Amos Chapter 1

1The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, who wasH1961 among the herdsmen of TekoaH8620, which he sawH2372 concerning IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, two yearsH8141 before the earthquakeH7494.

2And he saidH559, Jehovah will roarH7580 from ZionH6726, and utter his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the pastures of the shepherdsH7462 shall mournH56, and the topH7218 of CarmelH3760 shall witherH3001.

3ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with threshingH1758 instruments of ironH1270. 4But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 into the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371, and it shall devourH398 the palaces of Ben-hadadH1130. 5And I will breakH7665 the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cutH3772 off the inhabitantH3427 from the valleyH1237 of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the houseH1004 of Eden; and the peopleH5971 of Syria shall goH1540 into captivity unto KirH7024, saith Jehovah.

6ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried awayH7725 captive the whole people, to deliverH5462 them up to EdomH123. 7But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, and it shall devourH398 the palaces thereof. 8And I will cutH3772 off the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdeth the sceptre from AshkelonH831; and I will turnH7725 my handH3027 against EkronH6138; and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.

9ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyreH6865, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they deliveredH5462 up the whole people to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherly covenantH1285. 10But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyreH6865, and it shall devourH398 the palaces thereof.

11ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast off all pity, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetually, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5703. 12But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon TemanH8487, and it shall devourH398 the palaces of BozrahH1224.

13ThusH3541 saith Jehovah: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the children of AmmonH5983, yea, for fourH702, I will not turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of GileadH1568, that they may enlargeH7337 their borderH1366. 14But I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of RabbahH7237, and it shall devourH398 the palaces thereof, with shoutingH8643 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, with a tempestH5591 in the dayH3117 of the whirlwind; 15and their kingH4428 shall goH1980 into captivity, he and his princesH8269 togetherH3162, saith Jehovah.
