AMO 01:01 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen 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.

AMO 01:02 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.

AMO 01:03 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:

AMO 01:04 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.

AMO 01:05 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.

AMO 01:06 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:

AMO 01:07 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which
shall devour the palaces thereof:

AMO 01:08 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.

AMO 01:09 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:

AMO 01:10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which
shall devour the palaces thereof.

AMO 01:11 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:

AMO 01:12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour
the palaces of Bozrah.

AMO 01:13 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:

AMO 01:14 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:

AMO 01:15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his
princes together, saith the LORD.

AMO 02:01 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab,
and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof;
because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

AMO 02:02 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour
the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with
shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet:

AMO 02:03 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof,
and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

AMO 02:04 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of
Judah, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment]
thereof; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and
have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to
err, after the which their fathers have walked:

AMO 02:05 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall
devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

AMO 02:06 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of
Israel, and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment]
thereof; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the
poor for a pair of shoes;

AMO 02:07 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of
the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his
father will go in unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:

AMO 02:08 And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to
pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned
[in] the house of their god.

AMO 02:09 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height
[was] like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the
oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from
beneath.

AMO 02:10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led
you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of
the Amorite.

AMO 02:11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of
your young men for Nazarites. [Is it] not even thus, O ye
children of Israel? saith the LORD.

AMO 02:12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and
commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

AMO 02:13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed
[that is] full of sheaves.

AMO 02:14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and
the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the
mighty deliver himself:

AMO 02:15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he
that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither
shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

AMO 02:16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall
flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.

AMO 03:01 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you,
O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought
up from the land of Egypt, saying,

AMO 03:02 You only have I known of all the families of the
earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

AMO 03:03 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

AMO 03:04 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?
will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

AMO 03:05 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no
gin [is] for him? shall [one] take up a snare from the earth,
and have taken nothing at all?

AMO 03:06 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people
not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath
not done [it]?

AMO 03:07 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth
his secret unto his servants the prophets.

AMO 03:08 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD
hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

AMO 03:09 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces
in the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the
mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst
thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.

AMO 03:10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who
store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

AMO 03:11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary
[there shall be] even round about the land; and he shall bring
down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

AMO 03:12 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of
the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall
the children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the
corner of a bed, and in Damascus [in] a couch.

AMO 03:13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the
Lord GOD, the God of hosts,

AMO 03:14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions
of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and
the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

AMO 03:15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer
house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great
houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.

AMO 04:01 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that [are] in the
mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the
needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

AMO 04:02 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo,
the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with
hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

AMO 04:03 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every [cow at
that which is] before her; and ye shall cast [them] into the
palace, saith the LORD.

AMO 04:04 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply
transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and]
your tithes after three years:

AMO 04:05 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven,
and proclaim [and] publish the free offerings: for this liketh
you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

AMO 04:06 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all
your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye
not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AMO 04:07 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when
[there were] yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to
rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city:
one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not
withered.

AMO 04:08 So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to
drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not
returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AMO 04:09 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when
your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your
olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured [them]: yet have
ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AMO 04:10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner
of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have
taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps
to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me,
saith the LORD.

AMO 04:11 I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew
Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of
the burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AMO 04:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and]
because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O
Israel.

AMO 04:13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth
the wind, and declareth unto man what [is] his thought, that
maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places
of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, [is] his name.

AMO 05:01 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even]
a lamentation, O house of Israel.

AMO 05:02 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more
rise: she is forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise
her up.

AMO 05:03 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out
[by] a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went
forth [by] an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.

AMO 05:04 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel,
Seek ye me, and ye shall live:

AMO 05:05 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass
not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and
Bethel shall come to nought.

AMO 05:06 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out
like fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and [there
be] none to quench [it] in Bethel.

AMO 05:07 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off
righteousness in the earth,

AMO 05:08 [Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and
turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day
dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and
poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his
name:

AMO 05:09 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so
that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

AMO 05:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they
abhor him that speaketh uprightly.

AMO 05:11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading [is] upon the
poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built
houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have
planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

AMO 05:12 For I know your manifold transgressions, and your
mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they
turn aside the poor in the gate [from their right].

AMO 05:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time;
for it [is] an evil time.

AMO 05:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the
LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

AMO 05:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish
judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will
be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

AMO 05:16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith
thus; Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in
all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman
to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

AMO 05:17 And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing: for I will
pass through thee, saith the LORD.

AMO 05:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what
end [is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not
light.

AMO 05:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him;
or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a
serpent bit him.

AMO 05:20 [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and
not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

AMO 05:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not
smell in your solemn assemblies.

AMO 05:22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat
offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I regard the
peace offerings of your fat beasts.

AMO 05:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I
will not hear the melody of thy viols.

AMO 05:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and
righteousness as a mighty stream.

AMO 05:25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in
the wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

AMO 05:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and
Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to
yourselves.

AMO 05:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity
beyond Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name [is] The God of
hosts.

AMO 06:01 Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in
the mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel came!

AMO 06:02 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye
to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines:
[be they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater
than your border?

AMO 06:03 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat
of violence to come near;

AMO 06:04 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves
upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the
calves out of the midst of the stall;

AMO 06:05 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to
themselves instruments of music, like David;

AMO 06:06 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with
the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction
of Joseph.

AMO 06:07 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first
that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched
themselves shall be removed.

AMO 06:08 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD
the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his
palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is
therein.

AMO 06:09 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in
one house, that they shall die.

AMO 06:10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that
burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall
say unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet
[any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold
thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

AMO 06:11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite
the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

AMO 06:12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow
[there] with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and
the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:

AMO 06:13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say,
Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

AMO 06:14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O
house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall
afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the
wilderness.

AMO 07:01 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me; and, behold,
he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of
the latter growth; and, lo, [it was] the latter growth after the
king's mowings.

AMO 07:02 And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end
of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD,
forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is]
small.

AMO 07:03 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith
the LORD.

AMO 07:04 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and, behold,
the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the
great deep, and did eat up a part.

AMO 07:05 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by
whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.

AMO 07:06 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be,
saith the Lord GOD.

AMO 07:07 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a
wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

AMO 07:08 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And
I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a
plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again
pass by them any more:

AMO 07:09 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and
the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise
against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

AMO 07:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam
king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the
midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all
his words.

AMO 07:11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own
land.

AMO 07:12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee
thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and
prophesy there:

AMO 07:13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it
[is] the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.

AMO 07:14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no
prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman,
and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

AMO 07:15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the
LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

AMO 07:16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou
sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word]
against the house of Isaac.

AMO 07:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an
harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by
the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt
die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into
captivity forth of his land.

AMO 08:01 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and behold a
basket of summer fruit.

AMO 08:02 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A
basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is
come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any
more.

AMO 08:03 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that
day, saith the Lord GOD: [there shall be] many dead bodies in
every place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.

AMO 08:04 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to
make the poor of the land to fail,

AMO 08:05 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may
sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making
the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the
balances by deceit?

AMO 08:06 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy
for a pair of shoes; [yea], and sell the refuse of the wheat?

AMO 08:07 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob,
Surely I will never forget any of their works.

AMO 08:08 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one
mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a
flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as [by] the flood
of Egypt.

AMO 08:09 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord
GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will
darken the earth in the clear day:

AMO 08:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all
your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon
all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as
the mourning of an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter
day.

AMO 08:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I
will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a
thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

AMO 08:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the
word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].

AMO 08:13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men
faint for thirst.

AMO 08:14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy
god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even
they shall fall, and never rise up again.

AMO 09:01 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,
Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut
them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them
with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and
he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

AMO 09:02 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand
take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring
them down:

AMO 09:03 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel,
I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid
from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command
the serpent, and he shall bite them:

AMO 09:04 And though they go into captivity before their
enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them:
and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

AMO 09:05 And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the
land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn:
and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned,
as [by] the flood of Egypt.

AMO 09:06 [It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven,
and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the
waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the
earth: The LORD [is] his name.

AMO 09:07 [Are] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O
children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel
out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and
the Syrians from Kir?

AMO 09:08 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the
sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the
earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,
saith the LORD.

AMO 09:09 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of
Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve,
yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

AMO 09:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

AMO 09:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David
that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will
raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

AMO 09:12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all
the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that
doeth this.

AMO 09:13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the
plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him
that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and
all the hills shall melt.

AMO 09:14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of
Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit
[them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine
thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

AMO 09:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall
no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them,
saith the LORD thy God.
