The words
<01697>

of Amos
<05986>_,

<08620>_,

which he saw
<02372> (8804)

concerning Israel
<03478>

in the days
<03117>

of Uzziah
<05818>

king
<04428>

<03379>

the son

king
<04428>

two years

Amos 2:1-16

2:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Moab
<04124>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because he burned
<08313> (8800)

the bones
<06106>

of the king
<04428>

of Edom
<0123>

into lime
<07875>_:

2:2

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

upon Moab
<04124>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Kerioth
<07152>_:

and Moab
<04124>

shall die
<04191> (8804)

with tumult
<07588>_,

with shouting
<08643>_,

[and] with the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_:

2:3

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the judge
<08199> (8802)

from the midst
<07130>

thereof, and will slay
<02026> (8799)

all the princes
<08269>

thereof with him, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they have despised
<03988> (8800)

the law
<08451>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and have not kept
<08104> (8804)

his commandments
<02706>_,

and their lies
<03577>

caused them to err
<08582> (8686)_,

after
<0310>

the which their fathers
<01>

have walked
<01980> (8804)_:

2:5

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

upon Judah
<03063>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Jerusalem
<03389>_.

2:6

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Israel
<03478>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they sold
<04376> (8800)

the righteous
<06662>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the poor
<034>

for a pair of shoes
<05275>_;

2:7

That pant
<07602> (8802)

after the dust
<06083>

of the earth
<0776>

on the head
<07218>

of the poor
<01800>_,

and turn aside
<05186> (8686)

the way
<01870>

of the meek
<06035>_:

and a man
<0376>

and his father
<01>

will go
<03212> (8799)

in unto the [same] maid
<05291>_,

to profane
<02490> (8763)

my holy
<06944>

name
<08034>_:

{maid: or, young woman}

2:8

And they lay [themselves] down
<05186> (8686)

upon clothes
<0899>

laid to pledge
<02254> (8803)

by
<0681>

every altar
<04196>_,

and they drink
<08354> (8799)

the wine
<03196>

of the condemned
<06064> (8803)

[in] the house
<01004>

of their god
<0430>_.

{the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}

2:9

Yet destroyed
<08045> (8689)

I the Amorite
<0567>

before
<06440>

them, whose height
<01363>

[was] like the height
<01363>

of the cedars
<0730>_,

and he [was] strong
<02634>

as the oaks
<0437>_;

yet I destroyed
<08045> (8686)

his fruit
<06529>

from above
<04605>_,

and his roots
<08328>

from beneath.

2:10

Also I brought you up
<05927> (8689)

from the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_,

and led
<03212> (8686)

you forty
<0705>

years
<08141>

through the wilderness
<04057>_,

to possess
<03423> (8800)

the land
<0776>

of the Amorite
<0567>_.

2:11

And I raised up
<06965> (8686)

of your sons
<01121>

for prophets
<05030>_,

and of your young men
<0970>

for Nazarites
<05139>_.

[Is it] not even thus, O ye children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

2:12

But ye gave the Nazarites
<05139>

wine
<03196>

to drink
<08248> (8686)_;

and commanded
<06680> (8765)

the prophets
<05030>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Prophesy
<05012> (8735)

not.

2:13

Behold, I am pressed
<05781> (8688)

under you, as a cart
<05699>

is pressed
<05781> (8686)

[that is] full
<04392>

of sheaves
<05995>_.

{I am...: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth}

2:14

Therefore the flight
<04498>

shall perish
<06> (8804)

from the swift
<07031>_,

and the strong
<02389>

shall not strengthen
<0553> (8762)

his force
<03581>_,

neither shall the mighty
<01368>

deliver
<04422> (8762)

himself
<05315>_:

{himself: Heb. his soul, or, life}

2:15

Neither shall he stand
<05975> (8799)

that handleth
<08610> (8802)

the bow
<07198>_;

and [he that is] swift
<07031>

of foot
<07272>

shall not deliver
<04422> (8762)

[himself]: neither shall he that rideth
<07392> (8802)

the horse
<05483>

deliver
<04422> (8762)

himself
<05315>_.

2:16

And [he that is] courageous
<0533> <03820>

among the mighty
<01368>

shall flee away
<05127> (8799)

naked
<06174>

in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{courageous: Heb. strong of his heart}

Amos 5:1-27

5:1

Hear
<08085> (8798)

ye this word
<01697>

which I take up
<05375> (8802)

against you, [even] a lamentation
<07015>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

5:2

The virgin
<01330>

of Israel
<03478>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;

she shall no more
<03254> (8686)

rise
<06965> (8800)_:

she is forsaken
<05203> (8738)

upon her land
<0127>_;

[there is] none to raise her up
<06965> (8688)_.

5:3

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_;

The city
<05892>

that went out
<03318> (8802)

[by] a thousand
<0505>

shall leave
<07604> (8686)

an hundred
<03967>_,

and that which went forth
<03318> (8802)

[by] an hundred
<03967>

shall leave
<07604> (8686)

ten
<06235>_,

to the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_.

5:4

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_,

Seek
<01875> (8798)

ye me, and ye shall live
<02421> (8798)_:

5:5

But seek
<01875> (8799)

not Bethel
<01008>_,

nor enter
<0935> (8799)

into Gilgal
<01537>_,

and pass
<05674> (8799)

not to Beersheba
<0884>_:

for Gilgal
<01537>

shall surely
<01540> (8800)

go into captivity
<01540> (8799)_,

and Bethel
<01008>

shall come to nought
<0205>_.

5:6

Seek
<01875> (8798)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and ye shall live
<02421> (8798)_;

lest he break out
<06743> (8799)

like fire
<0784>

in the house
<01004>

of Joseph
<03130>_,

and devour
<0398> (8804)

[it], and [there be] none to quench
<03518> (8764)

[it] in Bethel
<01008>_.

5:7

Ye who turn
<02015> (8802)

judgment
<04941>

to wormwood
<03939>_,

and leave off
<03240> (8689)

righteousness
<06666>

in the earth
<0776>_,

5:8

[Seek him] that maketh
<06213> (8802)

the seven stars
<03598>

and Orion
<03685>_,

and turneth
<02015> (8802)

the shadow of death
<06757>

into the morning
<01242>_,

and maketh the day
<03117>

dark
<02821> (8689)

with night
<03915>_:

that calleth
<07121> (8802)

for the waters
<04325>

of the sea
<03220>_,

and poureth them out
<08210> (8799)

upon the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0776>_:

The LORD
<03068>

[is] his name
<08034>_:

5:9

That strengtheneth
<01082> (8688)

the spoiled
<07701>

against the strong
<05794>_,

so that the spoiled
<07701>

shall come
<0935> (8799)

against the fortress
<04013>_.

{spoiled: Heb. spoil}

5:10

They hate
<08130> (8804)

him that rebuketh
<03198> (8688)

in the gate
<08179>_,

and they abhor
<08581> (8762)

him that speaketh
<01696> (8802)

uprightly
<08549>_.

5:11

Forasmuch
<03282>

therefore as your treading
<01318> (8780)

[is] upon the poor
<01800>_,

and ye take
<03947> (8799)

from him burdens
<04864>

of wheat
<01250>_:

ye have built
<01129> (8804)

houses
<01004>

of hewn stone
<01496>_,

but ye shall not dwell
<03427> (8799)

in them; ye have planted
<05193> (8804)

pleasant
<02531>

vineyards
<03754>_,

but ye shall not drink
<08354> (8799)

wine
<03196>

of them. {pleasant...: Heb. vineyards of desire}

5:12

For I know
<03045> (8804)

your manifold
<07227>

transgressions
<06588>

and your mighty
<06099>

sins
<02403>_:

they afflict
<06887> (8802)

the just
<06662>_,

they take
<03947> (8802)

a bribe
<03724>_,

and they turn aside
<05186> (8689)

the poor
<034>

in the gate
<08179>

[from their right]. {a bribe: or, a ransom}

5:13

Therefore the prudent
<07919> (8688)

shall keep silence
<01826> (8799)

in that time
<06256>_;

for it [is] an evil
<07451>

time
<06256>_.

5:14

Seek
<01875> (8798)

good
<02896>_,

and not evil
<07451>_,

that ye may live
<02421> (8799)_:

and so the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

shall be with you, as ye have spoken
<0559> (8804)_.

5:15

Hate
<08130> (8798)

the evil
<07451>_,

and love
<0157> (8798)

the good
<02896>_,

and establish
<03322> (8685)

judgment
<04941>

in the gate
<08179>_:

it may be that the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>

will be gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto the remnant
<07611>

of Joseph
<03130>_.

5:16

Therefore the LORD
<03068>_,

the God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_,

the Lord
<0136>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

thus; Wailing
<04553>

[shall be] in all streets
<07339>_;

and they shall say
<0559> (8799)

in all the highways
<02351>_,

Alas
<01930>_!

alas
<01930>_!

and they shall call
<07121> (8804)

the husbandman
<0406>

to mourning
<060>_,

and such as are skilful
<03045> (8802)

of lamentation
<05092>

to wailing
<04553>_.

5:17

And in all vineyards
<03754>

[shall be] wailing
<04553>_:

for I will pass
<05674> (8799)

through
<07130>

thee, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

5:18

Woe
<01945>

unto you that desire
<0183> (8693)

the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>_!

to what end
<04100>

[is] it for you? the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] darkness
<02822>_,

and not light
<0216>_.

5:19

As if a man
<0376>

did flee
<05127> (8799)

from
<06440>

a lion
<0738>_,

and a bear
<01677>

met
<06293> (8804)

him; or went
<0935> (8804)

into the house
<01004>_,

and leaned
<05564> (8804)

his hand
<03027>

on the wall
<07023>_,

and a serpent
<05175>

bit
<05391> (8804)

him.

5:20

[Shall] not the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[be] darkness
<02822>_,

and not light
<0216>_?

even very dark
<0651>_,

and no brightness
<05051>

in it?

5:21

I hate
<08130> (8804)_,

I despise
<03988> (8804)

your feast days
<02282>_,

and I will not smell
<07306> (8686)

in your solemn assemblies
<06116>_.

{in...: or, your holy days}

5:22

Though ye offer
<05927> (8686)

me burnt offerings
<05930>

and your meat offerings
<04503>_,

I will not accept
<07521> (8799)

[them]: neither will I regard
<05027> (8686)

the peace offerings
<08002>

of your fat beasts
<04806>_.

{peace...: or, thank offerings}

5:23

Take thou away
<05493> (8685)

from me the noise
<01995>

of thy songs
<07892>_;

for I will not hear
<08085> (8799)

the melody
<02172>

of thy viols
<05035>_.

5:24

But let judgment
<04941>

run down
<01556> (8735)

as waters
<04325>_,

and righteousness
<06666>

as a mighty
<0386>

stream
<05158>_.

{run: Heb. roll}

5:25

Have ye offered
<05066> (8689)

unto me sacrifices
<02077>

and offerings
<04503>

in the wilderness
<04057>

forty
<0705>

years
<08141>_,

O house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_?

5:26

But ye have borne
<05375> (8804)

the tabernacle
<05522>

of your Moloch
<04428>

and Chiun
<03594>

your images
<06754>_,

the star
<03556>

of your god
<0430>_,

which ye made
<06213> (8804)

to yourselves. {the tabernacle...: or, Siccuth your king}

5:27

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity
<01540> (8689)

beyond
<01973>

Damascus
<01834>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

whose name
<08034>

[is] The God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_.
