IsraelH3478 is an emptyH1238 vineH1612, he bringeth forthH7737 fruitH6529 unto himself: according to the multitudeH7230 of his fruitH6529 he hath increasedH7235 the altarsH4196; according to the goodnessH2896 of his landH776 they have made goodlyH2895 imagesH4676. {an…: or, a vine emptying the fruit which it giveth} {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images}
Their heartH3820 is dividedH2505; now shall they be found faultyH816: he shall break downH6202 their altarsH4196, he shall spoilH7703 their imagesH4676. {Their heart…: or, He hath divided their heart} {break…: Heb. behead} {images: Heb. statues, or, standing images}
For now they shall sayH559, We have no kingH4428, because we fearedH3372 not the LORDH3068; what then should a kingH4428 doH6213 to us?
They have spokenH1696 wordsH1697, swearingH422 falselyH7723 in makingH3772 a covenantH1285: thus judgmentH4941 springeth upH6524 as hemlockH7219 in the furrowsH8525 of the fieldH7704.
The inhabitantsH7934 of SamariaH8111 shall fearH1481 because of the calvesH5697 of BethavenH1007: for the peopleH5971 thereof shall mournH56 over it, and the priestsH3649 thereof that rejoicedH1523 on it, for the gloryH3519 thereof, because it is departedH1540 from it. {the priests…: or, Chemarim}
It shall be also carriedH2986 unto AssyriaH804 for a presentH4503 to kingH4428 JarebH3377: EphraimH669 shall receiveH3947 shameH1317, and IsraelH3478 shall be ashamedH954 of his own counselH6098.
As for SamariaH8111, her kingH4428 is cut offH1820 as the foamH7110 uponH6440 the waterH4325. {the water: Heb. the face of the water}
The high placesH1116 also of AvenH206, the sinH2403 of IsraelH3478, shall be destroyedH8045: the thornH6975 and the thistleH1863 shall come upH5927 on their altarsH4196; and they shall sayH559 to the mountainsH2022, CoverH3680 us; and to the hillsH1389, FallH5307 on us.
O IsraelH3478, thou hast sinnedH2398 from the daysH3117 of GibeahH1390: there they stoodH5975: the battleH4421 in GibeahH1390 against the childrenH1121 of iniquityH5932 did not overtakeH5381 them.
It is in my desireH185 that I should chastiseH3256 them; and the peopleH5971 shall be gatheredH622 against them, when they shall bindH631 themselves in their twoH8147 furrowsH5869. {when…: or, when I shall bind them for their two transgressions, or, in their two habitations}
And EphraimH669 is as an heiferH5697 that is taughtH3925, and lovethH157 to tread outH1758 the corn; but I passed overH5674 upon her fairH2898 neckH6677: I will make EphraimH669 to rideH7392; JudahH3063 shall plowH2790, and JacobH3290 shall break his clodsH7702. {her…: Heb. the beauty of her neck}
SowH2232 to yourselves in righteousnessH6666, reapH7114 inH6310 mercyH2617; break upH5214 your fallow groundH5215: for it is timeH6256 to seekH1875 the LORDH3068, till he comeH935 and rainH3384 righteousnessH6664 upon you.
Ye have plowedH2790 wickednessH7562, ye have reapedH7114 iniquityH5766; ye have eatenH398 the fruitH6529 of liesH3585: because thou didst trustH982 in thy wayH1870, in the multitudeH7230 of thy mighty menH1368.
Therefore shall a tumultH7588 ariseH6965 among thy peopleH5971, and all thy fortressesH4013 shall be spoiledH7703, as ShalmanH8020 spoiledH7701 BetharbelH1009 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421: the motherH517 was dashed in piecesH7376 upon her childrenH1121.
SoH3602 shall BethelH1008 doH6213 unto you becauseH6440 of your greatH7451 wickednessH7451: in a morningH7837 shall the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 utterlyH1820 be cut offH1820. {your…: Heb. the evil of your evil}

And the high placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid wasteH2717; and I will riseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.
Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of BethelH1008 sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194 against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bearH3557 all his wordsH1697.
For thus AmosH5986 saithH559, JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 be led away captiveH1540 out of their own landH127.
Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, goH3212, flee thee awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there:
But prophesyH5012 not againH3254 any more at BethelH1008: for it is the king'sH4428 chapelH4720, and it is the king'sH4467 courtH1004. {chapel: or, sanctuary} {king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom}
Then answeredH6030 AmosH5986, and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet'sH5030 sonH1121; but I was an herdmanH951, and a gathererH1103 of sycomore fruitH8256: {sycomore…: or, wild figs}
And the LORDH3068 tookH3947 me as I followedH310 the flockH6629, and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. {as…: Heb. from behind}
Now therefore hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: Thou sayestH559, ProphesyH5012 not against IsraelH3478, and dropH5197 not thy word against the houseH1004 of IsaacH3446.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thy wifeH802 shall be an harlotH2181 in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 by lineH2256; and thou shalt dieH4191 inH5921 a pollutedH2931 landH127: and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540 forth of his landH127.
