AMOS ยท Chapter 1
1:1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen 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 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.
1:3 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and 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, which shall devour
the palaces of Benhadad.
1:5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant
from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the sceptre from the house of
Eden: and the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, says the
LORD.
1:6 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they carried away
captive the whole captivity, to deliver them up to Edom:
1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour
the palaces thereof:
1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that holds
the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine 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 Tyrus, and for
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they delivered
up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant:
1:10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour
the palaces thereof.
1:11 Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, 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:
1:12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces
of Bozrah.
1:13 Thus says 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 Gilead, that they might 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,
says the LORD.
