==== <AM1>

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.

==== <AM2>

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.

==== <AM3>

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.

==== <AM4>

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.

==== <AM5>

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.

==== <AM6>

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.

==== <AM7>

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.

==== <AM8>

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.

==== <AM9>

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.
