AM-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.

AM-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.

AM-1:3 Thus saith 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:

AM-1:4 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which

shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.

AM-1:5 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the

inhabitant from the plain 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 the LORD.

AM-1:6 Thus saith 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:

AM-1:7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall

devour the palaces thereof:

AM-1:8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him

that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine

hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall

perish, saith the Lord GOD.

AM-1:9 Thus saith 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:

AM-1:10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall

devour the palaces thereof.

AM-1:11 Thus saith 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:

AM-1:12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour

the palaces of Bozrah.

AM-1:13 Thus saith 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:

AM-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:

AM-1:15 And their king shall go into captivity, he and his

princes together, saith the LORD.
