: Amos 1



: 1 . The words <1697 dabar > of Amos <5986 <Amowc > , who
<0834 >aher > was among the herdmen <5349 noqed > of Tekoa <8620
T@qowa< > , which <0834 >aher > he saw <2372 chazah >
concerning <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the days <3117
yowm > of Uzziah <5818 <Uzziyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah
<3063 Y@huwdah > , and in the days <3117 yowm > of Jeroboam
<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash < 3101 Yow>ash >
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , two years <8141
shaneh > before <6440 paniym > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > .

: 2 And he said <0559 >amar > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will
roar <7580 sha>ag > from Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and utter <5414
nathan > his voice <6963 qowl > from Jerusalem <3389
Y@ruwshalaim > ; and the habitations <4999 na>ah > of the
shepherds <7462 ra<ah > shall mourn <56> , and the top <7218
ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > shall wither < 3001 yabesh > .

: 3 . Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , and for four <0702
>arba< > , I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment
] thereof ; because <5921 <al > they have threshed < 1758 duwsh
> Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > with threshing <2742 charuwts >
instruments of iron <1270 barzel > :

: 4 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 > esh > into
the house <1004 bayith > of Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > , which
shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 > armown > of
Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > .

: 5 I will break <7665 shabar > also the bar <1280 b@riyach >
of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , and cut <3772 karath > off the
inhabitant <3427 yashab > from the plain <1237 biq<ah > of Aven
<0206 >Aven > , and him that holdeth <8551 tamak > the sceptre
<7626 shebet > from the house <1004 bayith > of Eden <5731 <Eden
> : and the people <5971 <am > of Syria <0758 > Aram > shall go
into captivity <1540 galah > unto Kir <7024 Qiyr > , saith
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of Gaza <5804 <Azzah > , and for four <0702 >arba< > ,
I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof
; because <5921 <al > they carried <1540 galah > away captive
<1540 galah > the whole <8003 shalem > captivity < 1546 galuwth >
, to deliver <5462 cagar > [ them ] up to Edom <0123 >Edom > :


: 7 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 > esh > on the
wall <2346 chowmah > of Gaza <5804 <Azzah > , which shall
devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof :

: 8 And I will cut <3772 karath > off the inhabitant < 3427
yashab > from Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd > , and him that holdeth
<8551 tamak > the sceptre <7626 shebet > from Ashkelon <0831
>Ashq@lown > , and I will turn <7725 shuwb > mine hand <3027
yad > against <5921 <al > Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > : and the
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >
shall perish <6> , saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

: 9 Thus saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; For
three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 pesha< > of Tyrus
<6865 Tsor > , and for four <0702 >arba< > , I will not turn
<7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof ; because <5921
<al > they delivered <5462 cagar > up the whole < 8003 shalem >
captivity <1546 galuwth > to Edom <0123 >Edom > , and
remembered <2142 zakar > not the brotherly covenant < 1285
b@riyth > :

: 10 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 > esh > on
the wall <2346 chowmah > of Tyrus <6865 Tsor > , which shall
devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof .

: 11 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of Edom <0123 >Edom > , and for four < 0702 >arba< > ,
I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof ;
because <5921 <al > he did pursue <7291 radaph > his brother
<0251 >ach > with the sword <2719 chereb > , and did cast <7843
shachath > off all pity <7356 racham > , and his anger <0639
>aph > did tear <2963 taraph > perpetually <5703 <ad > , and he
kept <8104 shamar > his wrath <5678 <ebrah > for ever <5331
netsach > :

: 12 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 > esh > upon
Teman <8487 Teyman > , which shall devour <0398 > akal > the
palaces <0759 >armown > of Bozrah <1224 Botsrah > .

: 13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon < 5983 <Ammown > ,
and for four <0702 >arba< > , I will not turn < 7725 shuwb >
away [ the punishment ] thereof ; because <5921 <al > they
have ripped <1234 baqa< > up the women with child < 2030 hareh >
of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > , that they might enlarge < 7337 rachab
> their border <1366 g@buwl > :

: 14 But I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in
the wall <2346 chowmah > of Rabbah <7237 Rabbah > , and it
shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 > armown > thereof ,
with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > in the day <3117 yowm > of
battle <4421 milchamah > , with a tempest <5591 ca< ar > in the
day <3117 yowm > of the whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > :

: 15 And their king <4428 melek > shall go <1980 halak > into
captivity <1473 gowlah > , he and his princes <8269 sar >
together <3162 yachad > , saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > .

: Amos 2

: 1 . Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , and for four <0702 >arba< > ,
I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof
; because <5921 <al > he burned <8313 saraph > the bones <6106
<etsem > of the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom > into
lime <7875 siyd > :

: 2 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 > esh > upon
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , and it shall devour <0398 > akal > the
palaces <0759 >armown > of Kerioth <7152> : and Moab <4124
Mow>ab > shall die <4191 muwth > with tumult <7588 sha>own > ,
with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > , [ and ] with the sound <6963
qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar > :

: 3 And I will cut <3772 karath > off the judge <8199 shaphat
> from the midst <7130 qereb > thereof , and will slay <2026
harag > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > thereof with him
, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 4 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and for four <0702 >arba<
> , I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ]
thereof ; because <5921 <al > they have despised < 3988 ma>ac >
the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and have
not kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <2706 choq > , and
their lies <3576 kazab > caused them to err <8582 ta< ah > ,
after <0310 >achar > the which <0834 >aher > their fathers <1>
have walked <1980 halak > :

: 5 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 > esh > upon
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and it shall devour <0398 > akal > the
palaces <0759 >armown > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > .

: 6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588
pesha< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and for four <0702 >arba<
> , I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ]
thereof ; because <5921 <al > they sold <4376 makar > the
righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > for silver <3701 keceph > , and the
poor <34> for a pair of shoes <5275 na<al > ;

: 7 That pant <7602 sha>aph > after <5921 <al > the dust <6083
<aphar > of the earth <0776 >erets > on the head <7218 ro>sh >
of the poor <1800 dal > , and turn <5186 natah > aside <5186
natah > the way <1870 derek > of the meek <6035 < anav > : and a
man <0376 >iysh > and his father <2> will go < 3212 yalak > in
unto the [ same ] maid <5291 na<arah > , to profane <2490
chalal > my holy <6944 qodesh > name <8034 shem > :

: 8 And they lay <5186 natah > [ themselves ] down upon
clothes <0899 beged > laid to pledge <2254 chabal > by every
<3605 kol > altar <4196 mizbeach > , and they drink <8354
shathah > the wine <3196 yayin > of the condemned < 6064 <anash >
[ in ] the house <1004 bayith > of their god <0430 > elohiym > .


: 9 . Yet destroyed <8045 shamad > I the Amorite < 0567
>Emoriy > before <6440 paniym > them , whose < 0834 >aher >
height <1363 gobahh > [ was ] like the height <1363 gobahh >
of the cedars <0730 >erez > , and he [ was ] strong <2364
Chuwshah > as the oaks <0437 >allown > ; yet I destroyed <8045
shamad > his fruit <6529 p@riy > from above <4605 ma<al > , and
his roots <8328 sheresh > from beneath <8478 tachath > .

: 10 Also I brought <5927 <alah > you up from the land <0776
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , and led < 3212 yalak > you
forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > through the
wilderness <4057 midbar > , to possess <3423 yarash > the land
<0776 >erets > of the Amorite <0567 >Emoriy > .

: 11 And I raised <6965 quwm > up of your sons <1121 ben > for
prophets <5030 nabiy> > , and of your young <0970 bachuwr > men
for Nazarites <5139 naziyr > . [ Is it ] not even < 0637 >aph
> thus <2063 zo>th > , O ye children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > ? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
.

: 12 But ye gave the Nazarites <5139 naziyr > wine < 3196 yayin
> to drink <8248 shaqah > ; and commanded <6680 tsavah > the
prophets <5030 nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > , Prophesy
<5012 naba> > not .

: 13 Behold <2009 hinneh > , I am pressed <5781 < uwq > under
<8478 tachath > you , as a cart <5699 <agalah > is pressed
<5781 <uwq > [ that is ] full <4392 male> > of sheaves <5995
<amiyr > .

: 14 Therefore the flight <4498 manowc > shall perish < 6> from
the swift <7031 qal > , and the strong <2389 chazaq > shall not
strengthen <0553 >amats > his force <3581 koach > , neither
<3808 lo> > shall the mighty <1368 gibbowr > deliver <4422 malat

: 15 Neither <3808 lo> > shall he stand <5975 < amad > that
handleth <8610 taphas > the bow <7198 qesheth > ; and [ he
that is ] swift <7031 qal > of foot <7272 regel > shall not
deliver <4422 malat > [ himself <5315 nephesh > ] : neither
<3808 lo> > shall he that rideth <7392 rakab > the horse <5483
cuwc > deliver <4422 malat > himself <5315 nephesh > .

: 16 And [ he that is ] courageous among the mighty <1368
gibbowr > shall flee <5127 nuwc > away naked <6174 <arowm > in
that day <3117 yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > .

: Amos 3

: 1 . Hear <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > against
<5921 <al > you , O children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > , against <5921 <al > the whole < 3605 kol > family
<4940 mishpachah > which <0834 >aher > I brought <5927 <alah >
up from the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,
saying <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 You only <7535 raq > have I known <3045 yada< > of all
<3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the earth <0127
>adamah > : therefore I will punish <6485 paqad > you for all
<3605 kol > your iniquities <5771 <avon > .

: 3 Can two <8147 sh@nayim > walk <3212 yalak > together <3162
yachad > , except <1115 biltiy > they be agreed < 3259 ya<ad > ?

: 4 Will a lion <0738 >ariy > roar <7580 sha>ag > in the
forest <3293 ya<ar > , when he hath no <0369 > ayin > prey <2964
tereph > ? will a young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr >
cry out of his den <4585 m@<ownah > , if <0518 > im > he have
taken <3920 lakad > nothing <1115 biltiy > ?

: 5 Can a bird <6833 tsippowr > fall <5307 naphal > in a snare
<6341 pach > upon the earth <0776 >erets > , where no <0369
>ayin > gin <4170 mowqesh > [ is ] for him ? shall [ one ]
take <5927 <alah > up a snare <6341 pach > from the earth <0127
>adamah > , and have taken <3947 laqach > nothing <3808 lo> >
at all ?

: 6 Shall a trumpet <7782 showphar > be blown <8628 taqa< > in
the city <5892 <iyr > , and the people <5971 <am > not be
afraid <2729 charad > ? shall there be evil <7451 ra< > in a
city <5892 <iyr > , and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not done
<6213 <asah > [ it ] ?

: 7 Surely <3588 kiy > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih > will do <6213 <asah > nothing , but he revealeth
<1540 galah > his secret <5475 cowd > unto his servants <5650
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > .

: 8 The lion <0738 >ariy > hath roared <7580 sha> ag > , who
<4310 miy > will not fear <3372 yare> > ? the Lord <0136
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath spoken <1696 dabar > , who
<4310 miy > can but prophesy <5012 naba> > ?

: 9 . Publish <8085 shama< > in the palaces <0759 >armown >
at Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd > , and in the palaces < 0759 >armown >
in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > , and say
<0559 >amar > , Assemble <0622 >acaph > yourselves upon the
mountains <2022 har > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > , and behold
<7200 ra>ah > the great <7227 rab > tumults < 4103 m@huwmah > in
the midst <7130 qereb > thereof , and the oppressed < 6217
<ashuwq > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof .

: 10 For they know <3045 yada< > not to do <6213 <asah > right
<5229 n@kochah > , saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
, who store <0686 >atsar > up violence <2555 chamac > and
robbery <7701 shod > in their palaces <0759 >armown > .

: 11 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar

<6862 tsar > [ there shall be ] even round <5439 cabiyb >
about the land <0776 >erets > ; and he shall bring < 3381 yarad
> down <3381 yarad > thy strength <5797 <oz > from thee , and
thy palaces <0759 >armown > shall be spoiled <0962 bazaz > .

: 12 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > ; As the shepherd <7462 ra<ah > taketh < 5337 natsal >
out of the mouth <6310 peh > of the lion <0738 >ariy > two <8147
sh@nayim > legs <3767 kara< > , or <0176 >ow > a piece <0915
badal > of an ear <0241 >ozen > ; so <3651 ken > shall the
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be taken <5337
natsal > out that dwell <3427 yashab > in Samaria < 8111
Shom@rown > in the corner <6285 pe>ah > of a bed < 4296 mittah > ,
and in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > [ in ] a couch < 6210 <eres

: 13 Hear <8085 shama< > ye , and testify <5749 <uwd > in the
house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , saith <5001
na>am > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > , the God
<0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,

: 14 That in the day <3117 yowm > that I shall visit < 6485
paqad > the transgressions <6588 pesha< > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > upon him I will also visit <6485 paqad > the altars
<4196 mizbeach > of Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : and the horns
<7161 qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be cut <1438
gada< > off , and fall <5307 naphal > to the ground <0776
>erets > .

: 15 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the winter <2779 choreph >
house <1004 bayith > with the summer <7019 qayits > house <1004
bayith > ; and the houses <1004 bayith > of ivory < 8127 shen >
shall perish <6> , and the great <7227 rab > houses <1004
bayith > shall have an end <5486 cuwph > , saith < 5001 na>am >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: Amos 4

: 1 . Hear <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >
, ye kine <6510 parah > of Bashan <1316 Bashan > , that [ are
] in the mountain <2022 har > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,
which oppress <6231 <ashaq > the poor <1800 dal > , which crush
<7533 ratsats > the needy <34> , which say <0559 >amar > to
their masters <0113 >adown > , Bring <0935 bow> > , and let us
drink <8354 shathah > .

: 2 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath sworn
<7650 shaba< > byhis holiness <6944 qodesh > , that , lo <2009
hinneh > , the days <3117 yowm > shall come <0935 bow> > upon
you , that he will take <5375 nasa> > you away with hooks <6793
tsinnah > , and your posterity <0319 >achariyth > with
fishhooks .

: 3 And ye shall go <3318 yatsa> > out at the breaches <6556
perets > , every <0802 >ishshah > [ cow at that which is ]
before <5084 nadan > her ; and ye shall cast <7993 shalak > [
them ] into the palace <2038 harmown > , saith <5001 na>am >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 4 Come <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth - > El > , and
transgress <6586 pasha< > ; at Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > multiply
<7235 rabah > transgression <6588 pesha< > ; and bring <0935
bow> > your sacrifices <2077 zebach > every morning <1242 boqer

shalowsh > years <3117 yowm > :

: 5 And offer <6999 qatar > a sacrifice of thanksgiving <8426
towdah > with leaven <2557 chametz > , and proclaim < 7121 qara>
> [ and ] publish <8085 shama< > the free <5071 n@dabah >
offerings : for this <3651 ken > liketh <0157 >ahab > you , O
ye children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , saith
<5001 na>am > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD < 3069 Y@hovih > .

: 6 . And I also <1571 gam > have given <5414 nathan > you
cleanness <5356 niqqayown > of teeth <8127 shen > in all <3605
kol > your cities <5892 <iyr > , and want <2640 chocer > of
bread <3899 lechem > in all <3605 kol > your places <4725 maqowm

<5001 na>am > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 7 And also <1571 gam > I have withholden <4513 mana< > the
rain <1653 geshem > from you , when [ there were ] yet <5750
<owd > three <7969 shalowsh > months <2320 chodesh > to the
harvest <7105 qatsiyr > : and I caused it to rain <4305 matar >
upon one <0259 >echad > city <5892 <iyr > , and caused it not
to rain <4305 matar > upon another <0259 >echad > city <5892

<3001 yabesh > .

: 8 So two <8147 sh@nayim > [ or ] three <7969 shalowsh >
cities <5892 <iyr > wandered <5128 nuwa< > unto one <0259 >echad

ye not returned <7725 shuwb > unto me , saith <5001 na>am > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 9 I have smitten <5221 nakah > you with blasting < 7711
sh@dephah > and mildew <3420 yeraqown > : when your gardens
<1593 gannah > and your vineyards <3754 kerem > and your fig

increased <7235 rabah > , the palmerworm <1501 gazam > devoured
<0398 >akal > [ them ] : yet have ye not returned < 7725 shuwb

: 10 I have sent <7971 shalach > among you the pestilence
<1698 deber > after the manner <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714
Mitsrayim > : your young <0970 bachuwr > men have I slain <2026
harag > with the sword <2719 chereb > , and have taken <7628

yet have ye not returned <7725 shuwb > unto me , saith < 5001

: 11 I have overthrown <2015 haphak > [ some ] of you , as
God <0430 >elohiym > overthrew <4114 mahpekah > Sodom <5467
C@dom > and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > , and ye were as a
firebrand <0181 >uwd > plucked <5337 natsal > out of the burning

: 12 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > will I do <6213
<asah > unto thee , O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : [ and ]
because I will do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto thee ,
prepare <3559 kuwn > to meet <7125 qir>ah > thy God <0430

: Amos 5

: 1 . Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2088 zeh > word <1697
dabar > which <0834 >aher > I take <5375 nasa> > up against
<5921 <al > you , [ even ] a lamentation <7015 qiynah > , O
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > .

: 2 The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is
fallen <5307 naphal > ; she shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750

her land <0127 >adamah > ; [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin > to
raise <6965 quwm > her up .

: 3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136

<3318 yatsa> > out [ by ] a thousand <0505 > eleph > shall

and pass <5674 <abar > not to Beersheba <0884 B@> er Sheba< > :
for Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > shall surely go into captivity <1540

: 6 Seek <1875 darash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and ye
shall live <2421 chayah > ; lest <6435 pen > he break <6743

of Joseph <3130 Yowceph > , and devour <0398 >akal > [ it ] ,
and [ there be ] none <0369 >ayin > to quench < 3518 kabah >
[ it ] in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > .

: 7 Ye who turn <2015 haphak > judgment <4941 mishpat > to
wormwood <3939 la<anah > , and leave <3241 Yaniym > off
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > in the earth <0776 > erets > ,

: 8 [ Seek him ] that maketh <6213 <asah > the seven <3598

turneth <2015 haphak > the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death
<6757 tsalmaveth > into the morning <1242 boqer > , and maketh
the day <3117 yowm > dark <2821 chashak > with night <3915 layil

the sea <3220 yam > , and poureth <8210 shaphak > them out upon
the face <6440 paniym > of the earth <0776 >erets > : The LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] his name <8034 shem > :

: 9 That strengtheneth <1082 balag > the spoiled <7701 shod >
against <5921 <al > the strong <5794 <az > , so that the
spoiled <7701 shod > shall come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al >
the fortress <4013 mibtsar > .

: 10 They hate <8130 sane> > him that rebuketh < 3198 yakach >
in the gate <8179 sha<ar > , and they abhor <8581 ta<ab > him
that speaketh <1696 dabar > uprightly <8549 tamiym > .

: 11 Forasmuch <3282 ya<an > therefore <3651 ken > as your
treading <1318 bashac > [ is ] upon the poor <1800 dal > ,
and ye take <3947 laqach > from him burdens <4864 mas> eth > of
wheat <1250 bar > : ye have built <1129 banah > houses <1004
bayith > of hewn <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth > , but ye
shall not dwell <3427 yashab > in them ; ye have planted <5193
nata< > pleasant <2531 chemed > vineyards <3754 kerem > , but
ye shall not drink <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > of them .

: 12 For I know <3045 yada< > your manifold <7227 rab >
transgressions <6588 pesha< > and your mighty <6099 <atsuwm >
sins <2403 chatta>ah > : they afflict <6887 tsarar > the just
<6662 tsaddiyq > , they take <3947 laqach > a bribe <3724
kopher > , and they turn <5186 natah > aside <5186 natah > the
poor <34> in the gate <8179 sha<ar > [ from their right ] .

: 13 Therefore <3651 ken > the prudent <7919 sakal > shall
keep silence <1826 damam > in that time <6256 <eth > ; for it
[ is ] an evil <7451 ra< > time <6256 <eth > .

: 14 Seek <1875 darash > good <2896 towb > , and not evil
<7451 ra< > , that ye may live <2421 chayah > : and so <3651

<0559 >amar > .

: 15 Hate <8130 sane> > the evil <7451 ra< > , and love <0157
>ahab > the good <2896 towb > , and establish < 3322 yatsag >
judgment <4941 mishpat > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > : it may be
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > will be gracious <2587 channuwn > unto the
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph > .

: 16 . Therefore <3651 ken > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , the
God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , the Lord <0136

<4553 micepd > [ shall be ] in all <3605 kol > streets <7339

the highways <2351 chuwts > , Alas <1930 how > ! alas <1930

: 17 And in all <3605 kol > vineyards <3754 kerem > [ shall
be ] wailing <4553 micepd > : for I will pass <5674 <abar >
through <7130 qereb > thee , saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

: 18 Woe <1945 howy > unto you that desire <0183 > avah > the
day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ! to what <4100
mah > end [ is ] it for you ? the day <3117 yowm > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] darkness <2822 choshek > , and
not light <0216 >owr > .

: 19 As if <0834 >aher > a man <0376 >iysh > did flee <5127

<6293 paga< > him ; or went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004

<5921 <al > the wall <7023 qiyr > , and a serpent <5175 nachash

: 20 [ Shall ] not the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD < 3068
Y@hovah > [ be ] darkness <2822 choshek > , and not light
<0216 >owr > ? even very <0651 >aphel > dark <0651 >aphel > ,
and no <3808 lo> > brightness <5051 nogahh > in it ?

: 21 . I hate <8130 sane> > , I despise <3988 ma>ac > your
feast <2282 chag > days , and I will not smell <7306 ruwach >
in your solemn <6116 <atsarah > assemblies <6116 < atsarah > .

: 22 Though ye offer <5927 <alah > me burnt <5930 <olah >
offerings and your meat offerings <4503 minchah > , I will not
accept <7521 ratsah > [ them ] : neither <3808 lo> > will I
regard <5027 nabat > the peace <8002 shelem > offerings of your
fat <4806 m@riy> > beasts <4806 m@riy> > .

: 23 Take <5493 cuwr > thou away <5493 cuwr > from me the
noise <1995 hamown > of thy songs <7892 shiyr > ; for I will
not hear <8085 shama< > the melody <2172 zimrah > of thy viols
<5035 nebel > .

: 24 But let judgment <4941 mishpat > run <1556 galal > down
as waters <4325 mayim > , and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > as
a mighty <0386 >eythan > stream <5158 nachal > .

: 25 Have ye offered <5066 nagash > unto me sacrifices <2077
zebach > and offerings <4503 minchah > in the wilderness <4057
midbar > forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > , O house
<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ?

: 26 But ye have borne <5375 nasa> > the tabernacle <5522
cikkuwth > of your Moloch <4432 Molek > and Chiun < 3594 Kiyuwn >
your images <6754 tselem > , the star <3556 kowkab > of your

then go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to Gath < 1661 Gath > of

: 3 Ye that put far away <5077 nadah > the evil <7451 ra< >
day <3117 yowm > , and cause the seat <7675 shebeth > of
violence <2555 chamac > to come <5066 nagash > near <5066 nagash

chief <7225 re>shiyth > ointments <8081 shemen > : but they are
not grieved <2470 chalah > for the affliction <7667 sheber > of
Joseph <3130 Yowceph > .

: 7 Therefore <3651 ken > now <6258 <attah > shall they go
captive <1540 galah > with the first <7218 ro>sh > that go
captive <1540 galah > , and the banquet <4797 mirzach > of them

<5558 celeph > ? will [ one ] plow <2790 charash > [ there ]
with oxen <1241 baqar > ? for ye have turned <2015 haphak >
judgment <4941 mishpat > into gall <7219 ro>sh > , and the
fruit <6529 p@riy > of righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > into
hemlock <3939 la<anah > :

: Amos 7

: 1 . Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD

: 10 . Then Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the priest < 3548 kohen

<3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel < 3478 Yisra>el > ,
saying <0559 >amar > , Amos <5986 <Amowc > hath conspired
<7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > thee in the midst <7130 qereb
> of the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > : the
land <0776 >erets > is not able <3201 yakol > to bear <3557 kuwl

: 11 For thus <3541 koh > Amos <5986 <Amowc > saith <0559
>amar > , Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > shall die < 4191 muwth > by
the sword <2719 chereb > , and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall
surely be led away captive <1540 galah > out of their own land
<0127 >adamah > .

: 12 Also Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > said <0559 > amar > unto
Amos <5986 <Amowc > , O thou seer <2374 chozeh > , go <3212
yalak > , flee <1272 barach > thee away into <0413 >el > the
land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and there <8033
sham > eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > , and prophesy
<5012 naba> > there <8033 sham > :

: 13 But prophesy <5012 naba> > not again <3254 yacaph > any
more <5750 <owd > at Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > : for it [ is
] the king s <4428 melek > chapel <4720 miqdash > , and it [
is ] the king s <4467 mamlakah > court <1004 bayith > .

: 14 Then answered <6030 <anah > Amos <5986 < Amowc > , and
said <0559 >amar > to Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > , I [ was ]
no <3808 lo> > prophet <5030 nabiy> > , neither <3808 lo> > [
was ] I a prophet s <5030 nabiy> > son <1121 ben > ; but I [
was ] an herdman <0951 bowker > , and a gatherer <1103 balac >
of sycomore <8256 shaqam > fruit :

: 15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > took <3947 laqach > me as I
followed <0310 >achar > the flock <6629 tso>n > , and the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me , Go <3212 yalak > ,
prophesy <5012 naba> > unto my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478
Yisra>el > .

: 16 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hear <8085 shama< > thou the
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : Thou sayest
<0559 >amar > , Prophesy <5012 naba> > not against <5921 <al >
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and drop <5197 nataph > not [ thy
word ] against <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Isaac
<3446 Yischaq > .

: 17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; Thy wife <0802 > ishshah > shall be
an harlot <2181 zanah > in the city <5892 <iyr > , and thy sons
<1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > shall fall <5307
naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > , and thy land < 0127
>adamah > shall be divided <2505 chalaq > by line < 2256 chebel >
; and thou shalt die <4191 muwth > in a polluted <2931 tame> >
land <0127 >adamah > : and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall surely
go into captivity <1540 galah > forth of his land <0127 >adamah

: Amos 8

: 1 . Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD
<3069 Y@hovih > shewed <7200 ra>ah > unto me : and behold <2009
hinneh > a basket <3619 k@lub > of summer <7019 qayits > fruit .

: 2 And he said <0559 >amar > , Amos <5986 < Amowc > , what
<4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ? And I said <0559 >amar >
, A basket <3619 k@lub > of summer <7019 qayits > fruit . Then
said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me , The end
<7093 qets > is come <0935 bow> > upon my people <5971 <am > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ; I will not again <3254 yacaph > pass
<5674 <abar > by them any more <5750 <owd > .

: 3 And the songs <7892 shiyr > of the temple <1964 heykal >
shall be howlings <3213 yalal > in that day <3117 yowm > ,
saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >
: [ there shall be ] many <7227 rab > dead <6297 peger >
bodies <6297 peger > in every <3605 kol > place < 4725 maqowm > ;
they shall cast <7993 shalak > [ them ] forth with silence
<2013 hacah > .

: 4 . Hear <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th > , O ye that
swallow <7602 sha>aph > up the needy <34> , even to make the
poor of the land <0776 >erets > to fail <7673 shabath > ,

: 5 Saying <0559 >amar > , When <4970 mathay > will the new
<2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh > be gone <5674 <abar > ,
that we may sell <7666 shabar > corn <7668 sheber > ? and the
sabbath <7676 shabbath > , that we may set <6605 pathach >
forth <6605 pathach > wheat <1250 bar > , making the ephah
<0374 >eyphah > small <6694 tsuwq > , and the shekel <8255
sheqel > great <1431 gadal > , and falsifying <5791 <avath >
the balances <3976 mo>zen > by deceit <4820 mirmah > ?

: 6 That we may buy <7069 qanah > the poor <1800 dal > for
silver <3701 keceph > , and the needy <34> for a pair of shoes
<5275 na<al > ; [ yea ] , and sell <7666 shabar > the refuse
<4651 mappal > of the wheat <1250 bar > ?

: 7 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sworn <7650 shaba< > by the
excellency <1347 ga>own > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , Surely I
will never forget <7911 shakach > any <3605 kol > of their works
<4639 ma<aseh > .

: 8 Shall not the land <0776 >erets > tremble <7264 ragaz >
for this <2063 zo>th > , and every <3605 kol > one mourn <56>
that dwelleth <3427 yashab > therein ? and it shall rise <5927

shall be cast <1644 garash > out and drowned <8248 shaqah > ,
as [ by ] the flood <2975 y@<or > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

: 9 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm > , saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 > Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih > , that I will cause the sun <8121 shemesh > to go
<0935 bow> > down at noon <6672 tsohar > , and I will darken
<2821 chashak > the earth <0776 >erets > in the clear <0216 >owr

: 10 And I will turn <2015 haphak > your feasts <2282 chag >
into mourning <60> , and all <3605 kol > your songs <7892 shiyr

<alah > up sackcloth <8242 saq > upon all <3605 kol > loins
<4975 mothen > , and baldness <7144 qorchah > upon every <3605

the mourning <60> of an only <3173 yachiyd > [ son ] , and
the end <0319 >achariyth > thereof as a bitter <4751 mar > day
<3117 yowm > .

: 11 . Behold <2009 hinneh > , the days <3117 yowm > come
<0935 bow> > , saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD
<3069 Y@hovih > , that I will send <7971 shalach > a famine
<7458 ra<ab > in the land <0776 >erets > , not a famine <7458
ra<ab > of bread <3899 lechem > , nor <3808 lo> > a thirst
<6772 tsama> > for water <4325 mayim > , but of hearing <8085
shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :

: 12 And they shall wander <5128 nuwa< > from sea < 3220 yam >
to sea <3220 yam > , and from the north <6828 tsaphown > even
to the east <4217 mizrach > , they shall run <7751 shuwt > to

: 13 In that day <3117 yowm > shall the fair <3303 yapheh >
virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > and young <0970 bachuwr > men faint
<5968 <alaph > for thirst <6772 tsama> > .

: 14 They that swear <7650 shaba< > by the sin < 0819 >ashmah >
of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > , and say <0559 >amar > , Thy god
<0430 >elohiym > , O Dan <1835 Dan > , liveth <2416 chay > ;
and , The manner <1870 derek > of Beersheba <0884 B@> er Sheba<

and never <3808 lo> > rise <6965 quwm > up again <5750 <owd > .

: Amos 9

: 1 . I saw <7200 ra>ah > the Lord <0136 > Adonay > standing
<5324 natsab > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > : and he said
<0559 >amar > , Smite <5221 nakah > the lintel <3730 kaphtor >
of the door , that the posts <5592 caph > may shake < 7493
ra<ash > : and cut <1214 batsa< > them in the head <7218 ro>sh

the last <0319 >achariyth > of them with the sword < 2719 chereb

nuwc > away , and he that escapeth <6412 paliyt > of them shall
not be delivered <4422 malat > .

: 2 Though <0518 >im > they dig <2864 chathar > into hell
<7585 sh@>owl > , thence <8033 sham > shall mine hand <3027 yad

<5927 <alah > up to heaven <8064 shamayim > , thence <8033 sham

: 3 And though <0518 >im > they hide <2244> themselves in the
top <7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > , I will search
<2664 chaphas > and take <3947 laqach > them out thence <8033
sham > ; and though <0518 >im > they be hid <5641 cathar > from
my sight <5869 <ayin > in the bottom <7172 qarqa< > of the sea
<3220 yam > , thence <8033 sham > will I command < 6680 tsavah >
the serpent <5175 nachash > , and he shall bite <5391 nashak >
them :

: 4 And though <0518 >im > they go <3212 yalak > into
captivity <7628 sh@biy > before <6440 paniym > their enemies
<0341 >oyeb > , thence <8033 sham > will I command <6680 tsavah

them : and I will set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 < ayin > upon
them for evil <7451 ra< > , and not for good <2896 towb > .

: 5 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > [ is ] he that toucheth <5060 naga< > the land
<0776 >erets > , and it shall melt <4127 muwg > , and all
<3605 kol > that dwell therein shall mourn <56> : and it shall
rise <5927 <alah > up wholly <3605 kol > like a flood <2975
y@<or > ; and shall be drowned <8248 shaqah > , as [ by ]
the flood <2975 y@<or > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > .

: 6 [ It is ] he that buildeth <1129 banah > his stories
<4609 ma<alah > in the heaven <8064 shamayim > , and hath
founded <3245 yacad > his troop <92> in the earth < 0776 >erets >
; he that calleth <7121 qara> > for the waters <4325 mayim > of
the sea <3220 yam > , and poureth <8210 shaphak > them out upon
the face <6440 paniym > of the earth <0776 >erets > : The LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] his name <8034 shem > .

: 7 [ Are ] ye not as children <1121 ben > of the Ethiopians
<3569 Kuwshiy > unto me , O children <1121 ben > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > ? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
. Have not I brought <5927 <alah > up Israel <3478 Yisra>el >
out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ? and
the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > from Caphtor <3731 Kaphtor > ,
and the Syrians <0758 >Aram > from Kir <7024 Qiyr > ?

: 8 Behold <2009 hinneh > , the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > [ are ] upon the
sinful <2401 chata>ah > kingdom <4467 mamlakah > , and I will
destroy <8045 shamad > it from off <5921 <al > the face <6440
paniym > of the earth <0127 >adamah > ; saving < 0657 >ephec >
that I will not utterly destroy <8045 shamad > the house <1004
bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > , saith <5002 n@>um > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 9 For , lo <2009 hinneh > , I will command <6680 tsavah > ,
and I will sift <5128 nuwa< > the house <1004 bayith > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > among all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy

k@barah > , yet shall not the least grain <6872 ts@rowr > fall
<5307 naphal > upon the earth <0776 >erets > .

: 10 All <3605 kol > the sinners <2400 chatta> > of my people
<5971 <am > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,
which say <0559 >amar > , The evil <7451 ra< > shall not
overtake <5066 nagash > nor prevent <6923 qadam > us .

: 11 . In that day <3117 yowm > will I raise <6965 quwm > up
the tabernacle <5521 cukkah > of David <1732 David > that is
fallen <5307 naphal > , and close <1443 gadar > up the breaches
<6556 perets > thereof ; and I will raise <6965 quwm > up his
ruins <2034 hariycah > , and I will build <1129 banah > it as
in the days <3117 yowm > of old <5769 <owlam > :

: 12 That they may possess <3423 yarash > the remnant < 7611

: 13 Behold <2009 hinneh > , the days <3117 yowm > come <0935

the plowman <2790 charash > shall overtake <5066 nagash > the
reaper <7114 qatsar > , and the treader <1869 darak > of grapes
<6025 <enab > him that soweth <4900 mashak > seed <2233 zera< > ;
and the mountains <2022 har > shall drop <5197 nataph > sweet
<6071 <aciyc > wine <6071 <aciyc > , and all <3605 kol > the
hills <1389 gib<ah > shall melt <4127 muwg > .

: 14 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the
captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el > , and they shall build <1129 banah > the waste
<8074 shamem > cities <5892 <iyr > , and inhabit <3427 yashab >
[ them ] ; and they shall plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754

thereof ; they shall also make <6213 <asah > gardens <1593
gannah > , and eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > of

pulled <5428 nathash > up out of their land <0127 > adamah >
which <0834 >aher > I have given <5414 nathan > them , saith
