04 : 02 The Lord <00136 +>Adonay > GOD <03069 +Y@hovih > hath

GOD <03069 +Y@hovih > .
04 : 06 . And I also <01571 +gam > have given <05414 +nathan >
you cleanness <05356 +niqqayown > of teeth <08127 +shen > in all

04 : 07 And also <01571 +gam > I have withholden <04513 +mana<

04 : 08 So two <08147 +sh@nayim > [ or ] three <07969 +shalowsh

04 : 09 I have smitten <05221 +nakah > you with blasting <07711

04 : 10 I have sent <07971 +shalach > among you the pestilence

04 : 11 I have overthrown <02015 +haphak > [ some ] of you , as
God <00430 +>elohiym > overthrew <04114 +mahpekah > Sodom <05467

04 : 12 Therefore <03651 +ken > thus <03541 +koh > will I do
<06213 +<asah > unto thee , O Israel <03478 +Yisra>el > : [ and

04 : 13 For , lo <02009 +hinneh > , he that formeth <03335

05 : 02 The virgin <01330 +b@thuwlah > of Israel <03478

05 : 03 For thus <03541 +koh > saith <00559 +>amar > the Lord

05 : 04 . For thus <03541 +koh > saith <00559 +>amar > the

05 : 06 Seek <01875 +darash > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > , and
ye shall live <02421 +chayah > ; lest <06435 +pen > he break

05 : 07 Ye who turn <02015 +haphak > judgment <04941 +mishpat >

05 : 09 That strengtheneth <01082 +balag > the spoiled <07701

the spoiled <07701 +shod > shall come <00935 +bow> > against

05 : 10 They hate <08130 +sane> > him that rebuketh <03198

05 : 11 Forasmuch <03282 +ya<an > therefore <03651 +ken > as
your treading <01318 +bashac > [ is ] upon the poor <01800 +dal

05 : 12 For I know <03045 +yada< > your manifold <07227 +rab >

05 : 13 Therefore <03651 +ken > the prudent <07919 +sakal >

for it [ is ] an evil <07451 +ra< > time <06256 +<eth > .
05 : 14 Seek <01875 +darash > good <02896 +towb > , and not

05 : 15 Hate <08130 +sane> > the evil <07451 +ra< > , and love

05 : 16 . Therefore <03651 +ken > the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > ,
the God <00430 +>elohiym > of hosts <06635 +tsaba> > , the Lord

Wailing <04553 +micepd > [ shall be ] in all <03605 +kol >

05 : 17 And in all <03605 +kol > vineyards <03754 +kerem > [

the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > .
05 : 18 Woe <01945 +howy > unto you that desire <00183 +>avah >

05 : 19 As if <00834 +>aher > a man <00376 +>iysh > did flee

05 : 20 [ Shall ] not the day <03117 +yowm > of the LORD <03068

05 : 21 . I hate <08130 +sane> > , I despise <03988 +ma>ac >
your feast <02282 +chag > days , and I will not smell <07306

05 : 22 Though ye offer <05927 +<alah > me burnt <05930 +<olah

05 : 23 Take <05493 +cuwr > thou away <05493 +cuwr > from me

05 : 24 But let judgment <04941 +mishpat > run <01556 +galal >

05 : 25 Have ye offered <05066 +nagash > unto me sacrifices

07 : 07 Thus <03541 +koh > he shewed <07200 +ra>ah > me : and ,

07 : 09 And the high <01116 +bamah > places of Isaac <03446

07 : 10 . Then Amaziah <00558 +>Amatsyah > the priest <03548

07 : 11 For thus <03541 +koh > Amos <05986 +<Amowc > saith
<00559 +>amar > , Jeroboam <03379 +Yarob<am > shall die <04191

07 : 12 Also Amaziah <00558 +>Amatsyah > said <00559 +>amar >

07 : 14 Then answered <06030 +<anah > Amos <05986 +<Amowc > ,

07 : 15 And the LORD <03068 +Y@hovah > took <03947 +laqach > me

07 : 16 Now <06258 +<attah > therefore hear <08085 +shama< >

07 : 17 Therefore <03651 +ken > thus <03541 +koh > saith <00559

08 : 01 . Thus <03541 +koh > hath the Lord <00136 +>Adonay >
GOD <03069 +Y@hovih > shewed <07200 +ra>ah > unto me : and

08 : 02 And he said <00559 +>amar > , Amos <05986 +<Amowc > ,
what <04100 +mah > seest <07200 +ra>ah > thou ? And I said
<00559 +>amar > , A basket <03619 +k@lub > of summer <07019

08 : 03 And the songs <07892 +shiyr > of the temple <01964

08 : 09 And it shall come <01961 +hayah > to pass in that day

08 : 13 In that day <03117 +yowm > shall the fair <03303

08 : 14 They that swear <07650 +shaba< > by the sin <00819

09 : 01 . I saw <07200 +ra>ah > the Lord <00136 +>Adonay >

09 : 02 Though <00518 +>im > they dig <02864 +chathar > into

09 : 05 And the Lord <00136 +>Adonay > GOD <03069 +Y@hovih > of
