1:1 The
words
of
Amos,
who
was
among
the
herdsmen
of
Tekoa,
which
he
saw
concerning
Israel
in
the
days
of
Uzziah
king
of
Judah,
and
in
the
days
of
Jeroboam
the
son
of
Joash
king
of
Israel,
two
years
before
the
earthquake.
1:2 And
he
said,
Jehovah
will
roar
from
Zion,
and
utter
his
voice
from
Jerusalem;
and
the
pastures
of
the
shepherds
shall
mourn,
and
the
top
of
Carmel
shall
wither.
1:3 Thus
saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Damascus,
yea,
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
they
have
threshed
Gilead
with
threshing
instruments
of
iron:
1:4 but
I
will
send
a
fire
into
the
house
of
Hazael,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Ben-hadad.
1:5 And
I
will
break
the
bar
of
Damascus,
and
cut
off
the
inhabitant
from
the
valley
of
Aven,
and
him
that
holdeth
the
sceptre
from
the
house
of
Eden;
and
the
people
of
Syria
shall
go
into
captivity
unto
Kir,
saith
Jehovah.
1:6 Thus
saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Gaza,
yea,
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
they
carried
away
captive
the
whole
people,
to
deliver
them
up
to
Edom:
1:7 but
I
will
send
a
fire
on
the
wall
of
Gaza,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
thereof.
1:8 And
I
will
cut
off
the
inhabitant
from
Ashdod,
and
him
that
holdeth
the
sceptre
from
Ashkelon;
and
I
will
turn
my
hand
against
Ekron;
and
the
remnant
of
the
Philistines
shall
perish,
saith
the
Lord
Jehovah.
1:9 Thus
saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Tyre,
yea,
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
they
delivered
up
the
whole
people
to
Edom,
and
remembered
not
the
brotherly
covenant:
1:10 but
I
will
send
a
fire
on
the
wall
of
Tyre,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
thereof.
1:11 Thus
saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
Edom,
yea,
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:
1:12 but
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Teman,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
of
Bozrah.
1:13 Thus
saith
Jehovah:
For
three
transgressions
of
the
children
of
Ammon,
yea,
for
four,
I
will
not
turn
away
the
punishment
thereof;
because
they
have
ripped
up
the
women
with
child
of
Gilead,
that
they
may
enlarge
their
border.
1:14 But
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
the
wall
of
Rabbah,
and
it
shall
devour
the
palaces
thereof,
with
shouting
in
the
day
of
battle,
with
a
tempest
in
the
day
of
the
whirlwind;
1:15 and
their
king
shall
go
into
captivity,
he
and
his
princes
together,
saith
Jehovah.
