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
>: and the people <5971 <am > of Syria <0758 >Aram > shall go
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 b@riyth >:
10 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > on the
wall <2346 chowmah > of Tyrus <6865 Tsor >, which shall devour
<0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof.
11 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 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 <0251 >ach > with the
sword <2719 chereb >, and did cast <7843 shachath > off all pity
<7356 racham >, and his anger <0639 >aph > did tear <2963 taraph
> perpetually <5703 <ad >, and he kept <8104 shamar > his wrath
<5678 <ebrah > for ever <5331 netsach >:
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 > their border
<1366 g@buwl >:
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 Mow>ab > shall
die <4191 muwth > with tumult <7588 sha>own >, with shouting
<8643 t@ruw<ah >, [and] with the sound <6963 qowl > of the
trumpet <7782 showphar >:
3 And I will cut <3772 karath > off the judge <8199 shaphat >
from the midst <7130 qereb > thereof, and will slay <2026 harag
> all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > thereof with him,
saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
4 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 pesha< > of
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and for four <0702 >arba< >, I will not
turn <7725 shuwb > away [the punishment] 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
palaces <0759 >armown > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim >.
6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >;
For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 pesha< > of
Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, and for four <0702 >arba< >, I will not
turn <7725 shuwb > away [the punishment] 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 >Emoriy >
before <6440 paniym > them, whose <0834 >aher > 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
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and led <3212 yalak > you
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 > thus
<2063 zo>th >, O ye children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
12 But ye gave the Nazarites <5139 naziyr > wine <3196 yayin >
to drink <8248 shaqah >; and commanded <6680 tsavah > the
prophets <5030 nabiy> >, saying <0559 >amar >, Prophesy <5012
naba> > not.
13 Behold <2009 hinneh >, I am pressed <5781 <uwq > under <8478
tachath > you, as a cart <5699 <agalah > is pressed <5781 <uwq >
[that is] full <4392 male> > of sheaves <5995 <amiyr >.
14 Therefore the flight <4498 manowc > shall perish <6> from
the swift <7031 qal >, and the strong <2389 chazaq > shall not
strengthen <0553 >amats > his force <3581 koach >, neither <3808
lo> > shall the mighty <1368 gibbowr > deliver <4422 malat >
himself <5315 nephesh >:
15 Neither <3808 lo> > shall he stand <5975 <amad > that
handleth <8610 taphas > the bow <7198 qesheth >; and [he that
is] swift <7031 qal > of foot <7272 regel > shall not deliver
<4422 malat > [himself <5315 nephesh >]: neither <3808 lo> >
shall he that rideth <7392 rakab > the horse <5483 cuwc >
deliver <4422 malat > himself <5315 nephesh >.
16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty <1368 gibbowr >
shall flee <5127 nuwc > away naked <6174 <arowm > in that day
<3117 yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
Amos 3
1. Hear <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > that
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > against <5921
<al > you, O children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >,
against <5921 <al > the whole <3605 kol > family <4940
mishpachah > which <0834 >aher > I brought <5927 <alah > up from
the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, saying <0559

2 You only <7535 raq > have I known <3045 yada< > of all <3605
kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the earth <0127 >adamah

your iniquities <5771 <avon >.
3 Can two <8147 sh@nayim > walk <3212 yalak > together <3162
yachad >, except <1115 biltiy > they be agreed <3259 ya<ad >?
4 Will a lion <0738 >ariy > roar <7580 sha>ag > in the forest
<3293 ya<ar >, when he hath no <0369 >ayin > prey <2964 tereph

his den <4585 m@<ownah >, if <0518 >im > he have taken <3920
lakad > nothing <1115 biltiy >?
5 Can a bird <6833 tsippowr > fall <5307 naphal > in a snare
<6341 pach > upon the earth <0776 >erets >, where no <0369 >ayin

> up a snare <6341 pach > from the earth <0127 >adamah >, and
have taken <3947 laqach > nothing <3808 lo> > at all?
6 Shall a trumpet <7782 showphar > be blown <8628 taqa< > in
the city <5892 <iyr >, and the people <5971 <am > not be afraid
<2729 charad >? shall there be evil <7451 ra< > in a 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 Y@hovih

his secret <5475 cowd > unto his servants <5650 <ebed > the
prophets <5030 nabiy> >.
8 The lion <0738 >ariy > hath roared <7580 sha>ag >, who <4310
miy > will not fear <3372 yare> >? the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD
<3069 Y@hovih > hath spoken <1696 dabar >, who <4310 miy > can
but prophesy <5012 naba> >?
9. Publish <8085 shama< > in the palaces <0759 >armown > at
Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd >, and in the palaces <0759 >armown > in
the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >, and say
<0559 >amar >, Assemble <0622 >acaph > yourselves upon the
mountains <2022 har > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and behold
<7200 ra>ah > the great <7227 rab > tumults <4103 m@huwmah > in
the midst <7130 qereb > thereof, and the oppressed <6217 <ashuwq

10 For they know <3045 yada< > not to do <6213 <asah > right
<5229 n@kochah >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >,
who store <0686 >atsar > up violence <2555 chamac > and robbery
<7701 shod > in their palaces <0759 >armown >.
11 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar >
the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; An adversary <6862
tsar > [there shall be] even round <5439 cabiyb > about the land
<0776 >erets >; and he shall bring <3381 yarad > down <3381
yarad > thy strength <5797 <oz > from thee, and thy palaces
<0759 >armown > shall be spoiled <0962 bazaz >.
12 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah

Shom@rown > in the corner <6285 pe>ah > of a bed <4296 mittah >,

13 Hear <8085 shama< > ye, and testify <5749 <uwd > in the
house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, saith <5001 na>am

14 That in the day <3117 yowm > that I shall visit <6485 paqad

upon him I will also visit <6485 paqad > the altars <4196
mizbeach > of Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >: and the horns <7161
qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be cut <1438 gada< >
off, and fall <5307 naphal > to the ground <0776 >erets >.
15 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the winter <2779 choreph >
house <1004 bayith > with the summer <7019 qayits > house <1004
bayith >; and the houses <1004 bayith > of ivory <8127 shen >
shall perish <6>, and the great <7227 rab > houses <1004 bayith

<3068 Y@hovah >.
Amos 4
1. Hear <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >, ye
kine <6510 parah > of Bashan <1316 Bashan >, that [are] in the
mountain <2022 har > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, which oppress
<6231 <ashaq > the poor <1800 dal >, which crush <7533 ratsats >
the needy <34>, which say <0559 >amar > to their masters <0113

2 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath sworn <7650
shaba< > by his holiness <6944 qodesh >, that, lo <2009 hinneh >,
the days <3117 yowm > shall come <0935 bow> > upon you, that he
will take <5375 nasa> > you away with hooks <6793 tsinnah >, and
your posterity <0319 >achariyth > with fishhooks.
3 And ye shall go <3318 yatsa> > out at the breaches <6556
perets >, every <0802 >ishshah > [cow at that which is] before
<5084 nadan > her; and ye shall cast <7993 shalak > [them] into
the palace <2038 harmown >, saith <5001 na>am > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.
4 Come <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, and transgress
<6586 pasha< >; at Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > multiply <7235 rabah >
transgression <6588 pesha< >; and bring <0935 bow> > your
sacrifices <2077 zebach > every morning <1242 boqer >, [and]
your tithes <4643 ma<aser > after three <7969 shalowsh > years
<3117 yowm >:
5 And offer <6999 qatar > a sacrifice of thanksgiving <8426
towdah > with leaven <2557 chametz >, and proclaim <7121 qara> >
[and] publish <8085 shama< > the free <5071 n@dabah > offerings:
for this <3651 ken > liketh <0157 >ahab > you, O ye children
<1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saith <5001 na>am > the
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.
6. And I also <1571 gam > have given <5414 nathan > you
cleanness <5356 niqqayown > of teeth <8127 shen > in all <3605
kol > your cities <5892 <iyr >, and want <2640 chocer > of bread
<3899 lechem > in all <3605 kol > your places <4725 maqowm >:
yet have ye not returned <7725 shuwb > unto me, saith <5001
na>am > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
7 And also <1571 gam > I have withholden <4513 mana< > the rain
<1653 geshem > from you, when [there were] yet <5750 <owd >
three <7969 shalowsh > months <2320 chodesh > to the harvest
<7105 qatsiyr >: and I caused it to rain <4305 matar > upon one
<0259 >echad > city <5892 <iyr >, and caused it not to rain
<4305 matar > upon another <0259 >echad > city <5892 <iyr >: one
<0259 >echad > piece was rained <4305 matar > upon, and the
piece whereupon it rained <4305 matar > not withered <3001
yabesh >.
8 So two <8147 sh@nayim > [or] three <7969 shalowsh > cities
<5892 <iyr > wandered <5128 nuwa< > unto one <0259 >echad > city
<5892 <iyr >, to drink <8354 shathah > water <4325 mayim >; but
they were not satisfied <7646 saba< >: yet have ye not returned
<7725 shuwb > unto me, saith <5001 na>am > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah >.
9 I have smitten <5221 nakah > you with blasting <7711
sh@dephah > and mildew <3420 yeraqown >: when your gardens <1593
gannah > and your vineyards <3754 kerem > and your fig <8384

<7235 rabah >, the palmerworm <1501 gazam > devoured <0398 >akal

<5001 na>am > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
10 I have sent <7971 shalach > among you the pestilence <1698

with the sword <2719 chereb >, and have taken <7628 sh@biy >

the stink <0889 b@>osh > of your camps <4264 machaneh > to come

not returned <7725 shuwb > unto me, saith <5001 na>am > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
11 I have overthrown <2015 haphak > [some] of you, as God <0430

Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah >, and ye were as a firebrand <0181 >uwd

yet have ye not returned <7725 shuwb > unto me, saith <5001

12 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > will I do <6213 <asah

Amos 5
1. Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar >
which <0834 >aher > I take <5375 nasa> > up against <5921 <al >
you, [even] a lamentation <7015 qiynah >, O house <1004 bayith >
of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.
2 The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is
fallen <5307 naphal >; she shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd

land <0127 >adamah >; [there is] none <0369 >ayin > to raise
<6965 quwm > her up.
3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >; The city <5892 <iyr > that went
<3318 yatsa> > out [by] a thousand <0505 >eleph > shall leave

4. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

5 But seek <1875 darash > not Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >, nor
<3808 lo> > enter <0935 bow> > into Gilgal <1537 Gilgal >, and
pass <5674 <abar > not to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< >: for
Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > shall surely go into captivity <1540 galah

nought <0205 >aven >.
6 Seek <1875 darash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and ye shall
live <2421 chayah >; lest <6435 pen > he break <6743 tsalach >
out like fire <0784 >esh > in the house <1004 bayith > of Joseph
<3130 Yowceph >, and devour <0398 >akal > [it], and [there be]
none <0369 >ayin > to quench <3518 kabah > [it] in Bethel <1008
Beyth->El >.
7 Ye who turn <2015 haphak > judgment <4941 mishpat > to
wormwood <3939 la<anah >, and leave <3241 Yaniym > off
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > in the earth <0776 >erets >,
8 [Seek him] that maketh <6213 <asah > the seven <3598 Kiymah >
stars <3598 Kiymah > and Orion <3685 K@ciyl >, and turneth <2015
haphak > the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth

paniym > of the earth <0776 >erets >: The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
[is] his name <8034 shem >:
9 That strengtheneth <1082 balag > the spoiled <7701 shod >
against <5921 <al > the strong <5794 <az >, so that the spoiled
<7701 shod > shall come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > the
fortress <4013 mibtsar >.
10 They hate <8130 sane> > him that rebuketh <3198 yakach > in
the gate <8179 sha<ar >, and they abhor <8581 ta<ab > him that
speaketh <1696 dabar > uprightly <8549 tamiym >.
11 Forasmuch <3282 ya<an > therefore <3651 ken > as your
treading <1318 bashac > [is] upon the poor <1800 dal >, and ye
take <3947 laqach > from him burdens <4864 mas>eth > of wheat
<1250 bar >: ye have built <1129 banah > houses <1004 bayith >
of hewn <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth >, but ye shall not
dwell <3427 yashab > in them; ye have planted <5193 nata< >
pleasant <2531 chemed > vineyards <3754 kerem >, but ye shall
not drink <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > of them.
12 For I know <3045 yada< > your manifold <7227 rab >
transgressions <6588 pesha< > and your mighty <6099 <atsuwm >
sins <2403 chatta>ah >: they afflict <6887 tsarar > the just
<6662 tsaddiyq >, they take <3947 laqach > a bribe <3724 kopher

in the gate <8179 sha<ar > [from their right].
13 Therefore <3651 ken > the prudent <7919 sakal > shall keep
silence <1826 damam > in that time <6256 <eth >; for it [is] an
evil <7451 ra< > time <6256 <eth >.
14 Seek <1875 darash > good <2896 towb >, and not evil <7451
ra< >, that ye may live <2421 chayah >: and so <3651 ken > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635

15 Hate <8130 sane> > the evil <7451 ra< >, and love <0157
>ahab > the good <2896 towb >, and establish <3322 yatsag >
judgment <4941 mishpat > in the gate <8179 sha<ar >: it may be
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > will be gracious <2587 channuwn > unto the
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph >.
16. Therefore <3651 ken > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, the God
<0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, the Lord <0136 >Adonay

[shall be] in all <3605 kol > streets <7339 r@chob >; and they
shall say <0559 >amar > in all <3605 kol > the highways <2351
chuwts >, Alas <1930 how >! alas <1930 how >! and they shall
call <7121 qara> > the husbandman <0406 >ikkar > to mourning
<60>, and such as are skilful <3045 yada< > of lamentation <5092
n@hiy > to wailing <4553 micepd >.
17 And in all <3605 kol > vineyards <3754 kerem > [shall be]
wailing <4553 micepd >: for I will pass <5674 <abar > through
<7130 qereb > thee, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
18 Woe <1945 howy > unto you that desire <0183 >avah > the day
<3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >! to what <4100 mah >
end [is] it for you? the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > [is] darkness <2822 choshek >, and not light <0216

19 As if <0834 >aher > a man <0376 >iysh > did flee <5127 nuwc

and leaned <5564 camak > his hand <3027 yad > on <5921 <al > the
wall <7023 qiyr >, and a serpent <5175 nachash > bit <5391
nashak > him.
20 [Shall] not the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >
[be] darkness <2822 choshek >, and not light <0216 >owr >? even
very <0651 >aphel > dark <0651 >aphel >, and no <3808 lo> >
brightness <5051 nogahh > in it?
21. I hate <8130 sane> >, I despise <3988 ma>ac > your feast
<2282 chag > days, and I will not smell <7306 ruwach > in your
solemn <6116 <atsarah > assemblies <6116 <atsarah >.
22 Though ye offer <5927 <alah > me burnt <5930 <olah >
offerings and your meat offerings <4503 minchah >, I will not
accept <7521 ratsah > [them]: neither <3808 lo> > will I regard
<5027 nabat > the peace <8002 shelem > offerings of your fat
<4806 m@riy> > beasts <4806 m@riy> >.
23 Take <5493 cuwr > thou away <5493 cuwr > from me the noise
<1995 hamown > of thy songs <7892 shiyr >; for I will not hear
<8085 shama< > the melody <2172 zimrah > of thy viols <5035
nebel >.
24 But let judgment <4941 mishpat > run <1556 galal > down as
waters <4325 mayim >, and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > as a
mighty <0386 >eythan > stream <5158 nachal >.
25 Have ye offered <5066 nagash > unto me sacrifices <2077
zebach > and offerings <4503 minchah > in the wilderness <4057
midbar > forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh >, O house
<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >?
26 But ye have borne <5375 nasa> > the tabernacle <5522
cikkuwth > of your Moloch <4432 Molek > and Chiun <3594 Kiyuwn >
your images <6754 tselem >, the star <3556 kowkab > of your god
<0430 >elohiym >, which <0834 >aher > ye made <6213 <asah > to
yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity <1540 galah

The God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >.
Amos 6
1. Woe <1945 howy > to them [that are] at ease <7600 sha>anan >

2 Pass <5674 <abar > ye unto Calneh <3641 Kalneh >, and see
<7200 ra>ah >; and from thence <8033 sham > go <3212 yalak > ye

3 Ye that put far away <5077 nadah > the evil <7451 ra< > day

7 Therefore <3651 ken > now <6258 <attah > shall they go
captive <1540 galah > with the first <7218 ro>sh > that go
captive <1540 galah >, and the banquet <4797 mirzach > of them

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > the God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635

10 And a man's uncle <1730 dowd > shall take <5375 nasa> > him
up, and he that burneth <5635 caraph > him, to bring <3318

thy tongue <2013 hacah >: for we may not make mention <2142

11 For, behold <2009 hinneh >, the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >

12 Shall horses <5483 cuwc > run <7323 ruwts > upon the rock

Amos 7
1. Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih > shewed <7200 ra>ah > unto me; and, behold <2009 hinneh

beginning <8462 t@chillah > of the shooting <5927 <alah > up of
the latter <3954 leqesh > growth <3954 leqesh >; and, lo <2009

2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when <0518 >im >
they had made an end <3615 kalah > of eating <0398 >akal > the
grass <6212 <eseb > of the land <0776 >erets >, then I said
<0559 >amar >, O Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >,
forgive <5545 calach >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee: by whom
<4310 miy > shall Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > arise <6965 quwm >? for
he [is] small <6996 qatan >.
3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > repented <5162 nacham > for this
<2063 zo>th >: It shall not be, saith <0559 >amar > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah >.
4 Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih > shewed <7200 ra>ah > unto me: and, behold <2009 hinneh

it devoured <0398 >akal > the great <7227 rab > deep <8415

5 Then said <0559 >amar > I, O Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih >, cease <2308 chadal >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee: by
whom <4310 miy > shall Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > arise <6965 quwm >?
for he [is] small <6996 qatan >.
6 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > repented <5162 nacham > for this
<2063 zo>th >: This <1931 huw> > also shall not be, saith <0559
>amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >.
7 Thus <3541 koh > he shewed <7200 ra>ah > me: and, behold
<2009 hinneh >, the Lord <0136 >Adonay > stood <5324 natsab >
upon a wall <2346 chowmah > [made] by a plumbline <0594 >anak >,
with a plumbline <0594 >anak > in his hand <3027 yad >.
8 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Amos
<5986 <Amowc >, what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I
said <0559 >amar >, A plumbline <0594 >anak >. Then said <0559

<7760 suwm > a plumbline <0594 >anak > in the midst <7130 qereb

again <3254 yacaph > pass <5674 <abar > by them any more <5750

9 And the high <1116 bamah > places of Isaac <3446 Yischaq >
shall be desolate <8074 shamem >, and the sanctuaries <4720

house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > with the sword
<2719 chereb >.
10. Then Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the priest <3548 kohen > of
Bethel <1008 Beyth->El > sent <7971 shalach > to Jeroboam <3379
Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >, saying
<0559 >amar >, Amos <5986 <Amowc > hath conspired <7194 qashar >
against <5921 <al > thee in the midst <7130 qereb > of the house

11 For thus <3541 koh > Amos <5986 <Amowc > saith <0559 >amar >,
Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword
<2719 chereb >, and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall surely be led
away captive <1540 galah > out of their own land <0127 >adamah >.
12 Also Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > said <0559 >amar > unto Amos
<5986 <Amowc >, O thou seer <2374 chozeh >, go <3212 yalak >,
flee <1272 barach > thee away into <0413 >el > the land <0776
>erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah >, and there <8033 sham > eat
<0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem >, and prophesy <5012 naba> >
there <8033 sham >:
13 But prophesy <5012 naba> > not again <3254 yacaph > any more
<5750 <owd > at Bethel <1008 Beyth->El >: for it [is] the king's
<4428 melek > chapel <4720 miqdash >, and it [is] the king's
<4467 mamlakah > court <1004 bayith >.
14 Then answered <6030 <anah > Amos <5986 <Amowc >, and said
<0559 >amar > to Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah >, I [was] no <3808 lo>
> prophet <5030 nabiy> >, neither <3808 lo> > [was] I a
prophet's <5030 nabiy> > son <1121 ben >; but I [was] an herdman
<0951 bowker >, and a gatherer <1103 balac > of sycomore <8256
shaqam > fruit:
15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > took <3947 laqach > me as I
followed <0310 >achar > the flock <6629 tso>n >, and the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me, Go <3212 yalak >,
prophesy <5012 naba> > unto my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478
Yisra>el >.
16 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hear <8085 shama< > thou the
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >: Thou sayest
<0559 >amar >, Prophesy <5012 naba> > not against <5921 <al >
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 >
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >; Thy wife <0802 >ishshah > shall be an
harlot <2181 zanah > in the city <5892 <iyr >, and thy sons
<1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > shall fall <5307
naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb >, and thy land <0127 >adamah
> shall be divided <2505 chalaq > by line <2256 chebel >; 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 >.
Amos 8
1. Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih > shewed <7200 ra>ah > unto me: and behold <2009 hinneh

2 And he said <0559 >amar >, Amos <5986 <Amowc >, what <4100
mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou? And I said <0559 >amar >, A
basket <3619 k@lub > of summer <7019 qayits > fruit. Then said
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me, The end <7093
qets > is come <0935 bow> > upon my people <5971 <am > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >; I will not again <3254 yacaph > pass <5674
<abar > by them any more <5750 <owd >.
3 And the songs <7892 shiyr > of the temple <1964 heykal >
shall be howlings <3213 yalal > in that day <3117 yowm >, saith
<5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >:
[there shall be] many <7227 rab > dead <6297 peger > bodies
<6297 peger > in every <3605 kol > place <4725 maqowm >; they
shall cast <7993 shalak > [them] forth with silence <2013 hacah

4. Hear <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th >, O ye that swallow
<7602 sha>aph > up the needy <34>, even to make the poor of the
land <0776 >erets > to fail <7673 shabath >,
5 Saying <0559 >amar >, When <4970 mathay > will the new <2320
chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh > be gone <5674 <abar >, that we
may sell <7666 shabar > corn <7668 sheber >? and the sabbath
<7676 shabbath >, that we may set <6605 pathach > forth <6605
pathach > wheat <1250 bar >, making the ephah <0374 >eyphah >
small <6694 tsuwq >, and the shekel <8255 sheqel > great <1431
gadal >, and falsifying <5791 <avath > the balances <3976 mo>zen

6 That we may buy <7069 qanah > the poor <1800 dal > for silver
<3701 keceph >, and the needy <34> for a pair of shoes <5275
na<al >; [yea], and sell <7666 shabar > the refuse <4651 mappal

7 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sworn <7650 shaba< > by the
excellency <1347 ga>own > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob >, Surely I
will never forget <7911 shakach > any <3605 kol > of their works
<4639 ma<aseh >.
8 Shall not the land <0776 >erets > tremble <7264 ragaz > for
this <2063 zo>th >, and every <3605 kol > one mourn <56> that
dwelleth <3427 yashab > therein? and it shall rise <5927 <alah >
up wholly <3605 kol > as a flood <2975 y@<or >; and it shall be
cast <1644 garash > out and drowned <8248 shaqah >, as [by] the
flood <2975 y@<or > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.
9 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117
yowm >, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih >, that I will cause the sun <8121 shemesh > to go <0935
bow> > down at noon <6672 tsohar >, and I will darken <2821
chashak > the earth <0776 >erets > in the clear <0216 >owr > day
<3117 yowm >:
10 And I will turn <2015 haphak > your feasts <2282 chag > into
mourning <60>, and all <3605 kol > your songs <7892 shiyr > into
lamentation <7015 qiynah >; and I will bring <5927 <alah > up
sackcloth <8242 saq > upon all <3605 kol > loins <4975 mothen >,
and baldness <7144 qorchah > upon every <3605 kol > head <7218
ro>sh >; and I will make <7760 suwm > it as the mourning <60> of
an only <3173 yachiyd > [son], and the end <0319 >achariyth >
thereof as a bitter <4751 mar > day <3117 yowm >.
11. Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935
bow> >, saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069
Y@hovih >, that I will send <7971 shalach > a famine <7458 ra<ab

bread <3899 lechem >, nor <3808 lo> > a thirst <6772 tsama> >
for water <4325 mayim >, but of hearing <8085 shama< > the words
<1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >:
12 And they shall wander <5128 nuwa< > from sea <3220 yam > to
sea <3220 yam >, and from the north <6828 tsaphown > even to the
east <4217 mizrach >, they shall run <7751 shuwt > to and fro
<7751 shuwt > to seek <1245 baqash > the word <1697 dabar > of
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, and shall not find <4672 matsa> > [it].
13 In that day <3117 yowm > shall the fair <3303 yapheh >
virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > and young <0970 bachuwr > men faint
<5968 <alaph > for thirst <6772 tsama> >.
14 They that swear <7650 shaba< > by the sin <0819 >ashmah > of
Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and say <0559 >amar >, Thy god <0430
>elohiym >, O Dan <1835 Dan >, liveth <2416 chay >; and, The
manner <1870 derek > of Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< > liveth
<2416 chay >; even they shall fall <5307 naphal >, and never
<3808 lo> > rise <6965 quwm > up again <5750 <owd >.
Amos 9
1. I saw <7200 ra>ah > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > standing <5324
natsab > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach >: and he said <0559
>amar >, Smite <5221 nakah > the lintel <3730 kaphtor > of the
door, that the posts <5592 caph > may shake <7493 ra<ash >: and
cut <1214 batsa< > them in the head <7218 ro>sh >, all <3605 kol

fleeth <5127 nuwc > of them shall not flee <5127 nuwc > away,
and he that escapeth <6412 paliyt > of them shall not be
delivered <4422 malat >.
2 Though <0518 >im > they dig <2864 chathar > into hell <7585
sh@>owl >, thence <8033 sham > shall mine hand <3027 yad > take
<3947 laqach > them; though <0518 >im > they climb <5927 <alah >
up to heaven <8064 shamayim >, thence <8033 sham > will I bring
<3381 yarad > them down <3381 yarad >:
3 And though <0518 >im > they hide <2244> themselves in the top
<7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel >, I will search <2664
chaphas > and take <3947 laqach > them out thence <8033 sham >;
and though <0518 >im > they be hid <5641 cathar > from my sight
<5869 <ayin > in the bottom <7172 qarqa< > of the sea <3220 yam

<5175 nachash >, and he shall bite <5391 nashak > them:
4 And though <0518 >im > they go <3212 yalak > into captivity
<7628 sh@biy > before <6440 paniym > their enemies <0341 >oyeb >,
thence <8033 sham > will I command <6680 tsavah > the sword
<2719 chereb >, and it shall slay <2026 harag > them: and I will
set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon them for evil
<7451 ra< >, and not for good <2896 towb >.
5 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts
<6635 tsaba> > [is] he that toucheth <5060 naga< > the land
<0776 >erets >, and it shall melt <4127 muwg >, and all <3605
kol > that dwell therein shall mourn <56>: and it shall rise
<5927 <alah > up wholly <3605 kol > like a flood <2975 y@<or >;
and shall be drowned <8248 shaqah >, as [by] the flood <2975
y@<or > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >.
6 [It is] he that buildeth <1129 banah > his stories <4609
ma<alah > in the heaven <8064 shamayim >, and hath founded <3245
yacad > his troop <92> in the earth <0776 >erets >; he that
calleth <7121 qara> > for the waters <4325 mayim > of the sea
<3220 yam >, and poureth <8210 shaphak > them out upon the face
<6440 paniym > of the earth <0776 >erets >: The LORD <3068
Y@hovah > [is] his name <8034 shem >.
7 [Are] ye not as children <1121 ben > of the Ethiopians <3569
Kuwshiy > unto me, O children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el >? saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >. Have
not I brought <5927 <alah > up Israel <3478 Yisra>el > out of
the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim >? and the
Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > from Caphtor <3731 Kaphtor >, and
the Syrians <0758 >Aram > from Kir <7024 Qiyr >?
8 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the Lord
<0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > [are] upon the sinful <2401
chata>ah > kingdom <4467 mamlakah >, and I will destroy <8045
shamad > it from off <5921 <al > the face <6440 paniym > of the
earth <0127 >adamah >; saving <0657 >ephec > that I will not
utterly destroy <8045 shamad > the house <1004 bayith > of Jacob
<3290 Ya<aqob >, saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah >.
9 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, I will command <6680 tsavah >, and I
will sift <5128 nuwa< > the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478
Yisra>el > among all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy >, like as
[corn] is sifted <5128 nuwa< > in a sieve <3531 k@barah >, yet
shall not the least grain <6872 ts@rowr > fall <5307 naphal >
upon the earth <0776 >erets >.
10 All <3605 kol > the sinners <2400 chatta> > of my people
<5971 <am > shall die <4191 muwth > by the sword <2719 chereb >,
which say <0559 >amar >, The evil <7451 ra< > shall not overtake
<5066 nagash > nor prevent <6923 qadam > us.
11. In that day <3117 yowm > will I raise <6965 quwm > up the
tabernacle <5521 cukkah > of David <1732 David > that is fallen
<5307 naphal >, and close <1443 gadar > up the breaches <6556

<2034 hariycah >, and I will build <1129 banah > it as in the
days <3117 yowm > of old <5769 <owlam >:
12 That they may possess <3423 yarash > the remnant <7611

13 Behold <2009 hinneh >, the days <3117 yowm > come <0935 bow>

plowman <2790 charash > shall overtake <5066 nagash > the reaper

<enab > him that soweth <4900 mashak > seed <2233 zera< >; and
the mountains <2022 har > shall drop <5197 nataph > sweet <6071
<aciyc > wine <6071 <aciyc >, and all <3605 kol > the hills
<1389 gib<ah > shall melt <4127 muwg >.
14 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the
captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > of Israel
<3478 Yisra>el >, and they shall build <1129 banah > the waste

they shall also make <6213 <asah > gardens <1593 gannah >, and
eat <0398 >akal > the fruit <6529 p@riy > of them.
15 And I will plant <5193 nata< > them upon their land <0127
