1The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, whoH834 was among the 1sheepherdersH5349 from 2TekoaH8620, whichH834 he sawH2372 in visions concerningH5921 IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of 3UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of 4JeroboamH3379 sonH1121 of JoashH3060, kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, two yearsH8141 beforeH6440 the 5earthquakeH7494.2And he saidH559, “The 6LordH3068 roarsH7580 from ZionH6726, And from JerusalemH3389 He uttersH5414 His voiceH6963; And the shepherds’H7462 7pastureH4999 groundsH4999 mournH56, And the 89summitH7218 of CarmelH3760 driesH3001 upH3001.”

3ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For 10threeH7969 offensesH6588 of 11DamascusH1834, and for fourH702, I will not 12revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with ironH1270 sledgesH2742.4So I will sendH7971 fireH784 upon the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371, And it will consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of 13Ben-hadadH1130.5I will also 14breakH7665 the gate barH1280 of DamascusH1834, And eliminateH3772 every inhabitantH3427 from the 15ValleyH1237 of AvenH206, As well as him who holdsH8551 the scepterH7626, from Beth-edenH1040; So the peopleH5971 of AramH758 will be exiledH1540 to 16KirH7024,” SaysH559 the LordH3068.

6ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For threeH7969 offensesH6588 of 17GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they ledH1540 intoH1540 exileH1540 an entireH8003 populationH1546 To 18turnH5462 them overH5462 to EdomH112.7So I will sendH7971 fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804 And it will consumeH398 her citadelsH759.8I will also eliminateH3772 every inhabitantH3427 from 19AshdodH795, As well as him who holdsH8551 the scepterH7626, from 20AshkelonH831; And I will directH7725 My 21powerH3027 againstH5921 EkronH6138, And the remnantH7611 of the 22PhilistinesH6430 will perishH6,” SaysH559 the LordH136 23GodH3068.

9ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For threeH7969 offensesH6588 of 24TyreH6865, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they turnedH5462 an entireH8003 populationH1546 overH5462 to EdomH112 And did not rememberH2142 the covenantH1285 of 2526brotherhoodH251.10So I will 27sendH7971 fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyreH6865, And it will consumeH398 her citadelsH759.”

11ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For threeH7969 offensesH6588 of 28EdomH112, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 he 29pursuedH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719 And stifledH7843 his compassionH7356; His angerH639 also 30toreH2963 continuallyH5703, And he maintainedH8104 his furyH5678 foreverH5331.12So I will sendH7971 fireH784 upon 31TemanH8487 And it will consumeH398 the citadelsH759 of BozrahH1224.”

13ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 the LordH3068 saysH559: “For threeH7969 offensesH6588 of the sonsH1121 of 32AmmonH5983, and for fourH702, I will not revokeH7725 its punishment, BecauseH5921 they 33rippedH1234 openH1234 the pregnantH2030 womenH2030 of GileadH1568 InH4616 orderH4616 toH4616 34enlargeH7337 their bordersH1366.14So I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of 35RabbahH7237, And it will consumeH398 her citadelsH759 Amid 3637warH8643 criesH8643 on the dayH3117 of battleH4421, And amid a 38stormH5591 on the dayH3117 of tempestH5492.15Their 39kingH4428 will goH1980 into exileH1473, He and his princesH8269 togetherH3164,” saysH559 the LordH3068.
