AM-1:1 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.
AM-1:2 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.
AM-1:3 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:
AM-1:4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which
shall devour
the palaces of Benhadad.
AM-1:5 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.
AM-1:6 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:
AM-1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall
devour the
palaces thereof:
AM-1:8 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.
AM-1:9 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:
AM-1:10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall
devour the
palaces thereof.
AM-1:11 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:
AM-1:12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour
the palaces of
Bozrah.
AM-1:13 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:
AM-1:14 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:
AM-1:15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his
princes together,
saith the LORD.
AM-2:1 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:
AM-2:2 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:
AM-2:3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and
will slay all
the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.
AM-2:4 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:
AM-2:5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour
the palaces of
Jerusalem.
AM-2:6 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;
AM-2:7 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:
AM-2:8 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.
AM-2:9 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.
AM-2:10 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.
AM-2:11 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.
AM-2:12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded
the prophets,
saying, Prophesy not.
AM-2:13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed
[that is] full
of sheaves.
AM-2:14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and
the strong
shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver
himself:
AM-2:15 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.
AM-2:16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee
away naked in
that day, saith the LORD.
AM-3:1 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,
AM-3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth:
therefore I
will punish you for all your iniquities.
AM-3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
AM-3:4 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?
AM-3:5 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?
AM-3:6 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]?
AM-3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his
secret unto
his servants the prophets.
AM-3:8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD
hath spoken, who
can but prophesy?
AM-3:9 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.
AM-3:10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store
up violence
and robbery in their palaces.
AM-3:11 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.
AM-3:12 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.
AM-3:13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the
Lord GOD, the
God of hosts,
AM-3:14 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.
AM-3:15 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.
AM-4:1 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.
AM-4:2 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.
AM-4:3 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.
AM-4:4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply
transgression; and
bring your sacrifices every morning, [and] your tithes after
three years:
AM-4:5 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.
AM-4:6 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.
AM-4:7 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.
AM-4:8 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.
AM-4:9 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.
AM-4:10 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.
AM-4:11 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.
AM-4:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and]
because I will do
this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.
AM-4:13 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.
AM-5:1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even] a
lamentation, O
house of Israel.
AM-5:2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise:
she is
forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up.
AM-5:3 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.
AM-5:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye
me, and ye
shall live:
AM-5:5 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.
AM-5:6 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.
AM-5:7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off
righteousness in the
earth,
AM-5:8 [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:
AM-5:9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so
that the spoiled
shall come against the fortress.
AM-5:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor
him that
speaketh uprightly.
AM-5:11 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.
AM-5:12 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].
AM-5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time;
for it [is] an
evil time.
AM-5:14 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.
AM-5:15 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.
AM-5:16 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.
AM-5:17 And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing: for I will pass
through
thee, saith the LORD.
AM-5:18 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.
AM-5:19 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.
AM-5:20 [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not
light? even
very dark, and no brightness in it?
AM-5:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell
in your
solemn assemblies.
AM-5:22 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.
AM-5:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I
will not hear
the melody of thy viols.
AM-5:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness
as a mighty
stream.
AM-5:25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the
wilderness
forty years, O house of Israel?
AM-5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and
Chiun your
images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.
AM-5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond
Damascus,
saith the LORD, whose name [is] The God of hosts.
AM-6:1 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!
AM-6:2 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?
AM-6:3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of
violence to
come near;
AM-6:4 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;
AM-6:5 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to
themselves
instruments of music, like David;
AM-6:6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the
chief
ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
AM-6:7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that
go captive,
and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be
removed.
AM-6:8 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.
AM-6:9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one
house, that
they shall die.
AM-6:10 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
