: Amos 1

: 1 . The words <1697 dabar > of Amos <5986 <Amowc > , who

<0834 >aher > was among the herdmen <5349 noqed > of Tekoa <8620

T@qowa< > , which <0834 >aher > he saw <2372 chazah >

concerning <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the days <3117

yowm > of Uzziah <5818 <Uzziyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah

<3063 Y@huwdah > , and in the days <3117 yowm > of Jeroboam

<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash >

king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , two years <8141

shaneh > before <6440 paniym > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > .

: 2 And he said <0559 >amar > , The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will

roar <7580 sha>ag > from Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and utter <5414

nathan > his voice <6963 qowl > from Jerusalem <3389

Y@ruwshalaim > ; and the habitations <4999 na>ah > of the

shepherds <7462 ra<ah > shall mourn <56> , and the top <7218

ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > shall wither <3001 yabesh > .

: 3 . Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588

pesha< > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , and for four <0702

>arba< > , I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment

] thereof ; because <5921 <al > they have threshed <1758 duwsh

> Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > with threshing <2742 charuwts >

instruments of iron <1270 barzel > :

: 4 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > into

the house <1004 bayith > of Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > , which

shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > of

Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > .

: 5 I will break <7665 shabar > also the bar <1280 b@riyach >

of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > , and cut <3772 karath > off the

inhabitant <3427 yashab > from the plain <1237 biq<ah > of Aven

<0206 >Aven > , and him that holdeth <8551 tamak > the sceptre

<7626 shebet > from the house <1004 bayith > of Eden <5731 <Eden

into captivity <1540 galah > unto Kir <7024 Qiyr > , saith

<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588

pesha< > of Gaza <5804 <Azzah > , and for four <0702 >arba< > ,

I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof

; because <5921 <al > they carried <1540 galah > away captive

<1540 galah > the whole <8003 shalem > captivity <1546 galuwth >

, to deliver <5462 cagar > [ them ] up to Edom <0123 >Edom > :

: 7 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > on the

wall <2346 chowmah > of Gaza <5804 <Azzah > , which shall

devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof :

: 8 And I will cut <3772 karath > off the inhabitant <3427

yashab > from Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd > , and him that holdeth

<8551 tamak > the sceptre <7626 shebet > from Ashkelon <0831

>Ashq@lown > , and I will turn <7725 shuwb > mine hand <3027

yad > against <5921 <al > Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > : and the

remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy >

shall perish <6> , saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay >

GOD <3069 Y@hovih > .

: 9 Thus saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ; For

three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 pesha< > of Tyrus

<6865 Tsor > , and for four <0702 >arba< > , I will not turn

<7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof ; because <5921

<al > they delivered <5462 cagar > up the whole <8003 shalem >

captivity <1546 galuwth > to Edom <0123 >Edom > , and

remembered <2142 zakar > not the brotherly covenant <1285

Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588

pesha< > of Edom <0123 >Edom > , and for four <0702 >arba< > ,

I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof ;

because <5921 <al > he did pursue <7291 radaph > his brother

shachath > off all pity <7356 racham > , and his anger <0639

: 12 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon

Teman <8487 Teyman > , which shall devour <0398 >akal > the

palaces <0759 >armown > of Bozrah <1224 Botsrah > .

: 13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588

pesha< > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > ,

and for four <0702 >arba< > , I will not turn <7725 shuwb >

away [ the punishment ] thereof ; because <5921 <al > they

have ripped <1234 baqa< > up the women with child <2030 hareh >

of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > , that they might enlarge <7337 rachab

: 14 But I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in

the wall <2346 chowmah > of Rabbah <7237 Rabbah > , and it

shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof ,

with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > in the day <3117 yowm > of

battle <4421 milchamah > , with a tempest <5591 ca<ar > in the

day <3117 yowm > of the whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > :

: 15 And their king <4428 melek > shall go <1980 halak > into

captivity <1473 gowlah > , he and his princes <8269 sar >

together <3162 yachad > , saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > .

: Amos 2

: 1 . Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588

pesha< > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , and for four <0702 >arba< > ,

I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away [ the punishment ] thereof

; because <5921 <al > he burned <8313 saraph > the bones <6106

<etsem > of the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom > into

lime <7875 siyd > :

: 2 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon

Moab <4124 Mow>ab > , and it shall devour <0398 >akal > the

palaces <0759 >armown > of Kerioth <7152> : and Moab <4124

with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > , [ and ] with the sound <6963

harag > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > thereof with him

Y@hovah > ; For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588

pesha< > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and for four <0702 >arba<

thereof ; because <5921 <al > they have despised <3988 ma>ac >

the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and have

not kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <2706 choq > , and

their lies <3576 kazab > caused them to err <8582 ta<ah > ,

after <0310 >achar > the which <0834 >aher > their fathers <1>

have walked <1980 halak > :

: 5 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon

Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > , and it shall devour <0398 >akal > the

pesha< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and for four <0702 >arba<

thereof ; because <5921 <al > they sold <4376 makar > the

righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > for silver <3701 keceph > , and the

poor <34> for a pair of shoes <5275 na<al > ;

: 7 That pant <7602 sha>aph > after <5921 <al > the dust <6083

<aphar > of the earth <0776 >erets > on the head <7218 ro>sh >

of the poor <1800 dal > , and turn <5186 natah > aside <5186

natah > the way <1870 derek > of the meek <6035 <anav > : and a

man <0376 >iysh > and his father <2> will go <3212 yalak > in

unto the [ same ] maid <5291 na<arah > , to profane <2490

chalal > my holy <6944 qodesh > name <8034 shem > :

: 8 And they lay <5186 natah > [ themselves ] down upon

clothes <0899 beged > laid to pledge <2254 chabal > by every

<3605 kol > altar <4196 mizbeach > , and they drink <8354

shathah > the wine <3196 yayin > of the condemned <6064 <anash >

[ in ] the house <1004 bayith > of their god <0430 >elohiym > .

: 9 . Yet destroyed <8045 shamad > I the Amorite <0567

height <1363 gobahh > [ was ] like the height <1363 gobahh >

of the cedars <0730 >erez > , and he [ was ] strong <2364

Chuwshah > as the oaks <0437 >allown > ; yet I destroyed <8045

shamad > his fruit <6529 p@riy > from above <4605 ma<al > , and

his roots <8328 sheresh > from beneath <8478 tachath > .

: 10 Also I brought <5927 <alah > you up from the land <0776

forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > through the

wilderness <4057 midbar > , to possess <3423 yarash > the land

<0776 >erets > of the Amorite <0567 >Emoriy > .

: 11 And I raised <6965 quwm > up of your sons <1121 ben > for

prophets <5030 nabiy> > , and of your young <0970 bachuwr > men

for Nazarites <5139 naziyr > . [ Is it ] not even <0637 >aph

: 12 But ye gave the Nazarites <5139 naziyr > wine <3196 yayin

prophets <5030 nabiy> > , saying <0559 >amar > , Prophesy

city <5892 <iyr > , and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not done

<6213 <asah > [ it ] ?

: 7 Surely <3588 kiy > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069

no <3808 lo> > prophet <5030 nabiy> > , neither <3808 lo> > [

Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , and drop <5197 nataph > not [ thy

word ] against <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Isaac

<3446 Yischaq > .

: 17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar

an harlot <2181 zanah > in the city <5892 <iyr > , and thy sons

; and thou shalt die <4191 muwth > in a polluted <2931 tame> >

land <0127 >adamah > : and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall surely

go into captivity <1540 galah > forth of his land <0127 >adamah
