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand
against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,
saith the Lord GOD.
[9] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of
Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and
remembered not the brotherly covenant:
[10] But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which
shall devour the palaces thereof.
[11] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of
Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because he 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:
[12] But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour
the palaces of Bozrah.
[13] Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the
children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the
punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with
child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:
[14] 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:
[15] And their king shall go into captivity, he and his
princes together, saith the LORD.
