Amos 4

American Standard Version

1HearH8085 this wordH1697, ye kine of BashanH1316, that are in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, that oppressH6231 the poor, that crushH7533 the needyH34, that sayH559 unto their lordsH113, BringH935, and let us drinkH8354. 2The LordH136 Jehovah hath swornH7650 by his holinessH6944, that, lo, the daysH3117 shall comeH935 upon you, that they shall takeH5375 you awayH5375 with hooks, and your residue with fish-hooks. 3And ye shall goH3318 out at the breachesH6556, every one straight before her; and ye shall castH7993 yourselves into Harmon, saith Jehovah.

4ComeH935 to Beth-el, and transgressH6586; to GilgalH1537, and multiplyH7235 transgression; and bringH935 your sacrificesH2077 every morningH1242, and your tithesH4643 every threeH7969 daysH3117; 5and offer a sacrifice of thanksgivingH8426 of that which is leavenedH2557, and proclaimH7121 freewill-offerings and publish them: for this pleaseth you, O ye children of IsraelH3478, saith the LordH136 Jehovah.

6And I alsoH1571 have givenH5414 you cleanness of teethH8127 in all your citiesH5892, and want of breadH3899 in all your placesH4725; yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saith Jehovah. 7And I alsoH1571 have withholden the rainH1653 from you, whenH834 there were yetH5750 threeH7969 monthsH2320 to the harvestH7105; and I caused it to rainH1653 upon oneH259 cityH5892, and caused it not to rainH1653 upon another cityH5892: oneH259 piece was rainedH4305 upon, and the piece whereupon it rainedH4305 not witheredH3001. 8So twoH8147 or threeH7969 citiesH5892 wanderedH5128 unto oneH259 cityH5892 to drinkH8354 waterH4325, and were not satisfiedH7646: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saith Jehovah. 9I have smitten you with blasting and mildewH3420: the multitude of your gardensH1593 and your vineyardsH3754 and your fig-trees and your olive-trees hath the palmer-worm devouredH398: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saith Jehovah. 10I have sentH7971 among you the pestilenceH1698 after the manner of EgyptH4714: your youngH970 menH970 have I slainH2026 with the swordH2719, and have carried awayH7971 your horsesH5483; and I have made the stenchH889 of your campH4264 to comeH5927 up even into your nostrilsH639: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saith Jehovah. 11I have overthrown cities among you, as when GodH430 overthrewH2015 SodomH5467 and GomorrahH6017, and ye wereH1961 as a brand plucked out of the burningH8316: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saith Jehovah.

12ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 will I do unto thee, O IsraelH3478; and because I will do this unto thee, prepareH3559 to meet thy GodH430, O IsraelH3478. 13For, lo, he that formeth the mountainsH2022, and createth the windH7307, and declareth unto manH120 what is his thought; that maketh the morning darknessH5890, and treadeth upon the highH1116 placesH1116 of the earthH776—Jehovah, the GodH430 of hostsH6635, is his nameH8034.
