The Prophecy
of Amos 1
The words of Amos, who was among herdsmen of Thecua:
which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias
king of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of
Joas king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter
his voice from Jerusalem: and the beautiful places of
the shepherds have mourned, and the top of Carmel is
withered.
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and
for four I will not convert it: because they have thrashed
Galaad with iron wains.
And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and
it shall devour the houses of Benadad.
And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut
off the inhabitants from the plain of the idol, and
him that holdeth the sceptre from the house of pleasure:
and the people of Syria shall be carried away to Cyrene,
saith the Lord.
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for
four I will not convert it: because they have carried
away a perfect captivity to shut them up in Edom.
And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall
devour the houses thereof.
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him
that holdeth the sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn
my hand against Accaron, and the rest of the Philistines
shall perish, saith the Lord God.
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for
four I will not convert it: because they have shut up
an entire captivity in Edom, and have not remembered
the covenant of brethren.
And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it
shall devour the houses thereof.
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for
four I will not convert him: because he hath pursued
his brother with the sword, and hath cast off all pity,
and hath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath
to the end.
I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour
the houses of Bosra.
Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children
of Ammon, and for four I will not convert him: because
he hath ripped up the women with child of Galaad to
enlarge his border.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it
shall devour the houses thereof with shouting in the
day of battle, and with a whirlwind in the day of trouble.
And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his
princes together, saith the Lord.
