CHAP. I.
The prophet threatens Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, and
Ammon with the judgments of God, for their obstinacy in sin.
1 The words of Amos,
who was among the
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 note the earthquake.
2 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.
3 Thus saith the Lord:
note For three crimes of Damascus,
and for four note I
will not convert it: because
they have threshed Galaad
with iron wains.
4 And I will send a fire
into the house of Azael, and
it shall devour the houses of
Benadad.
5 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 scepter
from the house of pleasure:
and the people of Syria shall
be carried away to Cyrene,
saith the Lord.
6 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.
7 And I will send a fire
on the wall of Gaza, and
it shall devour the houses
thereof.
8 And I will cut off the
inhabitant from Azotus, and
him that holdeth the scepter
from Ascalon: and I will
turn my hand against Accaron,
and the rest of the Philistines
shall perish, saith the
Lord God.
9 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.
10 And I will send a fire
upon the wall of Tyre, and
it shall devour the houses
thereof.
11 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.
12 I will send a fire into
Theman: and it shall devour
the houses of Bosra.
-- --
13 Thus saith the Lord:
For three crimes of the children
of Ammon, and for
four I will not convert him:
because he hath ript up the
women with child of Galaad
to enlarge his border.
14 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.
15 And note Melchom shall
go into captivity, both he,
and his princes together,
saith the Lord.
