Amo 1
1 Concerning Jerusalem
The words of Amos, which took place in Kirjath Jearim of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Jerusalem in
the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in
the days of Jeroboam son Joash king of Israel, [
3before
1two
2years] the earthquake.
2And he said,
The LORD [
2from
3Zion
1uttered a sound], and from Jerusalem he gave his voice; and [
5mourned
1the
2pastures
3of the
4shepherds], and [
4was dried up
1the
2top
3of Carmel].
3 The Word against Damascus
And
the LORD said, For the three impious deeds of Damascus, even for the four, I will not turn away from him. Because they sawed [
2saws
1by iron] the ones [
2in
3the womb
1having one] in Gilead.
4And I will send a fire unto the house of Hazael, and it shall devour the foundations of
the son of Hadad.
5And I shall break
the bars of Damascus, and I will utterly destroy
the inhabitants of
the plain of On; and I will cut in pieces a tribe of
the men of Eden; and [
4shall be captured
2people
3of Syria
1select], says
the LORD.
6 The Word against Gaza
Thus says
the LORD, For the three impious deeds of Gaza, and for the four, I will not turn away from them. Because of their capturing
the captivity of Solomon, to close
them up in Edom.
7And I will send out fire upon the walls of Gaza, and it shall devour her foundations.
8And I will utterly destroy
the inhabitants of Ashdod, and shall lift away a tribe from Ashkelon, and I will bring my hand upon Ekron. And [
5shall be destroyed
1the
2rest
3of the
4Philistines], says
the LORD.
9 The Word against Tyre
Thus says
the LORD, For the three impious deeds of Tyre, even for the four, I will not turn away from her. Because they closed up the captivity of Solomon in Edom, and remembered not
the covenant of brethren.
10And I will send out fire upon the walls of Tyre, and it shall devour her foundations.
11 The Word against Edom
Thus says
the LORD, For the three impious deeds of Edom, even for the four, I will not turn away from them. Because of [
2pursuing
3them
4with
5the broadsword
1his brother], and he laid waste
the mother upon the earth, and seized by force for a testimony of his shuddering awe; and his impulse he kept unto victory.
12And I will send forth fire against Teman, and it shall devour her foundations.
13 The Word against Ammon
Thus says
the LORD, For the three impious deeds of the sons of Ammon, even for the four, I will not turn away from them. Because they ripped open the ones [
2in
3the womb
1having one] of the ones of Gilead, so that they should widen their borders.
14And I will light a fire even against the walls of Rabbah, and it shall devour her foundations with a cry in
the day of war, and it shall be shaken in
the days of her consumption.
15And [
3shall go
2king
1their] into captivity -- the priests and their rulers together, says
the LORD.
