1:1 The
words
of
Amos,
who
was
among
the
shepherds
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:
"The
LORD
roars
from
Zion
and
utters
his
voice
from
Jerusalem;
the
pastures
of
the
shepherds
mourn,
and
the
top
of
Carmel
withers."
1:3 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"For
three
transgressions
of
Damascus,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
the
punishment,
because
they
have
threshed
Gilead
with
threshing
sledges
of
iron.
1:4 So
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
the
house
of
Hazael,
and
it
shall
devour
the
strongholds
of
Ben-hadad.
1:5 I
will
break
the
gate-bar
of
Damascus,
and
cut
off
the
inhabitants
from
the
Valley
of
Aven,
and
him
who
holds
the
scepter
from
Beth-eden;
and
the
people
of
Syria
shall
go
into
exile
to
Kir,"
says
the
LORD.
1:6 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"For
three
transgressions
of
Gaza,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
the
punishment,
because
they
carried
into
exile
a
whole
people
to
deliver
them
up
to
Edom.
1:7 So
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
the
wall
of
Gaza,
and
it
shall
devour
her
strongholds.
1:8 I
will
cut
off
the
inhabitants
from
Ashdod,
and
him
who
holds
the
scepter
from
Ashkelon;
I
will
turn
my
hand
against
Ekron,
and
the
remnant
of
the
Philistines
shall
perish,"
says
the
Lord
GOD.
1:9 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"For
three
transgressions
of
Tyre,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
the
punishment,
because
they
delivered
up
a
whole
people
to
Edom,
and
did
not
remember
the
covenant
of
brotherhood.
1:10 So
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
the
wall
of
Tyre,
and
it
shall
devour
her
strongholds."
1:11 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"For
three
transgressions
of
Edom,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
the
punishment,
because
he
pursued
his
brother
with
the
sword
and
cast
off
all
pity,
and
his
anger
tore
perpetually,
and
he
kept
his
wrath
forever.
1:12 So
I
will
send
a
fire
upon
Teman,
and
it
shall
devour
the
strongholds
of
Bozrah."
1:13 Thus
says
the
LORD:
"For
three
transgressions
of
the
Ammonites,
and
for
four,
I
will
not
revoke
the
punishment,
because
they
have
ripped
open
pregnant
women
in
Gilead,
that
they
might
enlarge
their
border.
1:14 So
I
will
kindle
a
fire
in
the
wall
of
Rabbah,
and
it
shall
devour
her
strongholds,
with
shouting
on
the
day
of
battle,
with
a
tempest
in
the
day
of
the
whirlwind;
1:15 and
their
king
shall
go
into
exile,
he
and
his
princes
together,"
says
the
LORD.
