Amos 1

1
The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa--what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash was king of Israel.
2
He said: "The LORD roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the top of Carmel withers."
3
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Damascus, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because she threshed Gilead with sledges having iron teeth,
4
I will send fire upon the house of Hazael that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.
5
I will break down the gate of Damascus; I will destroy the king who is in the Valley of Aven and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden. The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir," says the LORD.
6
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Gaza, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because she took captive whole communities and sold them to Edom,
7
I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza that will consume her fortresses.
8
I will destroy the king of Ashdod and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon. I will turn my hand against Ekron, till the last of the Philistines is dead," says the Sovereign LORD.
9
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Tyre, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom, disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,
10
I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre that will consume her fortresses."
11
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Edom, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because he pursued his brother with a sword, stifling all compassion, because his anger raged continually and his fury flamed unchecked,
12
I will send fire upon Teman that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah."
13
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to extend his borders,
14
I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah that will consume her fortresses amid war cries on the day of battle, amid violent winds on a stormy day.
15
Her king will go into exile, he and his officials together," says the LORD.


Amos 2

1
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Moab, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because he burned, as if to lime, the bones of Edom's king,
2
I will send fire upon Moab that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth. Moab will go down in great tumult amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet.
3
I will destroy her ruler and kill all her officials with him," says the LORD.
4
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Judah, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. Because they have rejected the law of the LORD and have not kept his decrees, because they have been led astray by false gods, the gods their ancestors followed,
5
I will send fire upon Judah that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem."
6
This is what the LORD says: "For three sins of Israel, even for four, I will not turn back [my wrath]. They sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of sandals.
7
They trample on the heads of the poor as upon the dust of the ground and deny justice to the oppressed. Father and son use the same girl and so profane my holy name.
8
They lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge. In the house of their god they drink wine taken as fines.
9
"I destroyed the Amorite before them, though he was tall as the cedars and strong as the oaks. I destroyed his fruit above and his roots below.
10
"I brought you up out of Egypt, and I led you forty years in the desert to give you the land of the Amorites.
11
I also raised up prophets from among your sons and Nazirites from among your young men. Is this not true, people of Israel?" declares the LORD.
12
"But you made the Nazirites drink wine and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.
13
"Now then, I will crush you as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.
14
The swift will not escape, the strong will not muster their strength, and the warrior will not save his life.
15
The archer will not stand his ground, the fleet-footed soldier will not get away, and the horseman will not save his life.
16
Even the bravest warriors will flee naked on that day," declares the LORD.


Amos 3

1
Hear this word the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel--against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:
2
"You only have I chosen of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your sins."
3
Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so?
4
Does a lion roar in the thicket when he has no prey? Does he growl in his den when he has caught nothing?
5
Does a bird fall into a trap on the ground where no snare has been set? Does a trap spring up from the earth when there is nothing to catch?
6
When a trumpet sounds in a city, do not the people tremble? When disaster comes to a city, has not the LORD caused it?
7
Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
8
The lion has roared-- who will not fear? The Sovereign LORD has spoken-- who can but prophesy?
9
Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod and to the fortresses of Egypt: "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria; see the great unrest within her and the oppression among her people."
10
"They do not know how to do right," declares the LORD, "who hoard plunder and loot in their fortresses."
11
Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "An enemy will overrun the land; he will pull down your strongholds and plunder your fortresses."
12
This is what the LORD says: "As a shepherd saves from the lion's mouth only two leg bones or a piece of an ear, so will the Israelites be saved, those who sit in Samaria on the edge of their beds and in Damascus on their couches. "
13
"Hear this and testify against the house of Jacob," declares the Lord, the LORD God Almighty.
14
"On the day I punish Israel for her sins, I will destroy the altars of Bethel; the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.
15
I will tear down the winter house along with the summer house; the houses adorned with ivory will be destroyed and the mansions will be demolished," declares the LORD.


Amos 4

1
Hear this word, you cows of Bashan on Mount Samaria, you women who oppress the poor and crush the needy and say to your husbands, "Bring us some drinks!"
2
The Sovereign LORD has sworn by his holiness: "The time will surely come when you will be taken away with hooks, the last of you with fishhooks.
3
You will each go straight out through breaks in the wall, and you will be cast out toward Harmon, " declares the LORD.
4
"Go to Bethel and sin; go to Gilgal and sin yet more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three years.
5
Burn leavened bread as a thank offering and brag about your freewill offerings-- boast about them, you Israelites, for this is what you love to do," declares the Sovereign LORD.
6
"I gave you empty stomachs in every city and lack of bread in every town, yet you have not returned to me," declares the LORD.
7
"I also withheld rain from you when the harvest was still three months away. I sent rain on one town, but withheld it from another. One field had rain; another had none and dried up.
8
People staggered from town to town for water but did not get enough to drink, yet you have not returned to me," declares the LORD.
9
"Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, I struck them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me," declares the LORD.
10
"I sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps, yet you have not returned to me," declares the LORD.
11
"I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the fire, yet you have not returned to me," declares the LORD.
12
"Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel."
13
He who forms the mountains, creates the wind, and reveals his thoughts to man, he who turns dawn to darkness, and treads the high places of the earth-- the LORD God Almighty is his name.
