Amos 1:1--2:16

1:1

The words
<01697>

of Amos
<05986>_,

who was among the herdmen
<05349>

of Tekoa
<08620>_,

which he saw
<02372> (8804)

concerning Israel
<03478>

in the days
<03117>

of Uzziah
<05818>

king
<04428>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and in the days
<03117>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

the son
<01121>

of Joash
<03101>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

two years
<08141>

before
<06440>

the earthquake
<07494>_.

1:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

The LORD
<03068>

will roar
<07580> (8799)

from Zion
<06726>_,

and utter
<05414> (8799)

his voice
<06963>

from Jerusalem
<03389>_;

and the habitations
<04999>

of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)

shall mourn
<056> (8804)_,

and the top
<07218>

of Carmel
<03760>

shall wither
<03001> (8804)_.

1:3

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Damascus
<01834>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they have threshed
<01758> (8800)

Gilead
<01568>

with threshing instruments
<02742>

of iron
<01270>_:

{and...: or, yea, for four} {turn...: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}

1:4

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

into the house
<01004>

of Hazael
<02371>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Benhadad
<01130>_.

1:5

I will break
<07665> (8804)

also the bar
<01280>

of Damascus
<01834>_,

and cut off
<03772> (8689)

the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

from the plain
<01237>

of Aven
<0206>_,

and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)

the sceptre
<07626>

from the house
<01004>

of Eden
<05731> (8677) <01040>_:

and the people
<05971>

of Syria
<0758>

shall go into captivity
<01540> (8804)

unto Kir
<07024>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

{the plain...: or, Bikathaven} {the house...: or, Betheden}

1:6

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Gaza
<05804>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they carried away captive
<01540> (8687)

the whole
<08003>

captivity
<01546>_,

to deliver [them] up
<05462> (8687)

to Edom
<0123>_:

{away captive...: or, them away with an entire}

1:7

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

on the wall
<02346>

of Gaza
<05804>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

thereof:

1:8

And I will cut off
<03772> (8689)

the inhabitant
<03427> (8802)

from Ashdod
<0795>_,

and him that holdeth
<08551> (8802)

the sceptre
<07626>

from Ashkelon
<0831>_,

and I will turn
<07725> (8689)

mine hand
<03027>

against Ekron
<06138>_:

and the remnant
<07611>

of the Philistines
<06430>

shall perish
<06> (8804)_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

1:9

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Tyrus
<06865>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they delivered up
<05462> (8687)

the whole
<08003>

captivity
<01546>

to Edom
<0123>_,

and remembered
<02142> (8804)

not the brotherly
<0251>

covenant
<01285>_:

{the brotherly...: Heb. the covenant of brethren}

1:10

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

on the wall
<02346>

of Tyrus
<06865>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

thereof.

1:11

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of Edom
<0123>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because he did pursue
<07291> (8800)

his brother
<0251>

with the sword
<02719>_,

and did cast off
<07843> (8765)

all pity
<07356>_,

and his anger
<0639>

did tear
<02963> (8799)

perpetually
<05703>_,

and he kept
<08104> (8804)

his wrath
<05678>

for ever
<05331>_:

{did cast...: Heb. corrupted his compassions}

1:12

But I will send
<07971> (8765)

a fire
<0784>

upon Teman
<08487>_,

which shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

of Bozrah
<01224>_.

1:13

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

For three
<07969>

transgressions
<06588>

of the children
<01121>

of Ammon
<05983>_,

and for four
<0702>_,

I will not turn away
<07725> (8686)

[the punishment] thereof; because they have ripped up
<01234> (8800)

the women with child
<02030>

of Gilead
<01568>_,

that they might enlarge
<07337> (8687)

their border
<01366>_:

{ripped...: or, divided the mountains}

1:14

But I will kindle
<03341> (8689)

a fire
<0784>

in the wall
<02346>

of Rabbah
<07237>_,

and it shall devour
<0398> (8804)

the palaces
<0759>

thereof, with shouting
<08643>

in the day
<03117>

of battle
<04421>_,

with a tempest
<05591>

in the day
<03117>

of the whirlwind
<05492>_:

1:15

And their king
<04428>

shall go
<01980> (8804)

into captivity
<01473>_,

he and his princes
<08269>

together
<03162>_,

saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

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}
