1The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, who was among the herdmen of TekoaH8620, whichH834 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 beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494. 2And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 shall roarH7580 from ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the pasturesH4999 of the shepherdsH7462 shall mournH56, and the topH7218 of CarmelH3760 shall witherH3001. 3ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 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 palacesH759 of Ben-hadadH1130. 5And I will breakH7665 the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cutH3772 offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from the valleyH1237 of AvenH206, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the houseH1004 of EdenH5730: and the peopleH5971 of SyriaH758 shall goH1540 intoH1540 captivityH1540 unto KirH7024, saith the LORDH3068. 6ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 they carriedH1540 awayH7725 captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 peopleH3808, to deliverH5462 them upH5921 to EdomH123: 7But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof: 8And I will cutH3772 offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdeth the sceptre from AshkelonH831; and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 againstH5921 EkronH6138, and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saith the LordH136 GODH136. 9ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyreH6865, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 they deliveredH5462 upH5921 the wholeH8003 peopleH3808 to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 notH3808 the brotherly covenantH1285: 10but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyreH6865, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof. 11ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 he didH3808 pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and didH3808 cast offH5921 allH5331 pity, and his angerH639 didH3808 tearH2963 perpetuallyH5331, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5703: 12but I will sendH7971 a fireH784 uponH784 TemanH8487, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BozrahH1224. 13ThusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, yea, for fourH702, I will notH3808 turnH7725 awayH7725 the punishment thereof; becauseH5921 they have rippedH1234 upH5921 the womenH2030 with childH2030 of GileadH1568, that they might enlargeH7337 their borderH1366: 14But I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of Rabbath and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof, with shoutingH8643 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, with a tempestH5591 in the dayH3117 of the whirlwind: 15and their kingH4428 shall goH1980 intoH1980 captivity, he and his princesH8269 togetherH3162, saith the LORDH3068.
