The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, who was among the herdmenH5349 of TekoaH8620, which he sawH2372 concerning IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, two yearsH8141 beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494.
And he saidH559, The LORDH3068 will roarH7580 from ZionH6726, and utterH5414 his voiceH6963 from JerusalemH3389; and the habitationsH4999 of the shepherdsH7462 shall mournH56, and the topH7218 of CarmelH3760 shall witherH3001.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of DamascusH1834, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have threshedH1758 GileadH1568 with threshing instrumentsH2742 of ironH1270: {and…: or, yea, for four} {turn…: or, convert it, or, let it be quiet}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 into the houseH1004 of HazaelH2371, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BenhadadH1130.
I will breakH7665 also the barH1280 of DamascusH1834, and cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from the plainH1237 of AvenH206, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from the houseH1004 of EdenH5731+H1040: and the peopleH5971 of SyriaH758 shall go into captivityH1540 unto KirH7024, saithH559 the LORDH3068. {the plain…: or, Bikathaven} {the house…: or, Betheden}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried away captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546, to deliver them upH5462 to EdomH123: {away captive…: or, them away with an entire}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of GazaH5804, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof:
And I will cut offH3772 the inhabitantH3427 from AshdodH795, and him that holdethH8551 the sceptreH7626 from AshkelonH831, and I will turnH7725 mine handH3027 against EkronH6138: and the remnantH7611 of the PhilistinesH6430 shall perishH6, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of TyrusH6865, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they delivered upH5462 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546 to EdomH123, and rememberedH2142 not the brotherlyH251 covenantH1285: {the brotherly…: Heb. the covenant of brethren}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 on the wallH2346 of TyrusH6865, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast offH7843 all pityH7356, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetuallyH5703, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5331: {did cast…: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon TemanH8487, which shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of BozrahH1224.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have ripped upH1234 the women with childH2030 of GileadH1568, that they might enlargeH7337 their borderH1366: {ripped…: or, divided the mountains}
But I will kindleH3341 a fireH784 in the wallH2346 of RabbahH7237, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 thereof, with shoutingH8643 in the dayH3117 of battleH4421, with a tempestH5591 in the dayH3117 of the whirlwindH5492:
And their kingH4428 shall goH1980 into captivityH1473, he and his princesH8269 togetherH3162, saithH559 the LORDH3068.

The burdenH4853 of TyreH6865. HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659; for it is laid wasteH7703, so that there is no houseH1004, no entering inH935: from the landH776 of ChittimH3794 it is revealedH1540 to them.
Be stillH1826, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339; thou whom the merchantsH5503 of ZidonH6721, that pass overH5674 the seaH3220, have replenishedH4390. {still: Heb. silent}
And by greatH7227 watersH4325 the seedH2233 of SihorH7883, the harvestH7105 of the riverH2975, is her revenueH8393; and she is a martH5505 of nationsH1471.
Be thou ashamedH954, O ZidonH6721: for the seaH3220 hath spokenH559, even the strengthH4581 of the seaH3220, sayingH559, I travailH2342 not, nor bring forth childrenH3205, neither do I nourish upH1431 young menH970, nor bring upH7311 virginsH1330.
As at the reportH8088 concerning EgyptH4714, so shall they be sorely painedH2342 at the reportH8088 of TyreH6865.
Pass ye overH5674 to TarshishH8659; howlH3213, ye inhabitantsH3427 of the isleH339.
Is this your joyousH5947 city, whose antiquityH6927 is of ancientH6924 daysH3117? her own feetH7272 shall carryH2986 her afar offH7350 to sojournH1481. {afar…: Heb. from afar off}
Who hath taken this counselH3289 against TyreH6865, the crowningH5849 city, whose merchantsH5503 are princesH8269, whose traffickersH3667 are the honourableH3513 of the earthH776?
The LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 hath purposedH3289 it, to stainH2490 the prideH1347 of all gloryH6643, and to bring into contemptH7043 all the honourableH3513 of the earthH776. {to stain: Heb. to pollute}
PassH5674 through thy landH776 as a riverH2975, O daughterH1323 of TarshishH8659: there is no more strengthH4206. {strength: Heb. girdle}
He stretched outH5186 his handH3027 over the seaH3220, he shookH7264 the kingdomsH4467: the LORDH3068 hath given a commandmentH6680 against the merchantH3667 city, to destroyH8045 the strongH4581 holdsH4581 thereof. {against…: or, concerning a merchantman} {the merchant city: Heb.

And he saidH559, Thou shalt no moreH3254 rejoiceH5937, O thou oppressedH6231 virginH1330, daughterH1323 of ZidonH6721: ariseH6965, pass overH5674 to ChittimH3794; there also shalt thou have no restH5117.
Behold the landH776 of the ChaldeansH3778; this peopleH5971 was not, till the AssyrianH804 foundedH3245 it for them that dwell in the wildernessH6728: they set upH6965 the towersH971 thereof, they raised upH6209 the palacesH759 thereof; and he broughtH7760 it to ruinH4654.
HowlH3213, ye shipsH591 of TarshishH8659: for your strengthH4581 is laid wasteH7703.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, that TyreH6865 shall be forgottenH7911 seventyH7657 yearsH8141, according to the daysH3117 of oneH259 kingH4428: after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141 shall TyreH6865 singH7892 as an harlotH2181. {shall Tyre…: Heb. it shall be unto Tyre as the song of an harlot}
TakeH3947 an harpH3658, go aboutH5437 the cityH5892, thou harlotH2181 that hast been forgottenH7911; make sweetH3190 melodyH5059, sing manyH7235 songsH7892, that thou mayest be rememberedH2142.
And it shall come to pass after the endH7093 of seventyH7657 yearsH8141, that the LORDH3068 will visitH6485 TyreH6865, and she shall turnH7725 to her hireH868, and shall commit fornicationH2181 with all the kingdomsH4467 of the worldH776 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH127.
And her merchandiseH5504 and her hireH868 shall be holinessH6944 to the LORDH3068: it shall not be treasuredH686 nor laid upH2630; for her merchandiseH5504 shall be for them that dwellH3427 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, to eatH398 sufficientlyH7654, and for durableH6266 clothingH4374. {durable: Heb. old}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of GazaH5804, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they carried away captiveH1540 the wholeH8003 captivityH1546, to deliver them upH5462 to EdomH123: {away captive…: or, them away with an entire}
And HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 messengersH4397 to DavidH1732, and cedarH730 treesH6086, and carpentersH2796, and masonsH7023+H68: and they builtH1129 DavidH1732 an houseH1004. {masons: Heb. hewers of the stone of the wall}
Because of the dayH3117 that comethH935 to spoilH7703 all the PhilistinesH6430, and to cut offH3772 from TyrusH6865 and ZidonH6721 every helperH5826 that remainethH8300: for the LORDH3068 will spoilH7703 the PhilistinesH6430, the remnantH7611 of the countryH339 of CaphtorH3731. {the country: Heb. the isle}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of EdomH123, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he did pursueH7291 his brotherH251 with the swordH2719, and did cast offH7843 all pityH7356, and his angerH639 did tearH2963 perpetuallyH5703, and he keptH8104 his wrathH5678 for everH5331: {did cast…: Heb. corrupted his compassions}
And HiramH2438 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 sentH7971 his servantsH5650 unto SolomonH8010; for he had heardH8085 that they had anointedH4886 him kingH4428 in the room of his fatherH1: for HiramH2438 was everH3117 a loverH157 of DavidH1732.
And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 to HiramH2438, sayingH559,
Thou knowestH3045 how that DavidH1732 my fatherH1 couldH3201 not buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 forH6440 the warsH4421 which were about him on every sideH5437, until the LORDH3068 putH5414 them under the solesH3709 of his feetH7272.
But now the LORDH3068 my GodH430 hath given me restH5117 on every sideH5439, so that there is neither adversaryH7854 nor evilH7451 occurrentH6294.
And, behold, I purposeH559 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, as the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto DavidH1732 my fatherH1, sayingH559, Thy sonH1121, whom I will setH5414 upon thy throneH3678 in thy room, he shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 unto my nameH8034. {purpose: Heb. say}
Now therefore commandH6680 thou that they hewH3772 me cedar treesH730 out of LebanonH3844; and my servantsH5650 shall be with thy servantsH5650: and unto thee will I giveH5414 hireH7939 for thy servantsH5650 according to all that thou shalt appointH559: for thou knowestH3045 that there is not among us anyH376 that can skillH3045 to hewH3772 timberH6086 like unto the SidoniansH6722. {appoint: Heb. say}
And it came to pass, when HiramH2438 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of SolomonH8010, that he rejoicedH8055 greatlyH3966, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 this dayH3117, which hath givenH5414 unto DavidH1732 a wiseH2450 sonH1121 over this greatH7227 peopleH5971.
And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, I have consideredH8085 the things which thou sentestH7971 to me for: and I will doH6213 all thy desireH2656 concerning timberH6086 of cedarH730, and concerning timberH6086 of firH1265. {considered: Heb. heard}
My servantsH5650 shall bring them downH3381 from LebanonH3844 unto the seaH3220: and I will conveyH7760 them by seaH3220 in floatsH1702 unto the placeH4725 that thou shalt appointH7971 me, and will cause them to be dischargedH5310 there, and thou shalt receiveH5375 them: and thou shalt accomplishH6213 my desireH2656, in givingH5414 foodH3899 for my householdH1004. {appoint: Heb. send}
So HiramH2438 gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086 according to all his desireH2656.
And SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of wheatH2406 for foodH4361 to his householdH1004, and twentyH6242 measuresH3734 of pureH3795 oilH8081: thus gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 to HiramH2438 yearH8141 by yearH8141. {measures: Heb. cors}
And it came to pass in the eleventhH6249+H6240 yearH8141, in the firstH259 day of the monthH2320, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559,
SonH1121 of manH120, because that TyrusH6865 hath saidH559 against JerusalemH3389, AhaH1889, she is brokenH7665 that was the gatesH1817 of the peopleH5971: she is turnedH5437 unto me: I shall be replenishedH4390, now she is laid wasteH2717:
Therefore thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I am against thee, O TyrusH6865, and will cause manyH7227 nationsH1471 to come upH5927 against thee, as the seaH3220 causeth his wavesH1530 to come upH5927.
And they shall destroyH7843 the wallsH2346 of TyrusH6865, and break downH2040 her towersH4026: I will also scrapeH5500 her dustH6083 from her, and makeH5414 her like the topH6706 of a rockH5553.
It shall be a place for the spreadingH4894 of netsH2764 in the midstH8432 of the seaH3220: for I have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: and it shall become a spoilH957 to the nationsH1471.
And her daughtersH1323 which are in the fieldH7704 shall be slainH2026 by the swordH2719; and they shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; Behold, I will bringH935 upon TyrusH6865 NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894, a kingH4428 of kingsH4428, from the northH6828, with horsesH5483, and with chariotsH7393, and with horsemenH6571, and companiesH6951, and muchH7227 peopleH5971.
He shall slayH2026 with the swordH2719 thy daughtersH1323 in the fieldH7704: and he shall makeH5414 a fortH1785 against thee, and castH8210 a mountH5550 against thee, and lift upH6965 the bucklerH6793 against thee. {cast…: or, pour out the engine of shot}
And he shall setH5414 enginesH4239 of warH6904 against thy wallsH2346, and with his axesH2719 he shall break downH5422 thy towersH4026.
By reason of the abundanceH8229 of his horsesH5483 their dustH80 shall coverH3680 thee: thy wallsH2346 shall shakeH7493 at the noiseH6963 of the horsemenH6571, and of the wheelsH1534, and of the chariotsH7393, when he shall enterH935 into thy gatesH8179, as men enterH3996 into a cityH5892 wherein is made a breachH1234. {as men…: Heb. according to the enterings of a city broken up}
With the hoofsH6541 of his horsesH5483 shall he tread downH7429 all thy streetsH2351: he shall slayH2026 thy peopleH5971 by the swordH2719, and thy strongH5797 garrisonsH4676 shall go downH3381 to the groundH776.
And they shall make a spoilH7997 of thy richesH2428, and make a preyH962 of thy merchandiseH7404: and they shall break downH2040 thy wallsH2346, and destroyH5422 thy pleasantH2532 housesH1004: and they shall layH7760 thy stonesH68 and thy timberH6086 and thy dustH6083 in the midstH8432 of the waterH4325. {thy pleasant…: Heb. houses of thy desire}
And I will cause the noiseH1995 of thy songsH7892 to ceaseH7673; and the soundH6963 of thy harpsH3658 shall be no more heardH8085.
And I will makeH5414 thee like the topH6706 of a rockH5553: thou shalt be a place to spreadH4894 netsH2764 uponH4894; thou shalt be builtH1129 no more: for I the LORDH3068 have spokenH1696 it, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 to TyrusH6865; Shall not the islesH339 shakeH7493 at the soundH6963 of thy fallH4658, when the woundedH2491 cryH602, when the slaughterH2027 is madeH2026 in the midstH8432 of thee?
Then all the princesH5387 of the seaH3220 shall come downH3381 from their thronesH3678, and lay awayH5493 their robesH4598, and put offH6584 their broideredH7553 garmentsH899: they shall clotheH3847 themselves with tremblingH2731; they shall sitH3427 upon the groundH776, and shall trembleH2729 at every momentH7281, and be astonishedH8074 at thee. {trembling: Heb. tremblings}
And they shall take upH5375 a lamentationH7015 for thee, and sayH559 to thee, How art thou destroyedH6, that wast inhabitedH3427 of seafaring menH3220, the renownedH1984 cityH5892, which wast strongH2389 in the seaH3220, she and her inhabitantsH3427, which causeH5414 their terrorH2851 to be on all that hauntH3427 it! {of…: Heb. of the seas}
Now shall the islesH339 trembleH2729 in the dayH3117 of thy fallH4658; yea, the islesH339 that are in the seaH3220 shall be troubledH926 at thy departureH3318.
For thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; When I shall makeH5414 thee a desolateH2717 cityH5892, like the citiesH5892 that are not inhabitedH3427; when I shall bring upH5927 the deepH8415 upon thee, and greatH7227 watersH4325 shall coverH3680 thee;
When I shall bring thee downH3381 with them that descendH3381 into the pitH953, with the peopleH5971 of old timeH5769, and shall setH3427 thee in the low partsH8482 of the earthH776, in places desolateH2723 of oldH5769, with them that go downH3381 to the pitH953, that thou be not inhabitedH3427; and I shall setH5414 gloryH6643 in the landH776 of the livingH2416;
I will makeH5414 thee a terrorH1091, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought forH1245, yet shalt thou neverH5769 be foundH4672 again, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {a terror: Heb. terrors}
(Now HiramH2438 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 had furnishedH5375 SolomonH8010 with cedarH730 treesH6086 and firH1265 treesH6086, and with goldH2091, according to all his desireH2656,) that thenH227 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 gaveH5414 HiramH2438 twentyH6242 citiesH5892 in the landH776 of GalileeH1551.
And HiramH2438 came outH3318 from TyreH6865 to seeH7200 the citiesH5892 which SolomonH8010 had givenH5414 him; and they pleasedH3474+H5869 him not. {pleased…: Heb. were not right in his eyes}
And he saidH559, What citiesH5892 are these which thou hast givenH5414 me, my brotherH251? And he calledH7121 them the landH776 of CabulH3521 unto this dayH3117. {Cabul: that is, displeasing, or, dirty}
And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to the kingH4428 sixscoreH3967+H6242 talentsH3603 of goldH2091.
Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TyreH6865, and ZidonH6721, and all the coastsH1552 of PalestineH6429? will ye renderH7999 me a recompenceH1576? and if ye recompenseH1580 me, swiftlyH7031 and speedilyH4120 will I returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218;
Because ye have takenH3947 my silverH3701 and my goldH2091, and have carriedH935 into your templesH1964 my goodlyH2896 pleasant thingsH4261: {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The childrenH1121 also of JudahH3063 and the childrenH1121 of JerusalemH3389 have ye soldH4376 unto the GreciansH3125+H1121, that ye might remove them farH7368 from their borderH1366. {the Grecians: Heb. the sons of the Grecians}
Behold, I will raiseH5782 them out of the placeH4725 whither ye have soldH4376 them, and will returnH7725 your recompenceH1576 upon your own headH7218:
And I will sellH4376 your sonsH1121 and your daughtersH1323 into the handH3027 of the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and they shall sellH4376 them to the SabeansH7615, to a peopleH1471 far offH7350: for the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 it.
SendH7971 me also cedarH730 treesH6086, fir treesH1265, and algum treesH418, out of LebanonH3844: for I knowH3045 that thy servantsH5650 can skillH3045 to cutH3772 timberH6086 in LebanonH3844; and, behold, my servantsH5650 shall be with thy servantsH5650, {algum: or, Almuggim, I.Kin.10.11.}
Even to prepareH3559 me timberH6086 in abundanceH7230: for the houseH1004 which I am about to buildH1129 shall be wonderfulH6381 greatH1419. {wonderful…: Heb. great and wonderful}
And, behold, I will giveH5414 to thy servantsH5650, the hewersH2404 that cutH3772 timberH6086, twentyH6242 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of beatenH4347 wheatH2406, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 measuresH3734 of barleyH8184, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 bathsH1324 of wineH3196, and twentyH6242 thousandH505 bathsH1324 of oilH8081.
Then HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 answeredH559 in writingH3791, which he sentH7971 to SolomonH8010, Because the LORDH3068 hath lovedH160 his peopleH5971, he hath madeH5414 thee kingH4428 over them.
HuramH2361 saidH559 moreover, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, who hath givenH5414 to DavidH1732 the kingH4428 a wiseH2450 sonH1121, enduedH3045 with prudenceH7922 and understandingH998, that might buildH1129 an houseH1004 for the LORDH3068, and an houseH1004 for his kingdomH4438. {endued…: Heb. knowing prudence and understanding}
And now I have sentH7971 a cunningH2450 manH376, enduedH3045 with understandingH998, of HuramH2361 my father'sH1,
The sonH1121 of a womanH802 of the daughtersH1323 of DanH1835, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, skilfulH3045 to workH6213 in goldH2091, and in silverH3701, in brassH5178, in ironH1270, in stoneH68, and in timberH6086, in purpleH713, in blueH8504, and in fine linenH948, and in crimsonH3758; also to graveH6605 any manner of gravingH6603, and to find outH2803 every deviceH4284 which shall be putH5414 to him, with thy cunning menH2450, and with the cunning menH2450 of my lordH113 DavidH1732 thy fatherH1.
Now therefore the wheatH2406, and the barleyH8184, the oilH8081, and the wineH3196, which my lordH113 hath spokenH559 of, let him sendH7971 unto his servantsH5650:
And we will cutH3772 woodH6086 out of LebanonH3844, as much as thou shalt needH6878: and we will bringH935 it to thee in floatsH7513 by seaH3220 to JoppaH3305; and thou shalt carry it upH5927 to JerusalemH3389. {as much…: Heb according to all thy need} {Joppa: Heb. Japho}
And HamathH2574 also shall borderH1379 thereby; TyrusH6865, and ZidonH6721, though it be veryH3966 wiseH2449.
And TyrusH6865 did buildH1129 herself a strong holdH4692, and heaped upH6651 silverH3701 as the dustH6083, and fine goldH2742 as the mireH2916 of the streetsH2351.
Behold, the LordH136 will cast her outH3423, and he will smiteH5221 her powerH2428 in the seaH3220; and she shall be devouredH398 with fireH784.
