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 RehoboamH7346 dweltH3427 in JerusalemH3389, and builtH1129 citiesH5892 for defenceH4692 in JudahH3063.
He builtH1129 even BethlehemH1035, and EtamH5862, and TekoaH8620,
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}
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}
In the fifteenthH2568+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111, and reigned fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141.
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not from all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
He restoredH7725 the coastH1366 of IsraelH3478 from the enteringH935 of HamathH2574 unto the seaH3220 of the plainH6160, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, which he spakeH1696 by the handH3027 of his servantH5650 JonahH3124, the sonH1121 of AmittaiH573, the prophetH5030, which was of GathhepherH1662.
Ye which rejoiceH8056 in a thingH1697 of noughtH3808, which sayH559, Have we not takenH3947 to us hornsH7161 by our own strengthH2392?
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; As the shepherdH7462 taketh outH5337 of the mouthH6310 of the lionH738 twoH8147 legsH3767, or a pieceH915 of an earH241; so shall the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 be taken outH5337 that dwellH3427 in SamariaH8111 in the cornerH6285 of a bedH4296, and in DamascusH1833 in a couchH6210. {taketh: Heb. delivereth} {in Damascus…: or, on the bed's feet}
And I will smiteH5221 the winterH2779 houseH1004 with the summerH7019 houseH1004; and the housesH1004 of ivoryH8127 shall perishH6, and the greatH7227 housesH1004 shall have an endH5486, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
HearH8085 this wordH1697, ye kineH6510 of BashanH1316, that are in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which oppressH6231 the poorH1800, which crushH7533 the needyH34, which sayH559 to their mastersH113, BringH935, and let us drinkH8354.
That lieH7901 upon bedsH4296 of ivoryH8127, and stretchH5628 themselves upon their couchesH6210, and eatH398 the lambsH3733 out of the flockH6629, and the calvesH5695 out of the midstH8432 of the stallH4770; {stretch…: or, abound with superfluities}
That chantH6527 to the soundH6310 of the violH5035, and inventH2803 to themselves instrumentsH3627 of musickH7892, like DavidH1732; {chant: or, quaver}
That drinkH8354 wineH3196 in bowlsH4219, and anointH4886 themselves with the chiefH7225 ointmentsH8081: but they are not grievedH2470 for the afflictionH7667 of JosephH3130. {wine…: or, in bowls of wine} {affliction: Heb. breach}
HearH8085 this wordH1697, ye kineH6510 of BashanH1316, that are in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which oppressH6231 the poorH1800, which crushH7533 the needyH34, which sayH559 to their mastersH113, BringH935, and let us drinkH8354.
HearH8085 this wordH1697 that the LORDH3068 hath spokenH1696 against you, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, against the whole familyH4940 which I brought upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, sayingH559,
You only have I knownH3045 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127: therefore I will punishH6485 you for all your iniquitiesH5771. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
Can twoH8147 walkH3212 togetherH3162, exceptH1115 they be agreedH3259?
Will a lionH738 roarH7580 in the forestH3293, when he hath no preyH2964? will a young lionH3715 cry outH5414+H6963 of his denH4585, if he have takenH3920 nothingH1115? {cry: Heb. give forth his voice}
Can a birdH6833 fallH5307 in a snareH6341 upon the earthH776, where no ginH4170 is for him? shall one take upH5927 a snareH6341 from the earthH127, and have takenH3920 nothing at allH3920?
Shall a trumpetH7782 be blownH8628 in the cityH5892, and the peopleH5971 not be afraidH2729? shall there be evilH7451 in a cityH5892, and the LORDH3068 hath not doneH6213 it? {be afraid: or, run together? the LORD…: or, shall not the L.doe somewhat?}
Surely the LordH136 GODH3069 will doH6213 nothingH1697, but he revealethH1540 his secretH5475 unto his servantsH5650 the prophetsH5030.
The lionH738 hath roaredH7580, who will notH3808 fearH3372? the LordH136 GODH3069 hath spokenH1696, who can but prophesyH5012?
PublishH8085 in the palacesH759 at AshdodH795, and in the palacesH759 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and sayH559, AssembleH622 yourselves upon the mountainsH2022 of SamariaH8111, and beholdH7200 the greatH7227 tumultsH4103 in the midstH7130 thereof, and the oppressedH6217 in the midstH8432 thereof. {oppressed: or, oppressions}
For they knowH3045 not to doH6213 rightH5229, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, who storeH686 up violenceH2555 and robberyH7701 in their palacesH759. {robbery: or, spoil}
Ye that put far awayH5077 the evilH7451 dayH3117, and cause the seatH7675 of violenceH2555 to come nearH5066; {seat: or, habitation}
For they knowH3045 not to doH6213 rightH5229, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, who storeH686 up violenceH2555 and robberyH7701 in their palacesH759. {robbery: or, spoil}
Ye who turnH2015 judgmentH4941 to wormwoodH3939, and leave offH3240 righteousnessH6666 in the earthH776,
They hateH8130 him that rebukethH3198 in the gateH8179, and they abhorH8581 him that speakethH1696 uprightlyH8549.
For I knowH3045 your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887 the justH6662, they takeH3947 a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186 the poorH34 in the gateH8179 from their right. {a bribe: or, a ransom}
Shall horsesH5483 runH7323 upon the rockH5553? will one plowH2790 there with oxenH1241? for ye have turnedH2015 judgmentH4941 into gallH7219, and the fruitH6529 of righteousnessH6666 into hemlockH3939:
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; For threeH7969 transgressionsH6588 of IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
HearH8085 this wordH1697, ye kineH6510 of BashanH1316, that are in the mountainH2022 of SamariaH8111, which oppressH6231 the poorH1800, which crushH7533 the needyH34, which sayH559 to their mastersH113, BringH935, and let us drinkH8354.
For I knowH3045 your manifoldH7227 transgressionsH6588 and your mightyH6099 sinsH2403: they afflictH6887 the justH6662, they takeH3947 a bribeH3724, and they turn asideH5186 the poorH34 in the gateH8179 from their right. {a bribe: or, a ransom}
HearH8085 this, O ye that swallow upH7602 the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6041+H6035 of the landH776 to failH7673,
ComeH935 to BethelH1008, and transgressH6586; at GilgalH1537 multiplyH7235 transgressionH6586; and bringH935 your sacrificesH2077 every morningH1242, and your tithesH4643 after threeH7969 yearsH3117: {three…: Heb. three years of days}
But seekH1875 not BethelH1008, nor enterH935 into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540, and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205.
They that swearH7650 by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559, Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307, and never rise upH6965 again. {manner: Heb. way}
But seekH1875 not BethelH1008, nor enterH935 into GilgalH1537, and passH5674 not to BeershebaH884: for GilgalH1537 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540, and BethelH1008 shall come to noughtH205.
They that swearH7650 by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559, Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307, and never rise upH6965 again. {manner: Heb. way}
And they lay themselves downH5186 upon clothesH899 laid to pledgeH2254 byH681 every altarH4196, and they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of the condemnedH6064 in the houseH1004 of their godH430. {the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}
ComeH935 to BethelH1008, and transgressH6586; at GilgalH1537 multiplyH7235 transgressionH6586; and bringH935 your sacrificesH2077 every morningH1242, and your tithesH4643 after threeH7969 yearsH3117: {three…: Heb. three years of days}
And offerH6999 a sacrifice of thanksgivingH8426 with leavenH2557, and proclaimH7121 and publishH8085 the free offeringsH5071: for thisH3651 likethH157 you, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069. {offer: Heb. offer by burning} {this…: Heb. so ye love}
ForasmuchH3282 therefore as your treadingH1318 is upon the poorH1800, and ye takeH3947 from him burdensH4864 of wheatH1250: ye have builtH1129 housesH1004 of hewn stoneH1496, but ye shall not dwellH3427 in them; ye have plantedH5193 pleasantH2531 vineyardsH3754, but ye shall not drinkH8354 wineH3196 of them. {pleasant…: Heb. vineyards of desire}
Ye that put far awayH5077 the evilH7451 dayH3117, and cause the seatH7675 of violenceH2555 to come nearH5066; {seat: or, habitation}
All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, which sayH559, The evilH7451 shall not overtakeH5066 nor preventH6923 us.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A plumblineH594. Then saidH559 the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more:
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and behold a basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019.
And he saidH559, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935 upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254 passH5674 by them any more.
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 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.
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 MoabH4124, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because he burnedH8313 the bonesH6106 of the kingH4428 of EdomH123 into limeH7875:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon MoabH4124, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of KeriothH7152: and MoabH4124 shall dieH4191 with tumultH7588, with shoutingH8643, and with the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782:
And I will cut offH3772 the judgeH8199 from the midstH7130 thereof, and will slayH2026 all the princesH8269 thereof with him, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
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 JudahH3063, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they have despisedH3988 the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068, and have not keptH8104 his commandmentsH2706, and their liesH3577 caused them to errH8582, afterH310 the which their fathersH1 have walkedH1980:
But I will sendH7971 a fireH784 upon JudahH3063, and it shall devourH398 the palacesH759 of JerusalemH3389.
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 IsraelH3478, and for fourH702, I will not turn awayH7725 the punishment thereof; because they soldH4376 the righteousH6662 for silverH3701, and the poorH34 for a pair of shoesH5275;
That pantH7602 after the dustH6083 of the earthH776 on the headH7218 of the poorH1800, and turn asideH5186 the wayH1870 of the meekH6035: and a manH376 and his fatherH1 will goH3212 in unto the same maidH5291, to profaneH2490 my holyH6944 nameH8034: {maid: or, young woman}
And they lay themselves downH5186 upon clothesH899 laid to pledgeH2254 byH681 every altarH4196, and they drinkH8354 the wineH3196 of the condemnedH6064 in the houseH1004 of their godH430. {the condemned: or, such as have fined, or, mulcted}
Yet destroyedH8045 I the AmoriteH567 beforeH6440 them, whose heightH1363 was like the heightH1363 of the cedarsH730, and he was strongH2634 as the oaksH437; yet I destroyedH8045 his fruitH6529 from aboveH4605, and his rootsH8328 from beneath.
Also I brought you upH5927 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and ledH3212 you fortyH705 yearsH8141 through the wildernessH4057, to possessH3423 the landH776 of the AmoriteH567.
And I raised upH6965 of your sonsH1121 for prophetsH5030, and of your young menH970 for NazaritesH5139. Is it not even thus, O ye childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
But ye gave the NazaritesH5139 wineH3196 to drinkH8248; and commandedH6680 the prophetsH5030, sayingH559, ProphesyH5012 not.
Behold, I am pressedH5781 under you, as a cartH5699 is pressedH5781 that is fullH4392 of sheavesH5995. {I am…: or, I will press your place, as a cart full of sheaves presseth}
Therefore the flightH4498 shall perishH6 from the swiftH7031, and the strongH2389 shall not strengthenH553 his forceH3581, neither shall the mightyH1368 deliverH4422 himselfH5315: {himself: Heb. his soul, or, life}
Neither shall he standH5975 that handlethH8610 the bowH7198; and he that is swiftH7031 of footH7272 shall not deliverH4422 himself: neither shall he that ridethH7392 the horseH5483 deliverH4422 himselfH5315.
And he that is courageousH533+H3820 among the mightyH1368 shall flee awayH5127 nakedH6174 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {courageous: Heb. strong of his heart}
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me; and, behold, he formedH3335 grasshoppersH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927 of the latter growthH3954; and, lo, it was the latter growthH3954 afterH310 the king'sH4428 mowingsH1488. {grasshoppers: or, green worms}
And it came to pass, that when they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: It shall not be, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and, behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784, and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and did eat upH398 a partH2506.
Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 GODH3069, ceaseH2308, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: This also shall not be, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus he shewedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 upon a wallH2346 made by a plumblineH594, with a plumblineH594 in his handH3027.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A plumblineH594. Then saidH559 the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more:
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.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and behold a basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019.
And he saidH559, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935 upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254 passH5674 by them any more.
And the songsH7892 of the templeH1964 shall be howlingsH3213 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: there shall be manyH7227 dead bodiesH6297 in every placeH4725; they shall cast them forthH7993 with silenceH2013. {shall be howlings: Heb. shall howl} {with…: Heb. be silent}
HearH8085 this, O ye that swallow upH7602 the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6041+H6035 of the landH776 to failH7673,
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}
That we may buyH7069 the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250?
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 by the excellencyH1347 of JacobH3290, Surely I will neverH5331 forgetH7911 any of their worksH4639.
Shall not the landH776 trembleH7264 for this, and every one mournH56 that dwellethH3427 therein? and it shall rise upH5927 wholly as a floodH2975; and it shall be cast outH1644 and drownedH8257+H8248, as by the floodH216 of EgyptH4714.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will cause the sunH8121 to go downH935 at noonH6672, and I will darkenH2821 the earthH776 in the clearH216 dayH3117:
And I will turnH2015 your feastsH2282 into mourningH60, and all your songsH7892 into lamentationH7015; and I will bring upH5927 sackclothH8242 upon all loinsH4975, and baldnessH7144 upon every headH7218; and I will makeH7760 it as the mourningH60 of an onlyH3173 son, and the endH319 thereof as a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will sendH7971 a famineH7458 in the landH776, not a famineH7458 of breadH3899, nor a thirstH6772 for waterH4325, but of hearingH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068:
And they shall wanderH5128 from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the northH6828 even to the eastH4217, they shall run to and froH7751 to seekH1245 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and shall not findH4672 it.
In that dayH3117 shall the fairH3303 virginsH1330 and young menH970 faintH5968 for thirstH6772.
They that swearH7650 by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559, Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307, and never rise upH6965 again. {manner: Heb. way}
I sawH7200 the LordH136 standingH5324 upon the altarH4196: and he saidH559, SmiteH5221 the lintel of the doorH3730, that the postsH5592 may shakeH7493: and cutH1214 them in the headH7218, all of them; and I will slayH2026 the lastH319 of them with the swordH2719: he that fleethH5127 of them shall not flee awayH5127, and he that escapethH6412 of them shall not be deliveredH4422. {lintel: or, chapiter, or, knop} {cut…: or, wound them}
Though they digH2864 into hellH7585, thence shall mine handH3027 takeH3947 them; though they climb upH5927 to heavenH8064, thence will I bring them downH3381:
And though they hideH2244 themselves in the topH7218 of CarmelH3760, I will searchH2664 and take them outH3947 thence; and though they be hidH5641 from my sightH5869 in the bottomH7172 of the seaH3220, thence will I commandH6680 the serpentH5175, and he shall biteH5391 them:
And though they goH3212 into captivityH7628 beforeH6440 their enemiesH341, thence will I commandH6680 the swordH2719, and it shall slayH2026 them: and I will setH7760 mine eyesH5869 upon them for evilH7451, and not for goodH2896.
And the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 is he that touchethH5060 the landH776, and it shall meltH4127, and all that dwellH3427 therein shall mournH56: and it shall rise upH5927 wholly like a floodH2975; and shall be drownedH8257, as by the floodH2975 of EgyptH4714.
It is he that buildethH1129 his storiesH4609 in the heavenH8064, and hath foundedH3245 his troopH92 in the earthH776; he that callethH7121 for the watersH4325 of the seaH3220, and poureth them outH8210 upon the faceH6440 of the earthH776: The LORDH3068 is his nameH8034. {stories: or, spheres: Heb. ascensions} {troop: or, bundle}
Are ye not as childrenH1121 of the EthiopiansH3569 unto me, O childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478? saithH5002 the LORDH3068. Have not I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714? and the PhilistinesH6430 from CaphtorH3731, and the SyriansH758 from KirH7024?
Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; savingH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as corn is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}
All the sinnersH2400 of my peopleH5971 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, which sayH559, The evilH7451 shall not overtakeH5066 nor preventH6923 us.
In that dayH3117 will I raise upH6965 the tabernacleH5521 of DavidH1732 that is fallenH5307, and close upH1443 the breachesH6556 thereof; and I will raise upH6965 his ruinsH2034, and I will buildH1129 it as in the daysH3117 of oldH5769: {close: Heb. hedge, or, wall}
That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of EdomH123, and of all the heathenH1471, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 that doethH6213 this. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, that the plowmanH2790 shall overtakeH5066 the reaperH7114, and the treaderH1869 of grapesH6025 him that sowethH4900 seedH2233; and the mountainsH2022 shall dropH5197 sweet wineH6071, and all the hillsH1389 shall meltH4127. {soweth: Heb. draweth forth} {sweet: or, new}
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
And I will plantH5193 them upon their landH127, and they shall no more be pulled upH5428 out of their landH127 which I have givenH5414 them, saithH559 the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me; and, behold, he formedH3335 grasshoppersH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927 of the latter growthH3954; and, lo, it was the latter growthH3954 afterH310 the king'sH4428 mowingsH1488. {grasshoppers: or, green worms}
And it came to pass, that when they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: It shall not be, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and, behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784, and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and did eat upH398 a partH2506.
Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 GODH3069, ceaseH2308, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: This also shall not be, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus he shewedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 upon a wallH2346 made by a plumblineH594, with a plumblineH594 in his handH3027.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A plumblineH594. Then saidH559 the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more:
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.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and behold a basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019.
And he saidH559, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935 upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254 passH5674 by them any more.
And the songsH7892 of the templeH1964 shall be howlingsH3213 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: there shall be manyH7227 dead bodiesH6297 in every placeH4725; they shall cast them forthH7993 with silenceH2013. {shall be howlings: Heb. shall howl} {with…: Heb. be silent}
HearH8085 this, O ye that swallow upH7602 the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6041+H6035 of the landH776 to failH7673,
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}

Therefore will I cause you to go into captivityH1540 beyondH1973 DamascusH1834, saithH559 the LORDH3068, whose nameH8034 is The GodH430 of hostsH6635.
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.
Behold, the eyesH5869 of the LordH136 GODH3069 are upon the sinfulH2403 kingdomH4467, and I will destroyH8045 it from off the faceH6440 of the earthH127; savingH657 that I will not utterlyH8045 destroyH8045 the houseH1004 of JacobH3290, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
For, lo, I will commandH6680, and I will siftH5128 the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 among all nationsH1471, like as corn is siftedH5128 in a sieveH3531, yet shall not the least grainH6872 fallH5307 upon the earthH776. {sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}

That they may possessH3423 the remnantH7611 of EdomH123, and of all the heathenH1471, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, saithH5002 the LORDH3068 that doethH6213 this. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
And I will bring againH7725 the captivityH7622 of my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478, and they shall buildH1129 the wasteH8074 citiesH5892, and inhabitH3427 them; and they shall plantH5193 vineyardsH3754, and drinkH8354 the wineH3196 thereof; they shall also makeH6213 gardensH1593, and eatH398 the fruitH6529 of them.
You only have I knownH3045 of all the familiesH4940 of the earthH127: therefore I will punishH6485 you for all your iniquitiesH5771. {punish: Heb. visit upon}
BeG4105 notG3361 deceivedG4105; GodG2316 isG3456 notG3756 mockedG3456: forG1063 whatsoeverG3739+G1437 a manG444 sowethG4687, thatG5124 shall heG2325 alsoG2532 reapG2325.
ForG3754 he that sowethG4687 toG1519 hisG1438 fleshG4561 shallG2325 ofG1537 the fleshG4561 reapG2325 corruptionG5356; butG1161 he that sowethG4687 toG1519 the SpiritG4151 shallG2325 ofG1537 the SpiritG4151 reapG2325 lifeG2222 everlastingG166.
Therefore thus will I doH6213 unto thee, O IsraelH3478: and becauseH6118 I will doH6213 this unto thee, prepareH3559 to meetH7125 thy GodH430, O IsraelH3478.
