The Book of Amos

Amo 1:1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Te-ko´-a, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uz-zi´-ah king of Judah, and in the days of Jer-o-bo´-am the son of Jo´ash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

Amo 1:2 And he said, The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.

Amo 1:3 Thus saith the Lord; For three trans gressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have threshed Gil´-e-ad with threshing instruments of iron:

Amo 1:4 But I will send a fire into the house of Haz´-a-el, which shall devour the palaces of Ben–ha´-dad.

Amo 1:5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from the plain of A´-ven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord.

Amo 1:6 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Ga´-za, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to E´-dom:

Amo 1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Ga´-za, which shall devour the palaces thereof:

Amo 1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ash´-dod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ash´-ke-lon, and I will turn Mine hand against Ek´-ron: and the remnant of the Phi-lis´-tines shall perish, saith the Lord God.

Amo 1:9 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Ty´-rus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered up the whole captivity to E´-dom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:

Amo 1:10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Ty´-rus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.

Amo 1:11 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of E´-dom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

Amo 1:12 But I will send a fire upon Te´man, which shall devour the palaces of Boz´-rah.

Amo 1:13 Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of Gil´-e-ad, that they might enlarge their border:

Amo 1:14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rab´-bah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:

Amo 1:15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
