Book 17 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - AMOS - Chapter 001
01:001
THE WORDS of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa,
which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the
days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the
earthquake
01:002
And he said: HaShem roareth from Zion, and uttereth His
voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top
of Carmel shall wither
01:003
For thus saith HaShem: For three transgressions of
Damascus, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have threshed
Gilead with sledges of iron
01:004
So will I send a fire into the house of Hazael, and it
shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad
01:005
And I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the
inhabitant from Bikath-Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Beth-eden;
and the people of Aram shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith HaShem
01:006
Thus saith HaShem: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea,
for four, I will not reverse it: because they carried away captive a whole
captivity, to deliver them up to Edom
01:007
So will I send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall
devour the palaces thereof
01:008
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that
holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron, and
the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the L-rd GOD
01:009
Thus saith HaShem: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea,
for four, I will not reverse it: because they delivered up a whole captivity to
Edom, and remembered not the brotherly covenant
01:010
So will I send a fire on the wall of Tyre, and it shall
devour the palaces thereof
01:011
Thus saith HaShem: For three transgressions of Edom, yea,
for four, I will not reverse it: because he did pursue his brother with the
sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he
kept his wrath for ever
01:012
So will I send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the
palaces of Bozrah
01:013
Thus saith HaShem: For three transgressions of the
children of Ammon, yea, for four, I will not reverse it: because they have
ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border
01:014
So will I kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it
shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a
tempest in the day of the whirlwind
01:015
And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes
together, saith HaShem
