ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

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.

*AM-2:1 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab,

and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof;

because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:

AM-2:2 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour

the palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with

shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet:

AM-2:3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and

will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.

AM-2:4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah,

and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof;

because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not

kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after

the which their fathers have walked:

AM-2:5 But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour

the palaces of Jerusalem.

AM-2:6 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel,

and for four, I will not turn away [the punishment] thereof;

because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a

pair of shoes;

AM-2:7 That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the

poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his

father will go in unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name:

AM-2:8 And they lay [themselves] down upon clothes laid to

pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned

[in] the house of their god.

AM-2:9 Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height

[was] like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the

oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from

beneath.

AM-2:10 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led

you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of

the Amorite.

AM-2:11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your

young men for Nazarites. [Is it] not even thus, O ye children of

Israel? saith the LORD.

AM-2:12 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded

the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

AM-2:13 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed

[that is] full of sheaves.

AM-2:14 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and

the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the

mighty deliver himself:

AM-2:15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and [he

that is] swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither

shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself.

AM-2:16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty shall flee

away naked in that day, saith the LORD.

*AM-3:1 Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O

children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up

from the land of Egypt, saying,

AM-3:2 You only have I known of all the families of the earth:

therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

AM-3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?

AM-3:4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey?

will a young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?

AM-3:5 Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin

[is] for him? shall [one] take up a snare from the earth, and

have taken nothing at all?

AM-3:6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not

be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not

done [it]?

AM-3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth

his secret unto his servants the prophets.

AM-3:8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD

hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

AM-3:9 Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in

the land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the

mountains of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst

thereof, and the oppressed in the midst thereof.

AM-3:10 For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who

store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

AM-3:11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary [there

shall be] even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy

strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

AM-3:12 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the

mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the

children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the

corner of a bed, and in Damascus [in] a couch.

AM-3:13 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the

Lord GOD, the God of hosts,

AM-3:14 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions

of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and

the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

AM-3:15 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house;

and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses

shall have an end, saith the LORD.

*AM-4:1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that [are] in the

mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the

needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

AM-4:2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the

days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks,

and your posterity with fishhooks.

AM-4:3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every [cow at that

which is] before her; and ye shall cast [them] into the palace,

saith the LORD.

AM-4:4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply

transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, [and]

your tithes after three years:

AM-4:5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and

proclaim [and] publish the free offerings: for this liketh you,

O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

AM-4:6 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your

cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not

returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AM-4:7 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when

[there were] yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to

rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city:

one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not

withered.

AM-4:8 So two [or] three cities wandered unto one city, to

drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not

returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AM-4:9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your

gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive

trees increased, the palmerworm devoured [them]: yet have ye not

returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AM-4:10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner

of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have

taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps

to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned unto me,

saith the LORD.

AM-4:11 I have overthrown [some] of you, as God overthrew Sodom

and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the

burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.

AM-4:12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: [and]

because I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O

Israel.

AM-4:13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth

the wind, and declareth unto man what [is] his thought, that

maketh the morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places

of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, [is] his name.

*AM-5:1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, [even] a

lamentation, O house of Israel.

AM-5:2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise:

she is forsaken upon her land; [there is] none to raise her up.

AM-5:3 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out [by]

a thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth

[by] an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.

AM-5:4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek

ye me, and ye shall live:

AM-5:5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not

to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and

Bethel shall come to nought.

AM-5:6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like

fire in the house of Joseph, and devour [it], and [there be]

none to quench [it] in Bethel.

AM-5:7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off

righteousness in the earth,

AM-5:8 [Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and

turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day

dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and

poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his

name:

AM-5:9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so

that the spoiled shall come against the fortress.

AM-5:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor

him that speaketh uprightly.

AM-5:11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading [is] upon the poor,

and ye take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of

hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted

pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.

AM-5:12 For I know your manifold transgressions, and your

mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they

turn aside the poor in the gate [from their right].

AM-5:13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time;

for it [is] an evil time.

AM-5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the

LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.

AM-5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish

judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will

be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.

AM-5:16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith

thus; Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in

all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman

to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.

AM-5:17 And in all vineyards [shall be] wailing: for I will

pass through thee, saith the LORD.

AM-5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what

end [is] it for you? the day of the LORD [is] darkness, and not

light.

AM-5:19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him;

or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a

serpent bit him.

AM-5:20 [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness, and not

light? even very dark, and no brightness in it?

AM-5:21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell

in your solemn assemblies.

AM-5:22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat

offerings, I will not accept [them]: neither will I regard the

peace offerings of your fat beasts.

AM-5:23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I

will not hear the melody of thy viols.

AM-5:24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness

as a mighty stream.

AM-5:25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the

wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?

AM-5:26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and

Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to

yourselves.

AM-5:27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond

Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name [is] The God of hosts.

*AM-6:1 Woe to them [that are] at ease in Zion, and trust in

the mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the nations,

to whom the house of Israel came!

AM-6:2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to

Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [be

they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than

your border?

AM-6:3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of

violence to come near;

AM-6:4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon

their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the

calves out of the midst of the stall;

AM-6:5 That chant to the sound of the viol, [and] invent to

themselves instruments of music, like David;

AM-6:6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the

chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of

Joseph.

AM-6:7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that

go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves

shall be removed.

AM-6:8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the

God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his

palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is

therein.

AM-6:9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in

one house, that they shall die.

AM-6:10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that

burneth him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall

say unto him that [is] by the sides of the house, [Is there] yet

[any] with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold

thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

AM-6:11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the

great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.

AM-6:12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will [one] plow [there]

with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit

of righteousness into hemlock:

AM-6:13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have

we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

AM-6:14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O

house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall

afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the

wilderness.

*AM-7:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me; and, behold, he

formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the

latter growth; and, lo, [it was] the latter growth after the

king's mowings.

AM-7:2 And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of

eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive,

I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.

AM-7:3 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the

LORD.

AM-7:4 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and, behold, the

Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great

deep, and did eat up a part.

AM-7:5 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom

shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.

AM-7:6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be,

saith the Lord GOD.

AM-7:7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a

wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

AM-7:8 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I

said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a

plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again

pass by them any more:

AM-7:9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the

sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise

against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

AM-7:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king

of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst

of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his

words.

AM-7:11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword,

and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own

land.

AM-7:12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee

away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy

there:

AM-7:13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it [is]

the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.

AM-7:14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no

prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman,

and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

AM-7:15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the

LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

AM-7:16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou

sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word]

against the house of Isaac.

AM-7:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an

harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by

the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt

die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into

captivity forth of his land.

*AM-8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and behold a

basket of summer fruit.

AM-8:2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket

of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come

upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

AM-8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that

day, saith the Lord GOD: [there shall be] many dead bodies in

every place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.

AM-8:4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make

the poor of the land to fail,

AM-8:5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell

corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the

ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances

by deceit?

AM-8:6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a

pair of shoes; [yea], and sell the refuse of the wheat?

AM-8:7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I

will never forget any of their works.

AM-8:8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn

that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood;

and it shall be cast out and drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.

AM-8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord

GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will

darken the earth in the clear day:

AM-8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your

songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all

loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the

mourning of an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.

AM-8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will

send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst

for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

AM-8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the

north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the

word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].

AM-8:13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint

for thirst.

AM-8:14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god,

O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they

shall fall, and never rise up again.

*AM-9:1 I saw the Lord standing upon the altar: and he said,

Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut

them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them

with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and

he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.

AM-9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take

them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them

down:

AM-9:3 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I

will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid

from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command

the serpent, and he shall bite them:

AM-9:4 And though they go into captivity before their enemies,

thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I

will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

AM-9:5 And the Lord GOD of hosts [is] he that toucheth the land,

and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and

it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as

[by] the flood of Egypt.

AM-9:6 [It is] he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and

hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the

waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the

earth: The LORD [is] his name.

AM-9:7 [Are] ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O

children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel

out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and

the Syrians from Kir?

AM-9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] upon the sinful

kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth;

saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith

the LORD.

AM-9:9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of

Israel among all nations, like as [corn] is sifted in a sieve,

yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

AM-9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,

which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.

AM-9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David

that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will

raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

AM-9:12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all

the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that

doeth this.

AM-9:13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman

shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that

soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all

the hills shall melt.

AM-9:14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of

Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit

[them]; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine

thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

AM-9:15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall

no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them,

saith the LORD thy God.
