1The 1words of Amos, who was 2among the herdmen of 3Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel 4in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of 5Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the 6earthquake.
2And he said, The Lord will 1roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and 2the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.
3Thus saith the Lord; 1For three transgressions of Damascus, aand for four, 2I will not bturn away the punishment thereof; because they have 3threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:
4But 1I will send 2a fire into the house of 3Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
51I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitant from athe plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the sceptre from bthe house of Eden: and 2the people of Syria shall go into captivity unto Kir, saith the Lord.
6¶ Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of 1Gaza, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 2because they acarried away captive the whole captivity, 3to deliver them up to Edom:
7But 1I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour the palaces thereof:
8And 1I will cut off the inhabitant from 2Ashdod, and him that holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will 3turn mine hand against Ekron: and the 4remnant of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.
9¶ Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 1because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered not athe brotherly covenant:
10But 1I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall devour the palaces thereof.
11¶ Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of 1Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 2because he did pursue 3his brother with the sword, and adid cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:
121But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
13¶ Thus saith the Lord; For three transgressions of the children of 1Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; 2because they have aripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might 3enlarge their border:
14But 1I will kindle a fire in the wall of 2Rabbah, and it shall devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:
15And 1their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, saith the Lord.
