¶ The fyrst Chapter.
¶ The tyme of the prophecy of Amos. The worde
of the Lorde agaynst Azab, agaynst Tyre, agaynst
Edom, and agaynst the sonnes of Ammon.
A These are the sermons that
were shewed vnto Amos,
(which was one of the shepherdes
at Thecua) vp&obar; Israell,
in the tyme of note Osiah
kinge of Iuda, and in the
tyme of note Ieroboam þe; sonne
of Ioah kynge of Israel, two yeare &rhand; before
the earth quake. And he sayde: note The
Lorde shall roare oute of Sion, and shewe
his voyce from Ierusalem: so that the pastures
of the shepherdes shalbe in a myserable
case, ∧ the toppe of Charmel dryed vp. Thus
sayeth the Lorde: for thre and foure wyckednesses
of note Damascus, I will not spare
her: because they haue throshed Galaad with
yron flayles. But I will sende a fyre into the
house of Hazaell, the same shall consume the
palaces of Benadab. Thus will I breake þe;
barres of Damascus,
B and rote out the inhabyter
from the felde of Auen, And him that
holdeth the scepter, out of the pleasa&ubar;t house:
so that the people shalbe dryuen out of fayre
Siria, sayeth þe; Lorde. Thus sayeth þe; Lord:
For thre and foure wickednesses of note Gaza,
I will not spare her: because they make the
presoners yet more captyue, and haue dryu&ebar;
them into the lande of Edom. Therfore will
I sende a fyre into þe; walles of Gaza, whych
shall deuoure her houses. I will rote out th&ebar;
that dwell at Asdod and him that holdeth þe;
scepter of Ascal&obar;, and stretche out myne h&abar;de
ouer Accaron, that the remnaunt of the Philistines
shall peryshe, sayeth the Lorde.
C Thus sayeth the Lorde: For thre ∧ foure
wickednesses of the cytie of note Tyre, I wyll
not spare her: because they haue increased the
captiuyte of the Edomites, and haue not remembred
the note brotherly couenaunt. Therfore,
wyll I sende a fyre into the walles of
Tyre, that shall consume her palaces. Thus
sayeth the Lord: For thre and foure wickednesses
of note Edom I wyll not spare hym, because note
he persecuted hys brother with the
swerde, destroyed his mothers wombe, bare
hatred very longe, and so kepte indignacion
all waye by hym. Therfore wyll I sende a
fyre into Theman, which shall deuoure the
palaces of Bosra.
D Thus sayeth the Lorde: for thre ∧ foure
wickednesses of the chyldren of note Ammon,
I wyll not spare them: because they rypt vp
the wemen greate wyth chylde in Galaad,
to make the borders of their landes the wyder.
Therfore, I will kyndle a fyre in þe; walles
of Rabbath, that shall consume her palaces:
with a greate crye, in the daye of batayll,
in tempest and in the daye of storme: so
that their kynge shall go into captiuyte he ∧
hys prynces together, sayeth the Lorde.
