1 The words1697 of Amos,5986 who834 was1961 among the herdsmen5349 of Tekoa,4480 8620 which834 he saw2372 concerning5921 Israel3478 in the days3117 of Uzziah5818 king4428 of Judah,3063 and in the days3117 of Jeroboam3379 the son1121 of Joash3101 king4428 of Israel,3478 two years8141 before6440 the earthquake.7494
2 And he said,559 The LORD3068 will roar7580 from Zion,4480 6726 and utter5414 his voice6963 from Jerusalem;4480 3389 and the habitations4999 of the shepherds7462 shall mourn,56 and the top7218 of Carmel3760 shall wither.3001
3 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Damascus,1834 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 they have threshed1758 853 Gilead1568 with threshing instruments2742 of iron:1270
4 But I will send7971 a fire784 into the house1004 of Hazael,2371 which shall devour398 the palaces759 of Ben-hadad.1130
5 I will break7665 also the bar1280 of Damascus,1834 and cut off3772 the inhabitant3427 from the plain4480 1237 of Aven,206 and him that holdeth8551 the scepter7626 from the house of Eden:4480 1040 and the people5971 of Syria758 shall go into captivity1540 unto Kir,7024 saith559 the LORD.3068
6 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Gaza,5804 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 they carried away captive1540 the whole8003 captivity,1546 to deliver them up5462 to Edom:123
7 But I will send7971 a fire784 on the wall2346 of Gaza,5804 which shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof:
8 And I will cut off3772 the inhabitant3427 from Ashdod,4480 795 and him that holdeth8551 the scepter7626 from Ashkelon,4480 831 and I will turn7725 mine hand3027 against5921 Ekron:6138 and the remnant7611 of the Philistines6430 shall perish,6 saith559 the Lord136 GOD.3069
9 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Tyrus,6865 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 they delivered up5462 the whole8003 captivity1546 to Edom,123 and remembered2142 not3808 the brotherly251 covenant:1285
10 But I will send7971 a fire784 on the wall2346 of Tyrus,6865 which shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof.
11 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Edom,123 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 he did pursue7291 his brother251 with the sword,2719 and did cast off7843 all pity,7356 and his anger639 did tear2963 perpetually,5703 and he kept8104 his wrath5678 forever:5331
12 But I will send7971 a fire784 upon Teman,8487 which shall devour398 the palaces759 of Bozrah.1224
13 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of the children1121 of Ammon,5983 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 they have ripped up1234 the women with child2030 of Gilead,1568 that4616 they might enlarge7337 853 their border:1366
14 But I will kindle3341 a fire784 in the wall2346 of Rabbah,7237 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 thereof, with shouting8643 in the day3117 of battle,4421 with a tempest5591 in the day3117 of the whirlwind:5492
15 And their king4428 shall go1980 into captivity,1473 he1931 and his princes8269 together,3162 saith559 the LORD.3068
1 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Moab,4124 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 he burned8313 the bones6106 of the king4428 of Edom123 into lime:7875
2 But I will send7971 a fire784 upon Moab,4124 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 of Kerioth:7152 and Moab4124 shall die4191 with tumult,7588 with shouting,8643 and with the sound6963 of the trumpet:7782
3 And I will cut off3772 the judge8199 from the midst4480 7130 thereof, and will slay2026 all3605 the princes8269 thereof with5973 him, saith559 the LORD.3068
4 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Judah,3063 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 they have despised3988 853 the law8451 of the LORD,3068 and have not3808 kept8104 his commandments,2706 and their lies3577 caused them to err,8582 after310 the which834 their fathers1 have walked:1980
5 But I will send7971 a fire784 upon Judah,3063 and it shall devour398 the palaces759 of Jerusalem.3389
6 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 For5921 three7969 transgressions6588 of Israel,3478 and for5921 four,702 I will not3808 turn away7725 the punishment thereof; because5921 they sold4376 the righteous6662 for silver,3701 and the poor34 for5668 a pair of shoes;5275
7 That pant7602 after5921 the dust6083 of the earth776 on the head7218 of the poor,1800 and turn aside5186 the way1870 of the meek:6035 and a man376 and his father1 will go in1980 unto413 the same maid,5291 to4616 profane2490 853 my holy6944 name:8034
8 And they lay themselves down5186 upon5921 clothes899 laid to pledge2254 by681 every3605 altar,4196 and they drink8354 the wine3196 of the condemned6064 in the house1004 of their god.430
9 Yet destroyed8045 I595 853 the Amorite567 before4480 6440 them, whose834 height1363 was like the height1363 of the cedars,730 and he1931 was strong2634 as the oaks;437 yet I destroyed8045 his fruit6529 from above,4480 4605 and his roots8328 from beneath.4480 8478
10 Also I595 brought you up5927 853 from the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 and led1980 you forty705 years8141 through the wilderness,4057 to possess3423 853 the land776 of the Amorite.567
11 And I raised up6965 of your sons4480 1121 for prophets,5030 and of your young men4480 970 for Nazarites.5139 Is it not369 even637 thus,2063 O ye children1121 of Israel?3478 saith5002 the LORD.3068
12 But ye gave 853 the Nazarites5139 wine3196 to drink;8248 and commanded6680 the prophets,5030 saying,559 Prophesy5012 not.3808
13 Behold,2009 I595 am pressed5781 under8478 you, as834 a cart5699 is pressed5781 that is full of4392 sheaves.5995
14 Therefore the flight4498 shall perish6 from the swift,4480 7031 and the strong2389 shall not3808 strengthen553 his force,3581 neither3808 shall the mighty1368 deliver4422 himself:5315
15 Neither3808 shall he stand5975 that handleth8610 the bow;7198 and he that is swift7031 of foot7272 shall not3808 deliver4422 himself: neither3808 shall he that rideth7392 the horse5483 deliver4422 himself.5315
16 And he that is courageous533 3820 among the mighty1368 shall flee away5127 naked6174 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 Hear8085 853 this2088 word1697 that834 the LORD3068 hath spoken1696 against5921 you, O children1121 of Israel,3478 against5921 the whole3605 family4940 which834 I brought up5927 from the land4480 776 of Egypt,4714 saying,559
2 You only7535 have I known3045 of all4480 3605 the families4940 of the earth:127 therefore5921 3651 I will punish6485 5921 you 853 for all3605 your iniquities.5771
3 Can two8147 walk1980 together,3162 except1115 518 they be agreed?3259
4 Will a lion738 roar7580 in the forest,3293 when he hath no369 prey?2964 will a young lion3715 cry5414 6963 out of his den,4480 4585 if518 he have taken3920 nothing?1115
5 Can a bird6833 fall5307 in5921 a snare6341 upon the earth,776 where no369 gin4170 is for him? shall one take up5927 a snare6341 from4480 the earth,127 and have taken nothing at all?3920 3808 3920
6 Shall a trumpet7782 be blown8628 in the city,5892 and the people5971 not3808 be afraid?2729 shall there be1961 evil7451 in a city,5892 and the LORD3068 hath not3808 done6213 it?
7 Surely3588 the Lord136 GOD3069 will do6213 nothing,3808 1697 but3588 518 he revealeth1540 his secret5475 unto413 his servants5650 the prophets.5030
8 The lion738 hath roared,7580 who4310 will not3808 fear?3372 the Lord136 GOD3069 hath spoken,1696 who4310 can but3808 prophesy?5012
9 Publish8085 in5921 the palaces759 at Ashdod,795 and in5921 the palaces759 in the land776 of Egypt,4714 and say,559 Assemble yourselves622 upon5921 the mountains2022 of Samaria,8111 and behold7200 the great7227 tumults4103 in the midst8432 thereof, and the oppressed6217 in the midst7130 thereof.
10 For they know3045 not3808 to do6213 right,5229 saith5002 the LORD,3068 who store up686 violence2555 and robbery7701 in their palaces.759
11 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 An adversary6862 there shall be even round about5439 the land;776 and he shall bring down3381 thy strength5797 from4480 thee, and thy palaces759 shall be spoiled.962
12 Thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 As834 the shepherd7462 taketh5337 out of the mouth4480 6310 of the lion738 two8147 legs,3767 or176 a piece915 of an ear;241 so3651 shall the children1121 of Israel3478 be taken out5337 that dwell3427 in Samaria8111 in the corner6285 of a bed,4296 and in Damascus1833 in a couch.6210
13 Hear8085 ye, and testify5749 in the house1004 of Jacob,3290 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 the God430 of hosts,6635
14 That3588 in the day3117 that I shall visit6485 the transgressions6588 of Israel3478 upon5921 him I will also visit6485 5921 the altars4196 of Bethel:1008 and the horns7161 of the altar4196 shall be cut off,1438 and fall5307 to the ground.776
15 And I will smite5221 the winter2779 house1004 with5921 the summer7019 house;1004 and the houses1004 of ivory8127 shall perish,6 and the great7227 houses1004 shall have an end,5486 saith5002 the LORD.3068
1 Hear8085 this2088 word,1697 ye kine6510 of Bashan,1316 that834 are in the mountain2022 of Samaria,8111 which oppress6231 the poor,1800 which crush7533 the needy,34 which say559 to their masters,113 Bring,935 and let us drink.8354
2 The Lord136 GOD3069 hath sworn7650 by his holiness,6944 that,3588 lo,2009 the days3117 shall come935 upon5921 you, that he will take you away5375 853 with hooks,6793 and your posterity319 with fishhooks.5518 1729
3 And ye shall go out3318 at the breaches,6556 every802 cow at that which is before5048 her; and ye shall cast7993 them into the palace,2038 saith5002 the LORD.3068
4 Come935 to Bethel,1008 and transgress;6586 at Gilgal1537 multiply7235 transgression;6586 and bring935 your sacrifices2077 every morning,1242 and your tithes4643 after three7969 years:3117
5 And offer a sacrifice6999 of thanksgiving8426 with4480 leaven,2557 and proclaim7121 and publish8085 the free offerings:5071 for3588 this3651 liketh157 you, O ye children1121 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD.3069
6 And I589 also1571 have given5414 you cleanness5356 of teeth8127 in all3605 your cities,5892 and want2640 of bread3899 in all3605 your places:4725 yet have ye not3808 returned7725 unto5704 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
7 And also1571 I595 have withheld4513 853 the rain1653 from4480 you, when there were yet5750 three7969 months2320 to the harvest:7105 and I caused it to rain4305 upon5921 one259 city,5892 and caused it not to rain4305 3808 upon5921 another259 city:5892 one259 piece2513 was rained upon,4305 and the piece2513 whereupon834 5921 it rained4305 not3808 withered.3001
8 So two8147 or three7969 cities5892 wandered5128 unto413 one259 city,5892 to drink8354 water;4325 but they were not3808 satisfied:7646 yet have ye not3808 returned7725 unto5704 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
9 I have smitten5221 you with blasting7711 and mildew:3420 when your gardens1593 and your vineyards3754 and your fig trees8384 and your olive trees2132 increased,7235 the palmerworm1501 devoured398 them: yet have ye not3808 returned7725 unto5704 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
10 I have sent7971 among you the pestilence1698 after the manner1870 of Egypt:4714 your young men970 have I slain2026 with the sword,2719 and have taken away5973 7628 your horses;5483 and I have made the stink889 of your camps4264 to come up5927 unto your nostrils:639 yet have ye not3808 returned7725 unto5704 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
11 I have overthrown2015 some of you, as God430 overthrew4114 853 Sodom5467 and Gomorrah,6017 and ye were1961 as a firebrand181 plucked5337 out of the burning:4480 8316 yet have ye not3808 returned7725 unto5704 me, saith5002 the LORD.3068
12 Therefore3651 thus3541 will I do6213 unto thee, O Israel:3478 and because6118 3588 I will do6213 this2063 unto thee, prepare3559 to meet7125 thy God,430 O Israel.3478
13 For,3588 lo,2009 he that formeth3335 the mountains,2022 and createth1254 the wind,7307 and declareth5046 unto man120 what4100 is his thought,7808 that maketh6213 the morning7837 darkness,5890 and treadeth1869 upon5921 the high places1116 of the earth,776 The LORD,3068 The God430 of hosts,6635 is his name.8034
1 Hear8085 ye 853 this2088 word1697 which834 I595 take up5375 against5921 you, even a lamentation,7015 O house1004 of Israel.3478
2 The virgin1330 of Israel3478 is fallen;5307 she shall no3808 more3254 rise:6965 she is forsaken5203 upon5921 her land;127 there is none369 to raise her up.6965
3 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the Lord136 GOD;3069 The city5892 that went out3318 by a thousand505 shall leave7604 a hundred,3967 and that which went forth3318 by a hundred3967 shall leave7604 ten,6235 to the house1004 of Israel.3478
4 For3588 thus3541 saith559 the LORD3068 unto the house1004 of Israel,3478 Seek1875 ye me, and ye shall live:2421
5 But seek1875 not408 Bethel,1008 nor3808 enter935 into Gilgal,1537 and pass5674 not3808 to Beer-sheba:884 for3588 Gilgal1537 shall surely go into captivity,1540 1540 and Bethel1008 shall come1961 to naught.205
6 Seek1875 853 the LORD,3068 and ye shall live;2421 lest6435 he break out6743 like fire784 in the house1004 of Joseph,3130 and devour398 it, and there be none369 to quench3518 it in Bethel.1008
7 Ye who turn2015 judgment4941 to wormwood,3939 and leave off5117 righteousness6666 in the earth,776
8 Seek him that maketh6213 the seven stars3598 and Orion,3685 and turneth2015 the shadow of death6757 into the morning,1242 and maketh the day dark2821 3117 with night:3915 that calleth7121 for the waters4325 of the sea,3220 and poureth them out8210 upon5921 the face6440 of the earth:776 The LORD3068 is his name:8034
9 That strengtheneth1082 the spoiled7701 against5921 the strong,5974 so that the spoiled7701 shall come935 against5921 the fortress.4013
10 They hate8130 him that rebuketh3198 in the gate,8179 and they abhor8581 him that speaketh1696 uprightly.8549
11 Forasmuch3282 therefore3651 as your treading1318 is upon5921 the poor,1800 and ye take3947 from4480 him burdens4864 of wheat:1250 ye have built1129 houses1004 of hewn stone,1496 but ye shall not3808 dwell3427 in them; ye have planted5193 pleasant2531 vineyards,3754 but ye shall not3808 drink8354 853 wine3196 of them.
12 For3588 I know3045 your manifold7227 transgressions6588 and your mighty6099 sins:2403 they afflict6887 the just,6662 they take3947 a bribe,3724 and they turn aside5186 the poor34 in the gate8179 from their right.
13 Therefore3651 the prudent7919 shall keep silence1826 in that1931 time;6256 for3588 it1931 is an evil7451 time.6256
14 Seek1875 good,2896 and not408 evil,7451 that4616 ye may live:2421 and so3651 the LORD,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 shall be1961 with854 you, as834 ye have spoken.559
15 Hate8130 the evil,7451 and love157 the good,2896 and establish3322 judgment4941 in the gate:8179 it may be194 that the LORD3068 God430 of hosts6635 will be gracious2603 unto the remnant7611 of Joseph.3130
16 Therefore3651 the LORD,3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 the Lord,136 saith559 thus;3541 Wailing4553 shall be in all3605 streets;7339 and they shall say559 in all3605 the highways,2351 Alas!1930 alas!1930 and they shall call7121 the husbandman406 to413 mourning,60 and such as are skillful3045 of lamentation5092 to413 wailing.4553
17 And in all3605 vineyards3754 shall be wailing:4553 for3588 I will pass5674 through7130 thee, saith559 the LORD.3068
18 Woe1945 unto you that desire183 853 the day3117 of the LORD!3068 to what end4100 is it2088 for you? the day3117 of the LORD3068 is darkness,2822 and not3808 light.216
19 As if834 a man376 did flee5127 from4480 6440 a lion,738 and a bear1677 met6293 him; or went935 into the house,1004 and leaned5564 his hand3027 on5921 the wall,7023 and a serpent5175 bit5391 him.
20 Shall not3808 the day3117 of the LORD3068 be darkness,2822 and not3808 light?216 even very dark,651 and no3808 brightness5051 in it?
21 I hate,8130 I despise3988 your feast days,2282 and I will not3808 smell7306 in your solemn assemblies.6116
22 Though3588 518 ye offer5927 me burnt offerings5930 and your meat offerings,4503 I will not3808 accept7521 them: neither3808 will I regard5027 the peace offerings8002 of your fat beasts.4806
23 Take thou away5493 from4480 5921 me the noise1995 of thy songs;7892 for I will not3808 hear8085 the melody2172 of thy viols.5035
24 But let judgment4941 run down1556 as waters,4325 and righteousness6666 as a mighty386 stream.5158
25 Have ye offered5066 unto me sacrifices2077 and offerings4503 in the wilderness4057 forty705 years,8141 O house1004 of Israel?3478
26 But ye have borne5375 853 the tabernacle5522 of your Moloch4432 and Chiun3594 your images,6754 the star3556 of your god,430 which834 ye made6213 to yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity1540 beyond4480 1973 Damascus,1834 saith559 the LORD,3068 whose name8034 is The God430 of hosts.6635
1 Woe1945 to them that are at ease7600 in Zion,6726 and trust982 in the mountain2022 of Samaria,8111 which are named5344 chief7225 of the nations,1471 to whom the house1004 of Israel3478 came!935
2 Pass5674 ye unto Calneh,3641 and see;7200 and from thence4480 8033 go1980 ye to Hamath2574 the great:7227 then go down3381 to Gath1661 of the Philistines:6430 be they better2896 than4480 these428 kingdoms?4467 or518 their border1366 greater7227 than your border?4480 1366
3 Ye that put far away5077 the evil7451 day,3117 and cause the seat7675 of violence2555 to come near;5066
4 That lie7901 upon5921 beds4296 of ivory,8127 and stretch5628 themselves upon5921 their couches,6210 and eat398 the lambs3733 out of the flock,4480 6629 and the calves5695 out of the midst4480 8432 of the stall;4770
5 That chant6527 to5921 the sound6310 of the viol,5035 and invent2803 to themselves instruments3627 of music,7892 like David;1732
6 That drink8354 wine3196 in bowls,4219 and anoint4886 themselves with the chief7225 ointments:8081 but they are not3808 grieved2470 for5921 the affliction7667 of Joseph.3130
7 Therefore3651 now6258 shall they go captive1540 with the first7218 that go captive,1540 and the banquet4797 of them that stretched5628 themselves shall be removed.5493
8 The Lord136 GOD3069 hath sworn7650 by himself,5315 saith5002 the LORD3068 the God430 of hosts,6635 I595 abhor8374 853 the excellency1347 of Jacob,3290 and hate8130 his palaces:759 therefore will I deliver up5462 the city5892 with all that is therein.4393
9 And it shall come to pass,1961 if518 there remain3498 ten6235 men376 in one259 house,1004 that they shall die.4191
10 And a man's uncle1730 shall take him up,5375 and he that burneth5635 him, to bring out3318 the bones6106 out of4480 the house,1004 and shall say559 unto him that834 is by the sides3411 of the house,1004 Is there yet5750 any with5973 thee? and he shall say,559 No.657 Then shall he say,559 Hold thy tongue:2013 for3588 we may not3808 make mention2142 of the name8034 of the LORD.3068
11 For,3588 behold,2009 the LORD3068 commandeth,6680 and he will smite5221 the great1419 house1004 with breaches,7447 and the little6996 house1004 with clefts.1233
12 Shall horses5483 run7323 upon the rock?5553 will one plow2790 there with oxen?1241 for3588 ye have turned2015 judgment4941 into gall,7219 and the fruit6529 of righteousness6666 into hemlock:3939
13 Ye which rejoice8055 in a thing of naught,1697 3808 which say,559 Have we not3808 taken3947 to us horns7161 by our own strength?2392
14 But,3588 behold,2009 I will raise up6965 against5921 you a nation,1471 O house1004 of Israel,3478 saith5002 the LORD3068 the God430 of hosts;6635 and they shall afflict3905 you from the entering in4480 935 of Hemath2574 unto5704 the river5158 of the wilderness.6160
1 Thus3541 hath the Lord136 GOD3069 showed7200 unto me; and, behold,2009 he formed3335 grasshoppers1462 in the beginning8462 of the shooting up5927 of the latter growth;3954 and, lo,2009 it was the latter growth3954 after310 the king's4428 mowings.1488
2 And it came to pass,1961 that when518 they had made an end3615 of eating398 853 the grass6212 of the land,776 then I said,559 O Lord136 GOD,3069 forgive,5545 I beseech thee:4994 by whom4310 shall Jacob3290 arise?6965 for3588 he1931 is small.6996
3 The LORD3068 repented5162 for5921 this:2063 It shall not3808 be,1961 saith559 the LORD.3068
4 Thus3541 hath the Lord136 GOD3069 showed7200 unto me: and, behold,2009 the Lord136 GOD3069 called7121 to contend7378 by fire,784 and it devoured398 853 the great7227 deep,8415 and did eat up398 853 a part.2506
5 Then said559 I, O Lord136 GOD,3069 cease,2308 I beseech thee:4994 by whom4310 shall Jacob3290 arise?6965 for3588 he1931 is small.6996
6 The LORD3068 repented5162 for5921 this:2063 This1931 also1571 shall not3808 be,1961 saith559 the Lord136 GOD.3069
7 Thus3541 he showed7200 me: and, behold,2009 the Lord136 stood5324 upon5921 a wall2346 made by a plumb line,594 with a plumb line594 in his hand.3027
8 And the LORD3068 said559 unto413 me, Amos,5986 what4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 A plumb line.594 Then said559 the Lord,136 Behold,2009 I will set7760 a plumb line594 in the midst7130 of my people5971 Israel:3478 I will not3808 again3254 pass5674 by them any more:5750
9 And the high places1116 of Isaac3446 shall be desolate,8074 and the sanctuaries4720 of Israel3478 shall be laid waste;2717 and I will rise6965 against5921 the house1004 of Jeroboam3379 with the sword.2719
10 Then Amaziah558 the priest3548 of Bethel1008 sent7971 to413 Jeroboam3379 king4428 of Israel,3478 saying,559 Amos5986 hath conspired7194 against5921 thee in the midst7130 of the house1004 of Israel:3478 the land776 is not able3201 3808 to bear3557 853 all3605 his words.1697
11 For3588 thus3541 Amos5986 saith,559 Jeroboam3379 shall die4191 by the sword,2719 and Israel3478 shall surely be led away captive1540 1540 out of4480 5921 their own land.127
12 Also Amaziah558 said559 unto413 Amos,5986 O thou seer,2374 go,1980 flee thee away1272 into413 the land776 of Judah,3063 and there8033 eat398 bread,3899 and prophesy5012 there:8033
13 But prophesy5012 not3808 again3254 any more5750 at Bethel:1008 for3588 it1931 is the king's4428 chapel,4720 and it1931 is the king's4467 court.1004
14 Then answered6030 Amos,5986 and said559 to413 Amaziah,558 I595 was no3808 prophet,5030 neither3808 was I595 a prophet's5030 son;1121 but3588 I595 was a herdsman,951 and a gatherer1103 of sycamore fruit:8256
15 And the LORD3068 took3947 me as I followed4480 310 the flock,6629 and the Lord3068 said559 unto413 me, Go,1980 prophesy5012 unto413 my people5971 Israel.3478
16 Now6258 therefore hear8085 thou the word1697 of the LORD:3068 Thou859 sayest,559 Prophesy5012 not3808 against5921 Israel,3478 and drop5197 not3808 thy word against5921 the house1004 of Isaac.3446
17 Therefore3651 thus3541 saith559 the LORD;3068 Thy wife802 shall be a harlot2181 in the city,5892 and thy sons1121 and thy daughters1323 shall fall5307 by the sword,2719 and thy land127 shall be divided2505 by line;2256 and thou859 shalt die4191 in5921 a polluted2931 land:127 and Israel3478 shall surely go into captivity1540 1540 forth of4480 5921 his land.127
1 Thus3541 hath the Lord136 GOD3069 showed7200 unto me: and behold2009 a basket3619 of summer fruit.7019
2 And he said,559 Amos,5986 what4100 seest7200 thou?859 And I said,559 A basket3619 of summer fruit.7019 Then said559 the LORD3068 unto413 me, The end7093 is come935 upon413 my people5971 of Israel;3478 I will not3808 again3254 pass by5674 them any more.5750
3 And the songs7892 of the temple1964 shall be howlings3213 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD:3069 there shall be many7227 dead bodies6297 in every3605 place;4725 they shall cast them forth7993 with silence.2013
4 Hear8085 this,2063 O ye that swallow up7602 the needy,34 even to make the poor6041 of the land776 to fail,7673
5 Saying,559 When4970 will the new moon2320 be gone,5674 that we may sell7666 corn?7668 and the sabbath,7676 that we may set forth6605 wheat,1250 making the ephah small,6994 374 and the shekel8255 great,1431 and falsifying5791 the balances3976 by deceit?4820
6 That we may buy7069 the poor1800 for silver,3701 and the needy34 for5668 a pair of shoes;5275 yea, and sell7666 the refuse4651 of the wheat?1250
7 The LORD3068 hath sworn7650 by the excellency1347 of Jacob,3290 Surely518 I will never5331 forget7911 any3605 of their works.4639
8 Shall not3808 the land776 tremble7264 for5921 this,2063 and every one3605 mourn56 that dwelleth3427 therein? and it shall rise up5927 wholly3605 as a flood;2975 and it shall be cast out1644 and drowned,8257 as by the flood2975 of Egypt.4714
9 And it shall come to pass1961 in that1931 day,3117 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 that I will cause the sun8121 to go down935 at noon,6672 and I will darken2821 the earth776 in the clear216 day:3117
10 And I will turn2015 your feasts2282 into mourning,60 and all3605 your songs7892 into lamentation;7015 and I will bring up5927 sackcloth8242 upon5921 all3605 loins,4975 and baldness7144 upon5921 every3605 head;7218 and I will make7760 it as the mourning60 of an only3173 son, and the end319 thereof as a bitter4751 day.3117
11 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the Lord136 GOD,3069 that I will send7971 a famine7458 in the land,776 not3808 a famine7458 of bread,3899 nor3808 a thirst6772 for water,4325 but3588 518 of hearing8085 853 the words1697 of the LORD:3068
12 And they shall wander5128 from sea4480 3220 to5704 sea,3220 and from the north4480 6828 even to5704 the east,4217 they shall run to and fro7751 to seek1245 853 the word1697 of the LORD,3068 and shall not3808 find4672 it.
13 In that1931 day3117 shall the fair3303 virgins1330 and young men970 faint5968 for thirst.6772
14 They that swear7650 by the sin819 of Samaria,8111 and say,559 Thy god,430 O Dan,1835 liveth;2416 and, The manner1870 of Beer-sheba884 liveth;2416 even they shall fall,5307 and never3808 rise up6965 again.5750
1 I saw7200 853 the Lord136 standing5324 upon5921 the altar:4196 and he said,559 Smite5221 the lintel3730 of the door, that the posts5592 may shake:7493 and cut1214 them in the head,7218 all3605 of them; and I will slay2026 the last319 of them with the sword:2719 he that fleeth5127 of them shall not3808 flee away,5127 and he that escapeth6412 of them shall not3808 be delivered.4422
2 Though518 they dig2864 into hell,7585 thence4480 8033 shall mine hand3027 take3947 them; though518 they climb up5927 to heaven,8064 thence4480 8033 will I bring them down:3381
3 And though518 they hide themselves2244 in the top7218 of Carmel,3760 I will search2664 and take3947 them out thence;4480 8033 and though518 they be hid5641 from4480 5048 my sight5869 in the bottom7172 of the sea,3220 thence4480 8033 will I command6680 853 the serpent,5175 and he shall bite5391 them:
4 And though518 they go1980 into captivity7628 before6440 their enemies,341 thence4480 8033 will I command6680 853 the sword,2719 and it shall slay2026 them: and I will set7760 mine eyes5869 upon5921 them for evil,7451 and not3808 for good.2896
5 And the Lord136 GOD3069 of hosts6635 is he that toucheth5060 the land,776 and it shall melt,4127 and all3605 that dwell3427 therein shall mourn:56 and it shall rise up5927 wholly3605 like a flood;2975 and shall be drowned,8257 as by the flood2975 of Egypt.4714
6 It is he that buildeth1129 his stories4609 in the heaven,8064 and hath founded3245 his troop92 in5921 the earth;776 he that calleth7121 for the waters4325 of the sea,3220 and poureth them out8210 upon5921 the face6440 of the earth:776 The LORD3068 is his name.8034
7 Are ye859 not3808 as children1121 of the Ethiopians3569 unto me, O children1121 of Israel?3478 saith5002 the LORD.3068 Have not3808 I brought up5927 853 Israel3478 out of the land4480 776 of Egypt?4714 and the Philistines6430 from Caphtor,4480 3731 and the Syrians758 from Kir?4480 7024
8 Behold,2009 the eyes5869 of the Lord136 GOD3069 are upon the sinful2400 kingdom,4467 and I will destroy8045 it from off4480 5921 the face6440 of the earth;127 saving657 that3588 I will not3808 utterly destroy8045 8045 853 the house1004 of Jacob,3290 saith5002 the LORD.3068
9 For,3588 lo,2009 I595 will command,6680 and I will sift5128 853 the house1004 of Israel3478 among all3605 nations,1471 like as834 corn is sifted5128 in a sieve,3531 yet shall not3808 the least grain6872 fall5307 upon the earth.776
10 All3605 the sinners2400 of my people5971 shall die4191 by the sword,2719 which say,559 The evil7451 shall not3808 overtake5066 nor prevent6923 1157 us.
11 In that1931 day3117 will I raise up6965 853 the tabernacle5521 of David1732 that is fallen,5307 and close up1443 853 the breaches6556 thereof; and I will raise up6965 his ruins,2034 and I will build1129 it as in the days3117 of old:5769
12 That4616 they may possess3423 853 the remnant7611 of Edom,123 and of all3605 the heathen,1471 which834 are called by7121 5921 my name,8034 saith5002 the LORD3068 that doeth6213 this.2063
13 Behold,2009 the days3117 come,935 saith5002 the LORD,3068 that the plowman2790 shall overtake5066 the reaper,7114 and the treader1869 of grapes6025 him that soweth4900 seed;2233 and the mountains2022 shall drop5197 sweet wine,6071 and all3605 the hills1389 shall melt.4127
14 And I will bring again7725 853 the captivity7622 of my people5971 of Israel,3478 and they shall build1129 the waste8074 cities,5892 and inhabit3427 them; and they shall plant5193 vineyards,3754 and drink8354 853 the wine3196 thereof; they shall also make6213 gardens,1593 and eat398 853 the fruit6529 of them.
15 And I will plant5193 them upon5921 their land,127 and they shall no3808 more5750 be pulled up5428 out of4480 5921 their land127 which834 I have given5414 them, saith559 the LORD3068 thy God.430
