Amos 1

Judgment on Neighbor Nations

1The words of Amos, who was among the 1sheepherders from 2Tekoa, which he 3envisioned in visions concerning Israel in the days of 4Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of 5Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the 6earthquake.2He said, “The 7Lord roars from Zion And from Jerusalem He utters His voice; And the shepherds’ 8pasture grounds mourn, And the 910summit of Carmel dries up.”

3Thus says the Lord, “For 11three transgressions of 12Damascus and for four I will not 13revoke its punishment, Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron.4So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael And it will consume the citadels of 14Ben-hadad.5I will also 15break the gate bar of Damascus, And cut off the inhabitant from the 16valley of Aven, And him who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden; So the people of Aram will go exiled to 17Kir,” Says the Lord.

6Thus says the Lord, “For three transgressions of 18Gaza and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they deported an entire population To 19deliver it up to Edom.7So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza And it will consume her citadels.8I will also cut off the inhabitant from 20Ashdod, And him who holds the scepter, from 21Ashkelon; I will even 22unleash My 23power upon Ekron, And the remnant of the 24Philistines will perish,” Says the Lord 25God.

9Thus says the Lord, “For three transgressions of 26Tyre and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom And did not remember the covenant of 2728brotherhood.10So I will 29send fire upon the wall of Tyre And it will consume her citadels.”

11Thus says the Lord, “For three transgressions of 30Edom and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because he 31pursued his brother with the sword, While he 32stifled his compassion; His anger also 33tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever.12So I will send fire upon 34Teman And it will consume the citadels of Bozrah.”

13Thus says the Lord, “For three transgressions of the sons of 35Ammon and for four I will not revoke its punishment, Because they 36ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead In order to 37enlarge their borders.14So I will kindle a fire on the wall of 38Rabbah And it will consume her citadels Amid 3940war cries on the day of battle, And a 41storm on the day of tempest.15Their 42king will go into exile, He and his princes together,” says the Lord.
