Chap. I.
note
In the reigne of Iozias in Iuda, and of Ieroboam in Israel, this prophet
Amos, 3. threatneth Damascus, 6. Gaza, 8. Azotus, and other Philistians.
9. Tyre, 11. Idumea, 13. and Ammon, for their obstinacie in sinne,
abusing his long patience.
1 The wordes of Amos, who was among note the
pastours of Thecua: Which he saw vpon Israel in
the dayes of Ozias the king of Iuda, and in the
dayes of Iereboam the sonne of Ioas the king of
Israel two yeares before note the earthquake.
2 And he sayd: Our
Lord wil roare out of Sion, and out of Ierusalem he wil geue
his voice: & the beautiful places of the pastours haue mourned
and the toppe of Carmel is withered.
3 Thus sayth our Lord:
Vpon note three wickednesses of Damascus, and note vpon foure
I wil not conuert it: because they haue threshed Galaad with
yron waynes.
4 And I wil send fyre into the house of Azael,
and it shal deuoure the houses of Benadad.
5 And I wil breake
the barre of Damascus: and I wil destroy the inhabitant out
of the idol, and him that holdeth the scepter out of the house
of pleasure: and the people of Syria shal be transported to
Cyrene, saith our Lord.
6 Thus saith our Lord: Vpon three wickednesses
of Gaza, & vpon foure I wil not conuert it, because
they haue transported a perfect captiuitie, to shut it vp in
Idumea.
7 And I wil send fyre on the wal of Gaza, and it shal
deuoure the houses therof.
8 And I wil destroy the inhabitant
out of Azotus, and him that holdeth the scepter out of Ascalon:
and I wil turne my hand vpon Accaron, and the rest of the
Philisthims shal perish, sayth our Lord God.
9 Thus saith our
Lord: Vpon the three wickednesses of Tyre, and vpon foure I
wil not conuert it: because they haue shut vp a perfect captiuite
in Idumea, and haue not remembred the league of bretheren.
10 And I wil send fyre vpon the wal of Tyre, it shal deuoure
the houses therof.
11 Thus sayth our Lord: Vpon three wickednesses
of Edom, and vpon foure I wil not conuert him: because
he hath persecuted his brother with the sword, and hath
violated his mercie, and hath held his furie longer, and hath
kept his indignation euen to the end.
12 I wil send fyre into
Theman: and it shal deuoure the houses of Bosra.
13 Thus sayth
our Lord: Vpon three wickednesses of the children of Ammon,
and vpon foure I wil not conuert him: because he hath
-- --
cut in sunder the wemen with childe of Galaad to dilate his
limite.
14 And I wil kindle a fyre in the wal of Rabba: & it shal
deuoure the houses therof with howling in the day of battel,
and with a whirlewind in the day of commotion.
15 And
note Melchom shal goe into captiuitie, himself, and his princes
together, sayth our Lord.
