Amos 1



 1. The words <1697> of Amos <5986>, who <0834> was among the 
herdmen <5349> of Tekoa <8620>, which <0834> he saw <2372> 
concerning <5921> Israel <3478> in the days <3117> of Uzziah 
<5818> king <4428> of Judah <3063>, and in the days <3117> of 
Jeroboam <3379> the son <1121> of Joash <3101> king <4428> of 
Israel <3478>, two years <8141> before <6440> the earthquake 
<7494>.



 2 And he said <0559>, The LORD <3068> will roar <7580> from 
Zion <6726>, and utter <5414> his voice <6963> from Jerusalem 
<3389>; and the habitations <4999> of the shepherds <7462> shall 
mourn <56>, and the top <7218> of Carmel <3760> shall wither 
<3001>.



 3. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Damascus <1834>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> they have threshed <1758> Gilead <1568> with threshing 
<2742> instruments of iron <1270>:



 4 But I will send <7971> a fire <0784> into the house <1004> of 
Hazael <2371>, which shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> of 
Benhadad <1130>.



 5 I will break <7665> also the bar <1280> of Damascus <1834>, 
and cut <3772> off the inhabitant <3427> from the plain <1237> 
of Aven <0206>, and him that holdeth <8551> the sceptre <7626> 
from the house <1004> of Eden <5731>: and the people <5971> of 
Syria <0758> shall go into captivity <1540> unto Kir <7024>, 
saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



 6 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Gaza <5804>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> they carried <1540> away captive <1540> the whole <8003> 
captivity <1546>, to deliver <5462> [them] up to Edom <0123>:



 7 But I will send <7971> a fire <0784> on the wall <2346> of 
Gaza <5804>, which shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> 
thereof:



 8 And I will cut <3772> off the inhabitant <3427> from Ashdod 
<0795>, and him that holdeth <8551> the sceptre <7626> from 
Ashkelon <0831>, and I will turn <7725> mine hand <3027> against 
<5921> Ekron <6138>: and the remnant <7611> of the Philistines 
<6430> shall perish <6>, saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>.



 9 Thus saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Tyrus <6865>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> they delivered <5462> up the whole <8003> captivity 
<1546> to Edom <0123>, and remembered <2142> not the brotherly 
covenant <1285>:



 10 But I will send <7971> a fire <0784> on the wall <2346> of 
Tyrus <6865>, which shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> 
thereof.



 11 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Edom <0123>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> he did pursue <7291> his brother <0251> with the sword 
<2719>, and did cast <7843> off all pity <7356>, and his anger 
<0639> did tear <2963> perpetually <5703>, and he kept <8104> 
his wrath <5678> for ever <5331>:



 12 But I will send <7971> a fire <0784> upon Teman <8487>, 
which shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> of Bozrah <1224>.



 13 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of the children <1121> of Ammon <5983>, 
and for four <0702>, I will not turn <7725> away [the 
punishment] thereof; because <5921> they have ripped <1234> up 
the women with child <2030> of Gilead <1568>, that they might 
enlarge <7337> their border <1366>:



 14 But I will kindle <3341> a fire <0784> in the wall <2346> of 
Rabbah <7237>, and it shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> 
thereof, with shouting <8643> in the day <3117> of battle <4421>,
 with a tempest <5591> in the day <3117> of the whirlwind <5492>:



 15 And their king <4428> shall go <1980> into captivity <1473>, 
he and his princes <8269> together <3162>, saith <0559> the LORD 
<3068>.



Amos 2



 1. Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Moab <4124>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> he burned <8313> the bones <6106> of the king <4428> of 
Edom <0123> into lime <7875>:



 2 But I will send <7971> a fire <0784> upon Moab <4124>, and it 
shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> of Kerioth <7152>: and 
Moab <4124> shall die <4191> with tumult <7588>, with shouting 
<8643>, [and] with the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>:



 3 And I will cut <3772> off the judge <8199> from the midst 
<7130> thereof, and will slay <2026> all <3605> the princes 
<8269> thereof with him, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



 4 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Judah <3063>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> they have despised <3988> the law <8451> of the LORD 
<3068>, and have not kept <8104> his commandments <2706>, and 
their lies <3576> caused them to err <8582>, after <0310> the 
which <0834> their fathers <1> have walked <1980>:



 5 But I will send <7971> a fire <0784> upon Judah <3063>, and 
it shall devour <0398> the palaces <0759> of Jerusalem <3389>.



 6 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; For three <7969> 
transgressions <6588> of Israel <3478>, and for four <0702>, I 
will not turn <7725> away [the punishment] thereof; because 
<5921> they sold <4376> the righteous <6662> for silver <3701>, 
and the poor <34> for a pair of shoes <5275>;



 7 That pant <7602> after <5921> the dust <6083> of the earth 
<0776> on the head <7218> of the poor <1800>, and turn <5186> 
aside <5186> the way <1870> of the meek <6035>: and a man <0376> 
and his father <2> will go <3212> in unto the [same] maid <5291>,
 to profane <2490> my holy <6944> name <8034>:



 8 And they lay <5186> [themselves] down upon clothes <0899> 
laid to pledge <2254> by every <3605> altar <4196>, and they 
drink <8354> the wine <3196> of the condemned <6064> [in] the 
house <1004> of their god <0430>.



 9. Yet destroyed <8045> I the Amorite <0567> before <6440> them,
 whose <0834> height <1363> [was] like the height <1363> of the 
cedars <0730>, and he [was] strong <2364> as the oaks <0437>; 
yet I destroyed <8045> his fruit <6529> from above <4605>, and 
his roots <8328> from beneath <8478>.



 10 Also I brought <5927> you up from the land <0776> of Egypt 
<4714>, and led <3212> you forty <0705> years <8141> through the 
wilderness <4057>, to possess <3423> the land <0776> of the 
Amorite <0567>.



 11 And I raised <6965> up of your sons <1121> for prophets 
<5030>, and of your young <0970> men for Nazarites <5139>. [Is 
it] not even <0637> thus <2063>, O ye children <1121> of Israel 
<3478>? saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



 12 But ye gave the Nazarites <5139> wine <3196> to drink <8248>;
 and commanded <6680> the prophets <5030>, saying <0559>, 
Prophesy <5012> not.



 13 Behold <2009>, I am pressed <5781> under <8478> you, as a 
cart <5699> is pressed <5781> [that is] full <4392> of sheaves 
<5995>.



 14 Therefore the flight <4498> shall perish <6> from the swift 
<7031>, and the strong <2389> shall not strengthen <0553> his 
force <3581>, neither <3808> shall the mighty <1368> deliver 
<4422> himself <5315>:



 15 Neither <3808> shall he stand <5975> that handleth <8610> 
the bow <7198>; and [he that is] swift <7031> of foot <7272> 
shall not deliver <4422> [himself <5315>]: neither <3808> shall 
he that rideth <7392> the horse <5483> deliver <4422> himself 
<5315>.



 16 And [he that is] courageous among the mighty <1368> shall 
flee <5127> away naked <6174> in that day <3117>, saith <5002> 
the LORD <3068>.



Amos 3



 1. Hear <8085> this <2088> word <1697> that the LORD <3068> 
hath spoken <1696> against <5921> you, O children <1121> of 
Israel <3478>, against <5921> the whole <3605> family <4940> 
which <0834> I brought <5927> up from the land <0776> of Egypt 
<4714>, saying <0559>,



 2 You only <7535> have I known <3045> of all <3605> the 
families <4940> of the earth <0127>: therefore I will punish 
<6485> you for all <3605> your iniquities <5771>.



 3 Can two <8147> walk <3212> together <3162>, except <1115> 
they be agreed <3259>?



 4 Will a lion <0738> roar <7580> in the forest <3293>, when he 
hath no <0369> prey <2964>? will a young <3715> lion <3715> cry 
out of his den <4585>, if <0518> he have taken <3920> nothing 
<1115>?



 5 Can a bird <6833> fall <5307> in a snare <6341> upon the 
earth <0776>, where no <0369> gin <4170> [is] for him? shall 
[one] take <5927> up a snare <6341> from the earth <0127>, and 
have taken <3947> nothing <3808> at all?



 6 Shall a trumpet <7782> be blown <8628> in the city <5892>, 
and the people <5971> not be afraid <2729>? shall there be evil 
<7451> in a city <5892>, and the LORD <3068> hath not done 
<6213> [it]?



 7 Surely <3588> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> will do <6213> 
nothing, but he revealeth <1540> his secret <5475> unto his 
servants <5650> the prophets <5030>.



 8 The lion <0738> hath roared <7580>, who <4310> will not fear 
<3372>? the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath spoken <1696>, who 
<4310> can but prophesy <5012>?



 9. Publish <8085> in the palaces <0759> at Ashdod <0795>, and 
in the palaces <0759> in the land <0776> of Egypt <4714>, and 
say <0559>, Assemble <0622> yourselves upon the mountains <2022> 
of Samaria <8111>, and behold <7200> the great <7227> tumults 
<4103> in the midst <7130> thereof, and the oppressed <6217> in 
the midst <8432> thereof.



 10 For they know <3045> not to do <6213> right <5229>, saith 
<5002> the LORD <3068>, who store <0686> up violence <2555> and 
robbery <7701> in their palaces <0759>.



 11 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> 
GOD <3069>; An adversary <6862> [there shall be] even round 
<5439> about the land <0776>; and he shall bring <3381> down 
<3381> thy strength <5797> from thee, and thy palaces <0759> 
shall be spoiled <0962>.



 12 Thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; As the shepherd 
<7462> taketh <5337> out of the mouth <6310> of the lion <0738> 
two <8147> legs <3767>, or <0176> a piece <0915> of an ear 
<0241>; so <3651> shall the children <1121> of Israel <3478> be 
taken <5337> out that dwell <3427> in Samaria <8111> in the 
corner <6285> of a bed <4296>, and in Damascus <1834> [in] a 
couch <6210>.



 13 Hear <8085> ye, and testify <5749> in the house <1004> of 
Jacob <3290>, saith <5001> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, the God 
<0430> of hosts <6635>,



 14 That in the day <3117> that I shall visit <6485> the 
transgressions <6588> of Israel <3478> upon him I will also 
visit <6485> the altars <4196> of Bethel <1008>: and the horns 
<7161> of the altar <4196> shall be cut <1438> off, and fall 
<5307> to the ground <0776>.



 15 And I will smite <5221> the winter <2779> house <1004> with 
the summer <7019> house <1004>; and the houses <1004> of ivory 
<8127> shall perish <6>, and the great <7227> houses <1004> 
shall have an end <5486>, saith <5001> the LORD <3068>.



Amos 4



 1. Hear <8085> this <2088> word <1697>, ye kine <6510> of 
Bashan <1316>, that [are] in the mountain <2022> of Samaria 
<8111>, which oppress <6231> the poor <1800>, which crush <7533> 
the needy <34>, which say <0559> to their masters <0113>, Bring 
<0935>, and let us drink <8354>.



 2 The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath sworn <7650> by his holiness 
<6944>, that, lo <2009>, the days <3117> shall come <0935> upon 
you, that he will take <5375> you away with hooks <6793>, and 
your posterity <0319> with fishhooks.



 3 And ye shall go <3318> out at the breaches <6556>, every 
<0802> [cow at that which is] before <5084> her; and ye shall 
cast <7993> [them] into the palace <2038>, saith <5001> the LORD 
<3068>.



 4 Come <0935> to Bethel <1008>, and transgress <6586>; at 
Gilgal <1537> multiply <7235> transgression <6588>; and bring 
<0935> your sacrifices <2077> every morning <1242>, [and] your 
tithes <4643> after three <7969> years <3117>:



 5 And offer <6999> a sacrifice of thanksgiving <8426> with 
leaven <2557>, and proclaim <7121> [and] publish <8085> the free 
<5071> offerings: for this <3651> liketh <0157> you, O ye 
children <1121> of Israel <3478>, saith <5001> the Lord <0136> 
GOD <3069>.



 6. And I also <1571> have given <5414> you cleanness <5356> of 
teeth <8127> in all <3605> your cities <5892>, and want <2640> 
of bread <3899> in all <3605> your places <4725>: yet have ye 
not returned <7725> unto me, saith <5001> the LORD <3068>.



 7 And also <1571> I have withholden <4513> the rain <1653> from 
you, when [there were] yet <5750> three <7969> months <2320> to 
the harvest <7105>: and I caused it to rain <4305> upon one 
<0259> city <5892>, and caused it not to rain <4305> upon 
another <0259> city <5892>: one <0259> piece was rained <4305> 
upon, and the piece whereupon it rained <4305> not withered 
<3001>.



 8 So two <8147> [or] three <7969> cities <5892> wandered <5128> 
unto one <0259> city <5892>, to drink <8354> water <4325>; but 
they were not satisfied <7646>: yet have ye not returned <7725> 
unto me, saith <5001> the LORD <3068>.



 9 I have smitten <5221> you with blasting <7711> and mildew 
<3420>: when your gardens <1593> and your vineyards <3754> and 
your fig <8384> trees and your olive <2132> trees increased 
<7235>, the palmerworm <1501> devoured <0398> [them]: yet have 
ye not returned <7725> unto me, saith <5001> the LORD <3068>.



 10 I have sent <7971> among you the pestilence <1698> after the 
manner <1870> of Egypt <4714>: your young <0970> men have I 
slain <2026> with the sword <2719>, and have taken <7628> away 
<7628> your horses <5483>; and I have made the stink <0889> of 
your camps <4264> to come <5927> up unto your nostrils <0639>: 
yet have ye not returned <7725> unto me, saith <5001> the LORD 
<3068>.



 11 I have overthrown <2015> [some] of you, as God <0430> 
overthrew <4114> Sodom <5467> and Gomorrah <6017>, and ye were 
as a firebrand <0181> plucked <5337> out of the burning <8316>: 
yet have ye not returned <7725> unto me, saith <5001> the LORD 
<3068>.



 12 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> will I do <6213> unto thee, O 
Israel <3478>: [and] because I will do <6213> this <2063> unto 
thee, prepare <3559> to meet <7125> thy God <0430>, O Israel 
<3478>.



 13 For, lo <2009>, he that formeth <3335> the mountains <2022>, 
and createth <1254> the wind <7307>, and declareth <5046> unto 
man <0120> what <4100> [is] his thought <7807>, that maketh 
<6213> the morning <7837> darkness <5890>, and treadeth <1869> 
upon the high <1116> places of the earth <0776>, The LORD <3068>,
 The God <0430> of hosts <6635>, [is] his name <8034>.



Amos 5



 1. Hear <8085> ye this <2088> word <1697> which <0834> I take 
<5375> up against <5921> you, [even] a lamentation <7015>, O 
house <1004> of Israel <3478>.



 2 The virgin <1330> of Israel <3478> is fallen <5307>; she 
shall no <3808> more <5750> rise <6965>: she is forsaken <5203> 
upon her land <0127>; [there is] none <0369> to raise <6965> her 
up.



 3 For thus <3541> saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>; The 
city <5892> that went <3318> out [by] a thousand <0505> shall 
leave <7604> an hundred <3967>, and that which went <3318> forth 
<3318> [by] an hundred <3967> shall leave <7604> ten <6235>, to 
the house <1004> of Israel <3478>.



 4. For thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068> unto the house 
<1004> of Israel <3478>, Seek <1875> ye me, and ye shall live 
<2421>:



 5 But seek <1875> not Bethel <1008>, nor <3808> enter <0935> 
into Gilgal <1537>, and pass <5674> not to Beersheba <0884>: for 
Gilgal <1537> shall surely go into captivity <1540>, and Bethel 
<1008> shall come <1961> to nought <0205>.



 6 Seek <1875> the LORD <3068>, and ye shall live <2421>; lest 
<6435> he break <6743> out like fire <0784> in the house <1004> 
of Joseph <3130>, and devour <0398> [it], and [there be] none 
<0369> to quench <3518> [it] in Bethel <1008>.



 7 Ye who turn <2015> judgment <4941> to wormwood <3939>, and 
leave <3241> off righteousness <6666> in the earth <0776>,



 8 [Seek him] that maketh <6213> the seven <3598> stars <3598> 
and Orion <3685>, and turneth <2015> the shadow <6757> of death 
<6757> into the morning <1242>, and maketh the day <3117> dark 
<2821> with night <3915>: that calleth <7121> for the waters 
<4325> of the sea <3220>, and poureth <8210> them out upon the 
face <6440> of the earth <0776>: The LORD <3068> [is] his name 
<8034>:



 9 That strengtheneth <1082> the spoiled <7701> against <5921> 
the strong <5794>, so that the spoiled <7701> shall come <0935> 
against <5921> the fortress <4013>.



 10 They hate <8130> him that rebuketh <3198> in the gate <8179>,
 and they abhor <8581> him that speaketh <1696> uprightly <8549>.



 11 Forasmuch <3282> therefore <3651> as your treading <1318> 
[is] upon the poor <1800>, and ye take <3947> from him burdens 
<4864> of wheat <1250>: ye have built <1129> houses <1004> of 
hewn <1496> stone <1496>, but ye shall not dwell <3427> in them; 
ye have planted <5193> pleasant <2531> vineyards <3754>, but ye 
shall not drink <8354> wine <3196> of them.



 12 For I know <3045> your manifold <7227> transgressions <6588> 
and your mighty <6099> sins <2403>: they afflict <6887> the just 
<6662>, they take <3947> a bribe <3724>, and they turn <5186> 
aside <5186> the poor <34> in the gate <8179> [from their right].



 13 Therefore <3651> the prudent <7919> shall keep silence 
<1826> in that time <6256>; for it [is] an evil <7451> time 
<6256>.



 14 Seek <1875> good <2896>, and not evil <7451>, that ye may 
live <2421>: and so <3651> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of 
hosts <6635>, shall be with you, as ye have spoken <0559>.



 15 Hate <8130> the evil <7451>, and love <0157> the good <2896>,
 and establish <3322> judgment <4941> in the gate <8179>: it may 
be that the LORD <3068> God <0430> of hosts <6635> will be 
gracious <2587> unto the remnant <7611> of Joseph <3130>.



 16. Therefore <3651> the LORD <3068>, the God <0430> of hosts 
<6635>, the Lord <0136>, saith <0559> thus <3541>; Wailing 
<4553> [shall be] in all <3605> streets <7339>; and they shall 
say <0559> in all <3605> the highways <2351>, Alas <1930>! alas 
<1930>! and they shall call <7121> the husbandman <0406> to 
mourning <60>, and such as are skilful <3045> of lamentation 
<5092> to wailing <4553>.



 17 And in all <3605> vineyards <3754> [shall be] wailing <4553>:
 for I will pass <5674> through <7130> thee, saith <0559> the 
LORD <3068>.



 18 Woe <1945> unto you that desire <0183> the day <3117> of the 
LORD <3068>! to what <4100> end [is] it for you? the day <3117> 
of the LORD <3068> [is] darkness <2822>, and not light <0216>.



 19 As if <0834> a man <0376> did flee <5127> from a lion <0738>,
 and a bear <1677> met <6293> him; or went <0935> into the house 
<1004>, and leaned <5564> his hand <3027> on <5921> the wall 
<7023>, and a serpent <5175> bit <5391> him.



 20 [Shall] not the day <3117> of the LORD <3068> [be] darkness 
<2822>, and not light <0216>? even very <0651> dark <0651>, and 
no <3808> brightness <5051> in it?



 21. I hate <8130>, I despise <3988> your feast <2282> days, and 
I will not smell <7306> in your solemn <6116> assemblies <6116>.



 22 Though ye offer <5927> me burnt <5930> offerings and your 
meat offerings <4503>, I will not accept <7521> [them]: neither 
<3808> will I regard <5027> the peace <8002> offerings of your 
fat <4806> beasts <4806>.



 23 Take <5493> thou away <5493> from me the noise <1995> of thy 
songs <7892>; for I will not hear <8085> the melody <2172> of 
thy viols <5035>.



 24 But let judgment <4941> run <1556> down as waters <4325>, 
and righteousness <6666> as a mighty <0386> stream <5158>.



 25 Have ye offered <5066> unto me sacrifices <2077> and 
offerings <4503> in the wilderness <4057> forty <0705> years 
<8141>, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>?



 26 But ye have borne <5375> the tabernacle <5522> of your 
Moloch <4432> and Chiun <3594> your images <6754>, the star 
<3556> of your god <0430>, which <0834> ye made <6213> to 
yourselves.



 27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity <1540> 
beyond <1973> Damascus <1834>, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>, 
whose name <8034> [is] The God <0430> of hosts <6635>.



Amos 6



 1. Woe <1945> to them [that are] at ease <7600> in Zion <6726>, 
and trust <0982> in the mountain <2022> of Samaria <8111>, 
[which are] named <5344> chief <7225> of the nations <1471>, to 
whom <1992> the house <1004> of Israel <3478> came <0935>!



 2 Pass <5674> ye unto Calneh <3641>, and see <7200>; and from 
thence <8033> go <3212> ye to Hamath <2579> the great <7227>: 
then go <3381> down <3381> to Gath <1661> of the Philistines 
<6430>: [be they] better <2896> than <4480> these <0428> 
kingdoms <4467>? or their border <1366> greater <7227> than your 
border <1366>?



 3 Ye that put far away <5077> the evil <7451> day <3117>, and 
cause the seat <7675> of violence <2555> to come <5066> near 
<5066>;



 4 That lie <7901> upon beds <4296> of ivory <8127>, and stretch 
<5628> themselves upon their couches <6210>, and eat <0398> the 
lambs <3733> out of the flock <6629>, and the calves <5695> out 
of the midst <8432> of the stall <4770>;



 5 That chant <6527> to the sound <6310> of the viol <5035>, 
[and] invent <2803> to themselves <1992> instruments <3627> of 
musick <7892>, like David <1732>;



 6 That drink <8354> wine <3196> in bowls <4219>, and anoint 
<4886> themselves with the chief <7225> ointments <8081>: but 
they are not grieved <2470> for the affliction <7667> of Joseph 
<3130>.



 7 Therefore <3651> now <6258> shall they go captive <1540> with 
the first <7218> that go captive <1540>, and the banquet <4797> 
of them that stretched <5628> themselves shall be removed <5493>.



 8. The Lord <0136> GOD <3069> hath sworn <7650> by himself 
<5315>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> the God <0430> of hosts 
<6635>, I abhor <8374> the excellency <1347> of Jacob <3290>, 
and hate <8130> his palaces <0759>: therefore will I deliver 
<5462> up the city <5892> with all <4393> that is therein <4393>.



 9 And it shall come <1961> to pass, if <0518> there remain 
<3498> ten <6235> men <0582> in one <0259> house <1004>, that 
they shall die <4191>.



 10 And a man's uncle <1730> shall take <5375> him up, and he 
that burneth <5635> him, to bring <3318> out the bones <6106> 
out of the house <1004>, and shall say <0559> unto him that [is] 
by the sides <3411> of the house <1004>, [Is there] yet [any] 
with thee? and he shall say <0559>, No <0657>. Then shall he say 
<0559>, Hold <2013> thy tongue <2013>: for we may not make 
mention <2142> of the name <8034> of the LORD <3068>.



 11 For, behold <2009>, the LORD <3068> commandeth <6680>, and 
he will smite <5221> the great <1419> house <1004> with breaches 
<7447>, and the little <6996> house <1004> with clefts <1233>.



 12 Shall horses <5483> run <7323> upon the rock <5558>? will 
[one] plow <2790> [there] with oxen <1241>? for ye have turned 
<2015> judgment <4941> into gall <7219>, and the fruit <6529> of 
righteousness <6666> into hemlock <3939>:



 13 Ye which rejoice <8055> in a thing <1697> of nought, which 
say <0559>, Have we not taken <3947> to us horns <7161> by our 
own strength <2392>?



 14 But, behold <2005>, I will raise <6965> up against <5921> 
you a nation <1471>, O house <1004> of Israel <3478>, saith 
<5002> the LORD <3068> the God <0430> of hosts <6635>; and they 
shall afflict <3905> you from the entering <0935> in of Hemath 
<2574> unto the river <5158> of the wilderness <6166>.



Amos 7



 1. Thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> shewed <7200> 
unto me; and, behold <2009>, he formed <3335> grasshoppers 
<1462> in the beginning <8462> of the shooting <5927> up of the 
latter <3954> growth <3954>; and, lo <2009>, [it was] the latter 
<3954> growth <3954> after <0310> the king's <4428> mowings 
<1488>.



 2 And it came <1961> to pass, [that] when <0518> they had made 
an end <3615> of eating <0398> the grass <6212> of the land 
<0776>, then I said <0559>, O Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, forgive 
<5545>, I beseech <4994> thee: by whom <4310> shall Jacob <3290> 
arise <6965>? for he [is] small <6996>.



 3 The LORD <3068> repented <5162> for this <2063>: It shall not 
be, saith <0559> the LORD <3068>.



 4 Thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> shewed <7200> 
unto me: and, behold <2009>, the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> called 
<7121> to contend <7678> by fire <0784>, and it devoured <0398> 
the great <7227> deep <8415>, and did eat <0398> up a part 
<2506>.



 5 Then said <0559> I, O Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, cease <2308>, I 
beseech <4994> thee: by whom <4310> shall Jacob <3290> arise 
<6965>? for he [is] small <6996>.



 6 The LORD <3068> repented <5162> for this <2063>: This <1931> 
also shall not be, saith <0559> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>.



 7 Thus <3541> he shewed <7200> me: and, behold <2009>, the Lord 
<0136> stood <5324> upon a wall <2346> [made] by a plumbline 
<0594>, with a plumbline <0594> in his hand <3027>.



 8 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Amos <5986>, what 
<4100> seest <7200> thou? And I said <0559>, A plumbline <0594>. 
Then said <0559> the Lord <0136>, Behold <2005>, I will set 
<7760> a plumbline <0594> in the midst <7130> of my people 
<5971> Israel <3478>: I will not again <3254> pass <5674> by 
them any more <5750>:



 9 And the high <1116> places of Isaac <3446> shall be desolate 
<8074>, and the sanctuaries <4720> of Israel <3478> shall be 
laid waste <2717>; and I will rise <6965> against <5921> the 
house <1004> of Jeroboam <3379> with the sword <2719>.



 10. Then Amaziah <0558> the priest <3548> of Bethel <1008> sent 
<7971> to Jeroboam <3379> king <4428> of Israel <3478>, saying 
<0559>, Amos <5986> hath conspired <7194> against <5921> thee in 
the midst <7130> of the house <1004> of Israel <3478>: the land 
<0776> is not able <3201> to bear <3557> all <3605> his words 
<1697>.



 11 For thus <3541> Amos <5986> saith <0559>, Jeroboam <3379> 
shall die <4191> by the sword <2719>, and Israel <3478> shall 
surely be led away captive <1540> out of their own land <0127>.



 12 Also Amaziah <0558> said <0559> unto Amos <5986>, O thou 
seer <2374>, go <3212>, flee <1272> thee away into <0413> the 
land <0776> of Judah <3063>, and there <8033> eat <0398> bread 
<3899>, and prophesy <5012> there <8033>:



 13 But prophesy <5012> not again <3254> any more <5750> at 
Bethel <1008>: for it [is] the king's <4428> chapel <4720>, and 
it [is] the king's <4467> court <1004>.



 14 Then answered <6030> Amos <5986>, and said <0559> to Amaziah 
<0558>, I [was] no <3808> prophet <5030>, neither <3808> [was] I 
a prophet's <5030> son <1121>; but I [was] an herdman <0951>, 
and a gatherer <1103> of sycomore <8256> fruit:



 15 And the LORD <3068> took <3947> me as I followed <0310> the 
flock <6629>, and the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto me, Go <3212>,
 prophesy <5012> unto my people <5971> Israel <3478>.



 16 Now <6258> therefore hear <8085> thou the word <1697> of the 
LORD <3068>: Thou sayest <0559>, Prophesy <5012> not against 
<5921> Israel <3478>, and drop <5197> not [thy word] against 
<5921> the house <1004> of Isaac <3446>.



 17 Therefore <3651> thus <3541> saith <0559> the LORD <3068>; 
Thy wife <0802> shall be an harlot <2181> in the city <5892>, 
and thy sons <1121> and thy daughters <1121> shall fall <5307> 
by the sword <2719>, and thy land <0127> shall be divided <2505> 
by line <2256>; and thou shalt die <4191> in a polluted <2931> 
land <0127>: and Israel <3478> shall surely go into captivity 
<1540> forth of his land <0127>.



Amos 8



 1. Thus <3541> hath the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> shewed <7200> 
unto me: and behold <2009> a basket <3619> of summer <7019> 
fruit.



 2 And he said <0559>, Amos <5986>, what <4100> seest <7200> 
thou? And I said <0559>, A basket <3619> of summer <7019> fruit. 
Then said <0559> the LORD <3068> unto me, The end <7093> is come 
<0935> upon my people <5971> of Israel <3478>; I will not again 
<3254> pass <5674> by them any more <5750>.



 3 And the songs <7892> of the temple <1964> shall be howlings 
<3213> in that day <3117>, saith <5002> the Lord <0136> GOD 
<3069>: [there shall be] many <7227> dead <6297> bodies <6297> 
in every <3605> place <4725>; they shall cast <7993> [them] 
forth with silence <2013>.



 4. Hear <8085> this <2063>, O ye that swallow <7602> up the 
needy <34>, even to make the poor of the land <0776> to fail 
<7673>,



 5 Saying <0559>, When <4970> will the new <2320> moon <2320> be 
gone <5674>, that we may sell <7666> corn <7668>? and the 
sabbath <7676>, that we may set <6605> forth <6605> wheat <1250>,
 making the ephah <0374> small <6694>, and the shekel <8255> 
great <1431>, and falsifying <5791> the balances <3976> by 
deceit <4820>?



 6 That we may buy <7069> the poor <1800> for silver <3701>, and 
the needy <34> for a pair of shoes <5275>; [yea], and sell 
<7666> the refuse <4651> of the wheat <1250>?



 7 The LORD <3068> hath sworn <7650> by the excellency <1347> of 
Jacob <3290>, Surely I will never forget <7911> any <3605> of 
their works <4639>.



 8 Shall not the land <0776> tremble <7264> for this <2063>, and 
every <3605> one mourn <56> that dwelleth <3427> therein? and it 
shall rise <5927> up wholly <3605> as a flood <2975>; and it 
shall be cast <1644> out and drowned <8248>, as [by] the flood 
<2975> of Egypt <4714>.



 9 And it shall come <1961> to pass in that day <3117>, saith 
<5002> the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, that I will cause the sun 
<8121> to go <0935> down at noon <6672>, and I will darken 
<2821> the earth <0776> in the clear <0216> day <3117>:



 10 And I will turn <2015> your feasts <2282> into mourning <60>,
 and all <3605> your songs <7892> into lamentation <7015>; and I 
will bring <5927> up sackcloth <8242> upon all <3605> loins 
<4975>, and baldness <7144> upon every <3605> head <7218>; and I 
will make <7760> it as the mourning <60> of an only <3173> [son],
 and the end <0319> thereof as a bitter <4751> day <3117>.



 11. Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> 
the Lord <0136> GOD <3069>, that I will send <7971> a famine 
<7458> in the land <0776>, not a famine <7458> of bread <3899>, 
nor <3808> a thirst <6772> for water <4325>, but of hearing 
<8085> the words <1697> of the LORD <3068>:



 12 And they shall wander <5128> from sea <3220> to sea <3220>, 
and from the north <6828> even to the east <4217>, they shall 
run <7751> to and fro <7751> to seek <1245> the word <1697> of 
the LORD <3068>, and shall not find <4672> [it].



 13 In that day <3117> shall the fair <3303> virgins <1330> and 
young <0970> men faint <5968> for thirst <6772>.



 14 They that swear <7650> by the sin <0819> of Samaria <8111>, 
and say <0559>, Thy god <0430>, O Dan <1835>, liveth <2416>; and,
 The manner <1870> of Beersheba <0884> liveth <2416>; even they 
shall fall <5307>, and never <3808> rise <6965> up again <5750>.



Amos 9



 1. I saw <7200> the Lord <0136> standing <5324> upon the altar 
<4196>: and he said <0559>, Smite <5221> the lintel <3730> of 
the door, that the posts <5592> may shake <7493>: and cut <1214> 
them in the head <7218>, all <3605> of them; and I will slay 
<2026> the last <0319> of them with the sword <2719>: he that 
fleeth <5127> of them shall not flee <5127> away, and he that 
escapeth <6412> of them shall not be delivered <4422>.



 2 Though <0518> they dig <2864> into hell <7585>, thence <8033> 
shall mine hand <3027> take <3947> them; though <0518> they 
climb <5927> up to heaven <8064>, thence <8033> will I bring 
<3381> them down <3381>:



 3 And though <0518> they hide <2244> themselves in the top 
<7218> of Carmel <3760>, I will search <2664> and take <3947> 
them out thence <8033>; and though <0518> they be hid <5641> 
from my sight <5869> in the bottom <7172> of the sea <3220>, 
thence <8033> will I command <6680> the serpent <5175>, and he 
shall bite <5391> them:



 4 And though <0518> they go <3212> into captivity <7628> before 
<6440> their enemies <0341>, thence <8033> will I command <6680> 
the sword <2719>, and it shall slay <2026> them: and I will set 
<7760> mine eyes <5869> upon them for evil <7451>, and not for 
good <2896>.



 5 And the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> of hosts <6635> [is] he that 
toucheth <5060> the land <0776>, and it shall melt <4127>, and 
all <3605> that dwell therein shall mourn <56>: and it shall 
rise <5927> up wholly <3605> like a flood <2975>; and shall be 
drowned <8248>, as [by] the flood <2975> of Egypt <4714>.



 6 [It is] he that buildeth <1129> his stories <4609> in the 
heaven <8064>, and hath founded <3245> his troop <92> in the 
earth <0776>; he that calleth <7121> for the waters <4325> of 
the sea <3220>, and poureth <8210> them out upon the face <6440> 
of the earth <0776>: The LORD <3068> [is] his name <8034>.



 7 [Are] ye not as children <1121> of the Ethiopians <3569> unto 
me, O children <1121> of Israel <3478>? saith <5002> the LORD 
<3068>. Have not I brought <5927> up Israel <3478> out of the 
land <0776> of Egypt <4714>? and the Philistines <6430> from 
Caphtor <3731>, and the Syrians <0758> from Kir <7024>?



 8 Behold <2009>, the eyes <5869> of the Lord <0136> GOD <3069> 
[are] upon the sinful <2401> kingdom <4467>, and I will destroy 
<8045> it from off <5921> the face <6440> of the earth <0127>; 
saving <0657> that I will not utterly destroy <8045> the house 
<1004> of Jacob <3290>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068>.



 9 For, lo <2009>, I will command <6680>, and I will sift <5128> 
the house <1004> of Israel <3478> among all <3605> nations 
<1471>, like as [corn] is sifted <5128> in a sieve <3531>, yet 
shall not the least grain <6872> fall <5307> upon the earth 
<0776>.



 10 All <3605> the sinners <2400> of my people <5971> shall die 
<4191> by the sword <2719>, which say <0559>, The evil <7451> 
shall not overtake <5066> nor prevent <6923> us.



 11. In that day <3117> will I raise <6965> up the tabernacle 
<5521> of David <1732> that is fallen <5307>, and close <1443> 
up the breaches <6556> thereof; and I will raise <6965> up his 
ruins <2034>, and I will build <1129> it as in the days <3117> 
of old <5769>:



 12 That they may possess <3423> the remnant <7611> of Edom 
<0123>, and of all <3605> the heathen <1471>, which <0834> are 
called <7121> by my name <8034>, saith <5002> the LORD <3068> 
that doeth <6213> this <2063>.



 13 Behold <2009>, the days <3117> come <0935>, saith <5002> the 
LORD <3068>, that the plowman <2790> shall overtake <5066> the 
reaper <7114>, and the treader <1869> of grapes <6025> him that 
soweth <4900> seed <2233>; and the mountains <2022> shall drop 
<5197> sweet <6071> wine <6071>, and all <3605> the hills <1389> 
shall melt <4127>.



 14 And I will bring <7725> again <7725> the captivity <7622> of 
my people <5971> of Israel <3478>, and they shall build <1129> 
the waste <8074> cities <5892>, and inhabit <3427> [them]; and 
they shall plant <5193> vineyards <3754>, and drink <8354> the 
wine <3196> thereof; they shall also make <6213> gardens <1593>, 
and eat <0398> the fruit <6529> of them.



 15 And I will plant <5193> them upon their land <0127>, and 
they shall no <3808> more <5750> be pulled <5428> up out of 
their land <0127> which <0834> I have given <5414> them, saith 
<0559> the LORD <3068> thy God <0430>.
