1. The words[H1697] of Amos[H5986], who was among the herdsmen[H5349] of Tekoa[H8620], which he saw[H2372] concerning Israel[H3478] in the days[H3117] of Uzziah[H5818] king[H4428] of Judah[H3063], and in the days[H3117] of Jeroboam[H3379] the son[H1121] of Joash[H3101] king[H4428] of Israel[H3478], two years[H8141] before[H6440] the earthquake[H7494].
2. And he said[H559], Jehovah[H3068] will roar[H7580] from Zion[H6726], and utter[H5414] his voice[H6963] from Jerusalem[H3389]; and the pastures[H4999] of the shepherds[H7462] shall mourn[H56], and the top[H7218] of Carmel[H3760] shall wither[H3001].
3. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: For three[H7969] transgressions[H6588] of Damascus[H1834], yea[H702], for four, I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof[H1758]; because they have threshed Gilead[H1568] with threshing instruments[H2742] of iron[H1270]:
4. but I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] into the house[H1004] of Hazael[H2371], and it shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] of Ben-hadad[H1130].
5. And I will break[H7665] the bar[H1280] of Damascus[H1834], and cut off[H3772] the inhabitant[H3427] from the valley[H1237] of Aven[H206], and him that holdeth[H8551] the sceptre[H7626] from the house[H1004] of Eden[H5731]; and the people[H5971] of Syria[H758] shall go into captivity[H1540] unto Kir[H7024], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068].
6. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: For three[H7969] transgressions[H6588] of Gaza[H5804], yea[H702], for four, I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof[H1540]; because they carried away captive the whole[H8003] people[H1546], to deliver them up[H5462] to Edom[H123].
7. But I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] on the wall[H2346] of Gaza[H5804], and it shall devour[H398] the palaces thereof[H759].
8. And I will cut off[H3772] the inhabitant[H3427] from Ashdod[H795], and him that holdeth[H8551] the sceptre[H7626] from Ashkelon[H831]; and I will turn[H7725] my hand[H3027] against Ekron[H6138]; and the remnant[H7611] of the Philistines[H6430] shall perish[H6], saith[H559] the Lord[H136] Jehovah[H3069].
9. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: For three[H7969] transgressions[H6588] of Tyre[H6865], yea[H702], for four, I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof[H5462]; because they delivered up the whole[H8003] people[H1546] to Edom[H123], and remembered[H2142] not the brotherly[H251] covenant[H1285]:
10. but I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] on the wall[H2346] of Tyre[H6865], and it shall devour[H398] the palaces thereof[H759].
11. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: For three[H7969] transgressions[H6588] of Edom[H123], yea[H702], for four, I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof[H7291]; because he did pursue his brother[H251] with the sword[H2719], and did cast off[H7843] all pity[H7356], and his anger[H639] did tear[H2963] perpetually[H5703], and he kept[H8104] his wrath[H5678] for ever[H5331]:
12. but I will send[H7971] a fire[H784] upon Teman[H8487], and it shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] of Bozrah[H1224].
13. Thus saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068]: For three[H7969] transgressions[H6588] of the children[H1121] of Ammon[H5983], yea[H702], for four, I will not turn away[H7725] the punishment thereof[H1234]; because they have ripped up the women with child[H2030] of Gilead[H1568], that they may enlarge[H7337] their border[H1366].
14. But I will kindle[H3341] a fire[H784] in the wall[H2346] of Rabbah[H7237], and it shall devour[H398] the palaces[H759] thereof[H8643], with shouting in the day[H3117] of battle[H4421], with a tempest[H5591] in the day[H3117] of the whirlwind[H5492];
15. and their king[H4428] shall go[H1980] into captivity[H1473], he and his princes[H8269] together[H3162], saith[H559] Jehovah[H3068].
