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

as the waters cover the sea.

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

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

> in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof.

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

>adown >, Bring <0935 bow> >, and let us drink <8354 shathah >.

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 >

away <7628 sh@biy > your horses <5483 cuwc >; and I have made

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

<5927 <alah > up unto your nostrils <0639 >aph >: yet have ye

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

<6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto thee, prepare <3559 kuwn >

to meet <7125 qir>ah > thy God <0430 >elohiym >, O Israel <3478

13 For, lo <2009 hinneh >, he that formeth <3335 yatsar > the

mountains <2022 har >, and createth <1254 bara> > the wind <7307

ruwach >, and declareth <5046 nagad > unto man <0120 >adam >

what <4100 mah > [is] his thought <7807 shach >, that maketh

of the earth <0776 >erets >, The LORD <3068 Y@hovah >, The God

<0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> >, [is] his name <8034

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

<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >.

4. For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

>, Seek <1875 darash > ye me, and ye shall live <2421 chayah >:

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

<7121 qara> > for the waters <4325 mayim > of the sea <3220 yam

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

tsaba> >, shall be with you, as ye have spoken <0559 >amar >.

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 >

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

grieved <2470 chalah > for the affliction <7667 sheber > of

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

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

Amos 7

1. Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069

2 And it came <1961 hayah > to pass, [that] when <0518 >im >

they had made an end <3615 kalah > of eating <0398 >akal > the

forgive <5545 calach >, I beseech <4994 na> > thee: by whom

he [is] small <6996 qatan >.

3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > repented <5162 nacham > for this

4 Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069

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

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

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

> is not able <3201 yakol > to bear <3557 kuwl > all <3605 kol >

his words <1697 dabar >.

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

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

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

manner <1870 derek > of Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< > liveth

<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

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

<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

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

<5927 <alah > up wholly <3605 kol > like a flood <2975 y@<or >;

and shall be drowned <8248 shaqah >, as [by] the flood <2975

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

<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

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

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

14 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the
