1The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, whoH834 was among the 1sheepherdersH5349 from 2TekoaH8620, whichH834 he 3envisionedH2372 in visionsH2372 concerningH5921 IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of 4UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of 5JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of JoashH3060, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, two yearsH8141 beforeH6440 the 6earthquakeH7494.2He saidH559, “The 7LordH3068 roarsH7580 from ZionH6726 And from JerusalemH3389 He uttersH5414 His voiceH6963; And the shepherds’H7462 8pastureH4999 groundsH4999 mournH56, And the 910summitH7218 of CarmelH3760 driesH3001 up.”

3ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For 11threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of 12DamascusH1834 and for fourH702 I will not 13revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with implements of sharpH2742 ironH1270.4So I will sendH7971 fireH784 upon the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371 And it will consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of 14Ben-hadadH1130.5I will also 15breakH7665 the gate barH1280 of DamascusH1834, And cutH3772 offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from the 16valleyH1237 of AvenH206, And him who holdsH8551 the scepterH7626, from Beth-edenH1040; So the peopleH5971 of AramH758 will goH1540 exiledH1540 to 17KirH7024,” SaysH559 the LordH3068.

6ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of 18GazaH5804 and for fourH702 I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they deportedH1540 an entireH8003 populationH1546 To 19deliverH5462 it up to EdomH112.7So I will sendH7971 fireH784 upon the wallH2346 of GazaH5804 And it will consumeH398 her citadelsH759.8I will also cutH3772 offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from 20AshdodH795, And him who holdsH8551 the scepterH7626, from 21AshkelonH831; I will even 22unleashH7725 My 23powerH3027 upon EkronH6138, And the remnantH7611 of the 24PhilistinesH6430 will perishH6,” SaysH559 the LordH136 25GodH3068.

9ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of 26TyreH6865 and for fourH702 I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they deliveredH5462 up an entireH8003 populationH1546 to EdomH112 And did not rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of 2728brotherhoodH251.10So I will 29sendH7971 fireH784 upon the wallH2346 of TyreH6865 And it will consumeH398 her citadelsH759.”

11ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of 30EdomH112 and for fourH702 I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 he 31pursuedH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, While he 32stifledH7843 his compassionH7356; His angerH639 also 33toreH2963 continuallyH5703, And he maintainedH8104 his furyH5678 foreverH5331.12So I will sendH7971 fireH784 upon 34TemanH8487 And it will consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of BozrahH1224.”

13ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the sonsH1121 of 35AmmonH5983 and for fourH702 I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they 36rippedH1234 openH1234 the pregnantH2030 womenH2030 of GileadH1568 In orderH4616 to 37enlargeH7337 their bordersH1366.14So I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of 38RabbahH7237 And it will consumeH398 her citadelsH759 Amid 3940warH8643 criesH8643 on the dayH3117 of battleH4421, And a 41stormH5591 on the dayH3117 of tempestH5492.15Their 42kingH4428 will goH1980 into exileH1473, He and his princesH8269 togetherH3164,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
