: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

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

<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

<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

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

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

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

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

himself <5315 nephesh >:

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

<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

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 > will do <6213 <asah > nothing, but he revealeth <1540

galah > 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

the midst <7130 qereb > thereof, and the oppressed <6217 <ashuwq

: 10 For they know <3045 yada< > not to do <6213 <asah > right

who store <0686 >atsar > up violence <2555 chamac > and robbery

house <1004 bayith > with the summer <7019 qayits > house <1004

bayith >; and the houses <1004 bayith > of ivory <8127 shen >

: 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

<0559 >amar >, Amos <5986 <Amowc > hath conspired <7194 qashar >

against <5921 <al > thee in the midst <7130 qereb > of the house

<1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el >: the land <0776 >erets

his words <1697 dabar >.

: 11 For thus <3541 koh > Amos <5986 <Amowc > saith <0559 >amar

sword <2719 chereb >, and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall surely

be led away captive <1540 galah > out of their own land <0127

: 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

<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'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

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

basket <3619 k@lub > of summer <7019 qayits > fruit. Then said

[there shall be] many <7227 rab > dead <6297 peger > bodies

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 >,

: 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

: 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

: 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 >

virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > and young <0970 bachuwr > men faint

<5968 <alaph > for thirst <6772 tsama> >.

of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown >, and say <0559 >amar >, Thy god

<0430 >elohiym >, O Dan <1835 Dan >, liveth <2416 chay >; and,

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

set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon them for evil
