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

as the waters cover the sea.

Copyright (c) 1985-2007

11 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 .

12 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 .

13 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 .

14 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael which shall

devour the palaces of Benhadad .

15 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 .

16 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 .

17 But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza which shall

devour the palaces thereof .

18 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 .

19 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 .

110 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus which shall

devour the palaces thereof .

111 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 .

112 But I will send a fire upon Teman which shall devour the

palaces of Bozrah .

113 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 .

114 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 .

115 And their king shall go into captivity he and his princes

together saith the LORD .

* 21 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 .

22 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 .

23 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof and

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

24 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 .

25 But I will send a fire upon Judah and it shall devour the

palaces of Jerusalem .

26 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 .

27 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 .

28 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 .

29 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 .

210 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 .

211 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 .

212 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink and commanded the

prophets saying Prophesy not .

213 Behold I am pressed under you as a cart is pressed that is

full of sheaves .

214 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift and the

strong shall not strengthen his force neither shall the mighty

deliver himself .

215 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 .

216 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away

naked in that day saith the LORD .

* 31 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 .

32 You only have I known of all the families of the earth

therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities .

33 Can two walk together except they be agreed .

34 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 .

35 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 .

36 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 .

37 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing but he revealeth his

secret unto his servants the prophets .

38 The lion hath roared who will not fear the Lord GOD hath

spoken who can but prophesy .

39 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 .

310 For they know not to do right saith the LORD who store up

violence and robbery in their palaces .

311 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 .

312 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 .

313 Hear ye and testify in the house of Jacob saith the Lord

GOD the God of hosts .

314 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 .

315 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 .

* 41 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 .

42 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 .

43 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 .

44 Come to Bethel and transgress at Gilgal multiply

transgression and bring your sacrifices every morning and your

tithes after three years .

45 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 .

46 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 .

47 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 .

48 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 .

49 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 .

410 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 .

411 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 .

412 Therefore thus will I do unto thee O Israel and because I

will do this unto thee prepare to meet thy God O Israel .

413 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 .

* 51 Hear ye this word which I take up against you even a

lamentation O house of Israel .

52 The virgin of Israel is fallen she shall no more rise she

is forsaken upon her land there is none to raise her up .

53 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 .

54 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel Seek ye me

and ye shall live .

55 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 .

56 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 .

57 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood and leave off

righteousness in the earth .

58 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 .

59 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong so that

the spoiled shall come against the fortress .

510 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate and they abhor him

that speaketh uprightly .

511 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 .

512 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 .

513 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time for

it is an evil time .

514 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 .

515 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 .

516 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 .

517 And in all vineyards shall be wailing for I will pass

through thee saith the LORD .

518 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 .

519 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 .

520 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness and not light

even very dark and no brightness in it .

521 I hate I despise your feast days and I will not smell in

your solemn assemblies .

522 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 .

523 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs for I will

not hear the melody of thy viols .

524 But let judgment run down as waters and righteousness as a

mighty stream .

525 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the

wilderness forty years O house of Israel .

526 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun

your images the star of your god which ye made to yourselves .

527 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond

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

* 61 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 .

62 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 .

63 Ye that put far away the evil day and cause the seat of

violence to come near .

64 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 .

65 That chant to the sound of the viol and invent to

themselves instruments of music like David .

66 That drink wine in bowls and anoint themselves with the

chief ointments but they are not grieved for the affliction of

Joseph .

67 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go

captive and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall

be removed .

68 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 .

69 And it shall come to pass if there remain ten men in one

house that they shall die .

610 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 .

611 For behold the LORD commandeth and he will smite the great

house with breaches and the little house with clefts .

612 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 .

613 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought which say Have we

not taken to us horns by our own strength .

614 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 .

* 71 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 .

72 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 .

73 The LORD repented for this It shall not be saith the LORD .

74 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 .

75 Then said I O Lord GOD cease I beseech thee by whom shall

Jacob arise for he is small .

76 The LORD repented for this This also shall not be saith the

Lord GOD .

77 Thus he showed me and behold the Lord stood upon a wall

made by a plumbline with a plumbline in his hand .

78 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 .

79 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 .

710 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 .

711 For thus Amos saith Jeroboam shall die by the sword and

Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land .

712 Also Amaziah said unto Amos O thou seer go flee thee away

into the land of Judah and there eat bread and prophesy there .

713 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel for it is the

king's chapel and it is the king's court .

714 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 .

715 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock and the LORD

said unto me Go prophesy unto my people Israel .

716 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 .

717 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 .

* 81 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me and behold a basket

of summer fruit .

82 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 .

83 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 .

84 Hear this O ye that swallow up the needy even to make the

poor of the land to fail .

85 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

86 That we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a

pair of shoes yea and sell the refuse of the wheat .

87 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob Surely I

will never forget any of their works .

88 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 .

89 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 .

810 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 .

811 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 .

812 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 .

813 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for

thirst .

814 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 .

* 91 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 .

92 Though they dig into hell thence shall mine hand take them

though they climb up to heaven thence will I bring them down .

93 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 .

94 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 .

95 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 .

96 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 .

97 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 .

98 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 .

99 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 .

910 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword which

say The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us .

911 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 .

912 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 .

913 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 .

914 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 .

915 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 .
