: Amos 1

 :  1 .  The words <1697 dabar > of Amos <5986 <Amowc > ,  who 
<0834 >aher > was among the herdmen <5349 noqed > of Tekoa <8620 
T@qowa< > ,  which <0834 >aher > he saw <2372 chazah > 
concerning <5921 <al > Israel <3478 Yisra>el > in the days <3117 
yowm > of Uzziah <5818 <Uzziyah > king <4428 melek > of Judah 
<3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and in the days <3117 yowm > of Jeroboam 
<3379 Yarob<am > the son <1121 ben > of Joash <3101 Yow>ash > 
king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  two years <8141 
shaneh > before <6440 paniym > the earthquake <7494 ra<ash > . 

 :  2 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > will 
roar <7580 sha>ag > from Zion <6726 Tsiyown > ,  and utter <5414 
nathan > his voice <6963 qowl > from Jerusalem <3389 
Y@ruwshalaim > ;  and the habitations <4999 na>ah > of the 
shepherds <7462 ra<ah > shall mourn <56> ,  and the top <7218 
ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > shall wither <3001 yabesh > . 

 :  3 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  and for four <0702 
>arba< > ,  I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment 
]  thereof ;  because <5921 <al > they have threshed <1758 duwsh 
> Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > with threshing <2742 charuwts > 
instruments of iron <1270 barzel > : 

 :  4 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > into 
the house <1004 bayith > of Hazael <2371 Chaza>el > ,  which 
shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > of 
Benhadad <1130 Ben - Hadad > . 

 :  5 I will break <7665 shabar > also the bar <1280 b@riyach > 
of Damascus <1834 Dammeseq > ,  and cut <3772 karath > off the 
inhabitant <3427 yashab > from the plain <1237 biq<ah > of Aven 
<0206 >Aven > ,  and him that holdeth <8551 tamak > the sceptre 
<7626 shebet > from the house <1004 bayith > of Eden <5731 <Eden 
> :  and the people <5971 <am > of Syria <0758 >Aram > shall go 
into captivity <1540 galah > unto Kir <7024 Qiyr > ,  saith 
<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of Gaza <5804 <Azzah > ,  and for four <0702 >arba< > , 
 I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment ]  thereof 
;  because <5921 <al > they carried <1540 galah > away captive 
<1540 galah > the whole <8003 shalem > captivity <1546 galuwth > 
,  to deliver <5462 cagar >  [ them ]  up to Edom <0123 >Edom > :
 

 :  7 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > on the 
wall <2346 chowmah > of Gaza <5804 <Azzah > ,  which shall 
devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof : 

 :  8 And I will cut <3772 karath > off the inhabitant <3427 
yashab > from Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd > ,  and him that holdeth 
<8551 tamak > the sceptre <7626 shebet > from Ashkelon <0831 
>Ashq@lown > ,  and I will turn <7725 shuwb > mine hand <3027 
yad > against <5921 <al > Ekron <6138 <Eqrown > :  and the 
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > 
shall perish <6> ,  saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > 
GOD <3069 Y@hovih > . 

 :  9 Thus saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  For 
three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 pesha< > of Tyrus 
<6865 Tsor > ,  and for four <0702 >arba< > ,  I will not turn 
<7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment ]  thereof ;  because <5921 
<al > they delivered <5462 cagar > up the whole <8003 shalem > 
captivity <1546 galuwth > to Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and 
remembered <2142 zakar > not the brotherly covenant <1285 
b@riyth > : 

 :  10 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > on 
the wall <2346 chowmah > of Tyrus <6865 Tsor > ,  which shall 
devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof . 

 :  11 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of Edom <0123 >Edom > ,  and for four <0702 >arba< > ,  
I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment ]  thereof ;
  because <5921 <al > he did pursue <7291 radaph > his brother 
<0251 >ach > with the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and did cast <7843 
shachath > off all pity <7356 racham > ,  and his anger <0639 
>aph > did tear <2963 taraph > perpetually <5703 <ad > ,  and he 
kept <8104 shamar > his wrath <5678 <ebrah > for ever <5331 
netsach > : 

 :  12 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon 
Teman <8487 Teyman > ,  which shall devour <0398 >akal > the 
palaces <0759 >armown > of Bozrah <1224 Botsrah > . 

 :  13 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of the children <1121 ben > of Ammon <5983 <Ammown > ,  
and for four <0702 >arba< > ,  I will not turn <7725 shuwb > 
away  [ the punishment ]  thereof ;  because <5921 <al > they 
have ripped <1234 baqa< > up the women with child <2030 hareh > 
of Gilead <1568 Gil<ad > ,  that they might enlarge <7337 rachab 
> their border <1366 g@buwl > : 

 :  14 But I will kindle <3341 yatsath > a fire <0784 >esh > in 
the wall <2346 chowmah > of Rabbah <7237 Rabbah > ,  and it 
shall devour <0398 >akal > the palaces <0759 >armown > thereof , 
 with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > in the day <3117 yowm > of 
battle <4421 milchamah > ,  with a tempest <5591 ca<ar > in the 
day <3117 yowm > of the whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > : 

 :  15 And their king <4428 melek > shall go <1980 halak > into 
captivity <1473 gowlah > ,  he and his princes <8269 sar > 
together <3162 yachad > ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > . 

 : Amos 2

 :  1 .  Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  and for four <0702 >arba< > , 
 I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment ]  thereof 
;  because <5921 <al > he burned <8313 saraph > the bones <6106 
<etsem > of the king <4428 melek > of Edom <0123 >Edom > into 
lime <7875 siyd > : 

 :  2 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon 
Moab <4124 Mow>ab > ,  and it shall devour <0398 >akal > the 
palaces <0759 >armown > of Kerioth <7152> :  and Moab <4124 
Mow>ab > shall die <4191 muwth > with tumult <7588 sha>own > ,  
with shouting <8643 t@ruw<ah > ,   [ and ]  with the sound <6963 
qowl > of the trumpet <7782 showphar > : 

 :  3 And I will cut <3772 karath > off the judge <8199 shaphat 
> from the midst <7130 qereb > thereof ,  and will slay <2026 
harag > all <3605 kol > the princes <8269 sar > thereof with him 
,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  4 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and for four <0702 >arba< 
> ,  I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment ]  
thereof ;  because <5921 <al > they have despised <3988 ma>ac > 
the law <8451 towrah > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and have 
not kept <8104 shamar > his commandments <2706 choq > ,  and 
their lies <3576 kazab > caused them to err <8582 ta<ah > ,  
after <0310 >achar > the which <0834 >aher > their fathers <1> 
have walked <1980 halak > : 

 :  5 But I will send <7971 shalach > a fire <0784 >esh > upon 
Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and it shall devour <0398 >akal > the 
palaces <0759 >armown > of Jerusalem <3389 Y@ruwshalaim > . 

 :  6 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  For three <7969 shalowsh > transgressions <6588 
pesha< > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and for four <0702 >arba< 
> ,  I will not turn <7725 shuwb > away  [ the punishment ]  
thereof ;  because <5921 <al > they sold <4376 makar > the 
righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > for silver <3701 keceph > ,  and the 
poor <34> for a pair of shoes <5275 na<al > ; 

 :  7 That pant <7602 sha>aph > after <5921 <al > the dust <6083 
<aphar > of the earth <0776 >erets > on the head <7218 ro>sh > 
of the poor <1800 dal > ,  and turn <5186 natah > aside <5186 
natah > the way <1870 derek > of the meek <6035 <anav > :  and a 
man <0376 >iysh > and his father <2> will go <3212 yalak > in 
unto the  [ same ]  maid <5291 na<arah > ,  to profane <2490 
chalal > my holy <6944 qodesh > name <8034 shem > : 

 :  8 And they lay <5186 natah >  [ themselves ]  down upon 
clothes <0899 beged > laid to pledge <2254 chabal > by every 
<3605 kol > altar <4196 mizbeach > ,  and they drink <8354 
shathah > the wine <3196 yayin > of the condemned <6064 <anash > 
 [ in ]  the house <1004 bayith > of their god <0430 >elohiym > .
 

 :  9 .  Yet destroyed <8045 shamad > I the Amorite <0567 
>Emoriy > before <6440 paniym > them ,  whose <0834 >aher > 
height <1363 gobahh >  [ was ]  like the height <1363 gobahh > 
of the cedars <0730 >erez > ,  and he  [ was ]  strong <2364 
Chuwshah > as the oaks <0437 >allown > ;  yet I destroyed <8045 
shamad > his fruit <6529 p@riy > from above <4605 ma<al > ,  and 
his roots <8328 sheresh > from beneath <8478 tachath > . 

 :  10 Also I brought <5927 <alah > you up from the land <0776 
>erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and led <3212 yalak > you 
forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > through the 
wilderness <4057 midbar > ,  to possess <3423 yarash > the land 
<0776 >erets > of the Amorite <0567 >Emoriy > . 

 :  11 And I raised <6965 quwm > up of your sons <1121 ben > for 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  and of your young <0970 bachuwr > men 
for Nazarites <5139 naziyr > .   [ Is it ]  not even <0637 >aph 
> thus <2063 zo>th > ,  O ye children <1121 ben > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
. 

 :  12 But ye gave the Nazarites <5139 naziyr > wine <3196 yayin 
> to drink <8248 shaqah > ;  and commanded <6680 tsavah > the 
prophets <5030 nabiy> > ,  saying <0559 >amar > ,  Prophesy 
<5012 naba> > not . 

 :  13 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  I am pressed <5781 <uwq > under 
<8478 tachath > you ,  as a cart <5699 <agalah > is pressed 
<5781 <uwq >  [ that is ]  full <4392 male> > of sheaves <5995 
<amiyr > . 

 :  14 Therefore the flight <4498 manowc > shall perish <6> from 
the swift <7031 qal > ,  and the strong <2389 chazaq > shall not 
strengthen <0553 >amats > his force <3581 koach > ,  neither 
<3808 lo> > shall the mighty <1368 gibbowr > deliver <4422 malat

 :  15 Neither <3808 lo> > shall he stand <5975 <amad > that 
handleth <8610 taphas > the bow <7198 qesheth > ;  and  [ he 
that is ]  swift <7031  qal > of foot <7272 regel > shall not 
deliver <4422 malat >  [ himself <5315 nephesh > ]  :  neither 
<3808 lo> > shall he that rideth <7392 rakab > the horse <5483 
cuwc > deliver <4422 malat > himself <5315 nephesh > . 

 :  16 And  [ he that is ]  courageous among the mighty <1368 
gibbowr > shall flee <5127 nuwc > away naked <6174 <arowm > in 
that day <3117 yowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > . 

 : Amos 3

 :  1 .  Hear <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > 
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath spoken <1696 dabar > against 
<5921 <al > you ,  O children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > ,  against <5921 <al > the whole <3605 kol > family 
<4940 mishpachah > which <0834 >aher > I brought <5927 <alah > 
up from the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  
saying <0559 >amar > , 

 :  2 You only <7535 raq > have I known <3045 yada< > of all 
<3605 kol > the families <4940 mishpachah > of the earth <0127 
>adamah > :  therefore I will punish <6485 paqad > you for all 
<3605 kol > your iniquities <5771 <avon > . 

 :  3 Can two <8147 sh@nayim > walk <3212 yalak > together <3162 
yachad > ,  except <1115 biltiy > they be agreed <3259 ya<ad > ? 

 :  4 Will a lion <0738 >ariy > roar <7580 sha>ag > in the 
forest <3293 ya<ar > ,  when he hath no <0369 >ayin > prey <2964 
tereph > ?  will a young <3715 k@phiyr > lion <3715 k@phiyr > 
cry out of his den <4585 m@<ownah > ,  if <0518 >im > he have 
taken <3920 lakad > nothing <1115 biltiy > ? 

 :  5 Can a bird <6833 tsippowr > fall <5307 naphal > in a snare 
<6341 pach > upon the earth <0776 >erets > ,  where no <0369 
>ayin > gin <4170 mowqesh >  [ is ]  for him ?  shall  [ one ]  
take <5927 <alah > up a snare <6341 pach > from the earth <0127 
>adamah > ,  and have taken <3947 laqach > nothing <3808 lo> > 
at all ? 

 :  6 Shall a trumpet <7782 showphar > be blown <8628 taqa< > in 
the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and the people <5971 <am > not be 
afraid <2729 charad > ?  shall there be evil <7451 ra< > in a 
city <5892 <iyr > ,  and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath not done 
<6213 <asah >  [ it ]  ? 

 :  7 Surely <3588 kiy > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 
Y@hovih > will do <6213 <asah > nothing ,  but he revealeth 
<1540 galah > his secret <5475 cowd > unto his servants <5650 
<ebed > the prophets <5030 nabiy> > . 

 :  8 The lion <0738 >ariy > hath roared <7580 sha>ag > ,  who 
<4310 miy > will not fear <3372 yare> > ?  the Lord <0136 
>Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath spoken <1696 dabar > ,  who 
<4310 miy > can but prophesy <5012 naba> > ? 

 :  9 .  Publish <8085 shama< > in the palaces <0759 >armown > 
at Ashdod <0795 >Ashdowd > ,  and in the palaces <0759 >armown > 
in the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ,  and say 
<0559 >amar > ,  Assemble <0622 >acaph > yourselves upon the 
mountains <2022 har > of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  and behold 
<7200 ra>ah > the great <7227 rab > tumults <4103 m@huwmah > in 
the midst <7130 qereb > thereof ,  and the oppressed <6217 
<ashuwq > in the midst <8432 tavek > thereof . 

 :  10 For they know <3045 yada< > not to do <6213 <asah > right 
<5229 n@kochah > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
,  who store <0686 >atsar > up violence <2555 chamac > and 
robbery <7701 shod > in their palaces <0759 >armown > . 

 :  11 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar

<6862 tsar >  [ there shall be ]  even round <5439 cabiyb >

thy palaces <0759 >armown > shall be spoiled <0962 bazaz > . 

 :  12 Thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > ;  As the shepherd <7462 ra<ah > taketh <5337 natsal > 
out of the mouth <6310 peh > of the lion <0738 >ariy > two <8147 
sh@nayim > legs <3767 kara< > ,  or <0176 >ow > a piece <0915 
badal > of an ear <0241 >ozen > ;  so <3651 ken > shall the 
children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > be taken <5337 
natsal > out that dwell <3427 yashab > in Samaria <8111 
Shom@rown > in the corner <6285 pe>ah > of a bed <4296 mittah > ,
  and in Damascus <1834 Dammeseq >  [ in ]  a couch <6210 <eres

 :  13 Hear <8085 shama< > ye ,  and testify <5749 <uwd > in the 
house <1004 bayith > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  saith <5001 
na>am > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > ,  the God 
<0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > , 

 :  14 That in the day <3117 yowm > that I shall visit <6485 
paqad > the transgressions <6588 pesha< > of Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > upon him I will also visit <6485 paqad > the altars 
<4196 mizbeach > of Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > :  and the horns 
<7161 qeren > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > shall be cut <1438 
gada< > off ,  and fall <5307 naphal > to the ground <0776 
>erets > . 

 :  15 And I will smite <5221 nakah > the winter <2779 choreph > 
house <1004 bayith > with the summer <7019 qayits > house <1004 
bayith > ;  and the houses <1004 bayith > of ivory <8127 shen > 
shall perish <6> ,  and the great <7227 rab > houses <1004 
bayith > shall have an end <5486 cuwph > ,  saith <5001 na>am > 
the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 : Amos 4

 :  1 .  Hear <8085 shama< > this <2088 zeh > word <1697 dabar > 
,  ye kine <6510 parah > of Bashan <1316 Bashan > ,  that  [ are

their masters <0113 >adown > ,  Bring <0935 bow> > ,  and let us 
drink <8354 shathah > . 

 :  2 The Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > hath sworn 
<7650 shaba< > byhis holiness <6944 qodesh > ,  that ,  lo <2009

the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  4 Come <0935 bow> > to Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > ,  and 
transgress <6586 pasha< > ;  at Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > multiply

ye children <1121 ben > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  saith 
<5001 na>am > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > . 

 :  6 .  And I also <1571 gam > have given <5414 nathan > you 
cleanness <5356 niqqayown > of teeth <8127 shen > in all <3605 
kol > your cities <5892 <iyr > ,  and want <2640 chocer > of 
bread <3899 lechem > in all <3605 kol > your places <4725 maqowm

<5001 na>am > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  7 And also <1571 gam > I have withholden <4513 mana< > the 
rain <1653 geshem > from you ,  when  [ there were ]  yet <5750 
<owd > three <7969 shalowsh > months <2320 chodesh > to the 
harvest <7105 qatsiyr > :  and I caused it to rain <4305 matar > 
upon one <0259 >echad > city <5892 <iyr > ,  and caused it not 
to rain <4305 matar > upon another <0259 >echad > city <5892 
<iyr > :  one <0259 >echad > piece was rained <4305 matar > upon 
,  and the piece whereupon it rained <4305 matar > not withered 
<3001 yabesh > . 

 :  8 So two <8147 sh@nayim >  [ or ]  three <7969 shalowsh > 
cities <5892 <iyr > wandered <5128 nuwa< > unto one <0259 >echad

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  9 I have smitten <5221 nakah > you with blasting <7711 
sh@dephah > and mildew <3420 yeraqown > :  when your gardens 
<1593 gannah > and your vineyards <3754 kerem > and your fig 
<8384 t@>en > trees and your olive <2132 zayith > trees 
increased <7235 rabah > ,  the palmerworm <1501 gazam > devoured 
<0398 >akal >  [ them ]  :  yet have ye not returned <7725 shuwb

 :  10 I have sent <7971 shalach > among you the pestilence 
<1698 deber > after the manner <1870 derek > of Egypt <4714 
Mitsrayim > :  your young <0970 bachuwr > men have I slain <2026 
harag > with the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and have taken <7628 
sh@biy > away <7628 sh@biy > your horses <5483 cuwc > ;  and I 
have made the stink <0889 b@>osh > of your camps <4264 machaneh

yet have ye not returned <7725 shuwb > unto me ,  saith <5001 
na>am > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  11 I have overthrown <2015 haphak >  [ some ]  of you ,  as 
God <0430 >elohiym > overthrew <4114 mahpekah > Sodom <5467 
C@dom > and Gomorrah <6017 <Amorah > ,  and ye were as a 
firebrand <0181 >uwd > plucked <5337 natsal > out of the burning 
<8316 s@rephah > :  yet have ye not returned <7725 shuwb > unto 
me ,  saith <5001 na>am > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  12 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > will I do <6213 
<asah > unto thee ,  O Israel <3478 Yisra>el > :   [ and ]  
because I will do <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > unto thee ,

wind <7307 ruwach > ,  and declareth <5046 nagad > unto man 
<0120 >adam > what <4100 mah >  [ is ]  his thought <7807 shach

darkness <5890 <eyphah > ,  and treadeth <1869 darak > upon the

 : Amos 5

 :  1 .  Hear <8085 shama< > ye this <2088 zeh > word <1697

<5921 <al > you ,   [ even ]  a lamentation <7015 qiynah > ,  O 
house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 :  2 The virgin <1330 b@thuwlah > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > is 
fallen <5307 naphal > ;  she shall no <3808 lo> > more <5750

her land <0127 >adamah > ;   [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > to

 :  3 For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136

<3318 yatsa> > out  [ by ]  a thousand <0505 >eleph > shall

the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > . 

 :  4 .  For thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 
Y@hovah > unto the house <1004 bayith > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el

nor <3808 lo> > enter <0935 bow> > into Gilgal <1537 Gilgal > ,  
and pass <5674 <abar > not to Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba< > :

 :  6 Seek <1875 darash > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and ye 
shall live <2421 chayah > ;  lest <6435 pen > he break <6743 
tsalach > out like fire <0784 >esh > in the house <1004 bayith >

 and  [ there be ]  none <0369 >ayin > to quench <3518 kabah >  
[ it ]  in Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > . 

 :  7 Ye who turn <2015 haphak > judgment <4941 mishpat > to 
wormwood <3939 la<anah > ,  and leave <3241 Yaniym > off 
righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > in the earth <0776 >erets > , 

 :  8  [ Seek him ]  that maketh <6213 <asah > the seven <3598

turneth <2015 haphak > the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death 
<6757 tsalmaveth > into the morning <1242 boqer > ,  and maketh 
the day <3117 yowm > dark <2821 chashak > with night <3915 layil

the sea <3220 yam > ,  and poureth <8210 shaphak > them out upon 
the face <6440 paniym > of the earth <0776 >erets > :  The LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  his name <8034 shem > : 

 :  9 That strengtheneth <1082 balag > the spoiled <7701 shod > 
against <5921 <al > the strong <5794 <az > ,  so that the 
spoiled <7701 shod > shall come <0935 bow> > against <5921 <al > 
the fortress <4013 mibtsar > . 

 :  10 They hate <8130 sane> > him that rebuketh <3198 yakach > 
in the gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  and they abhor <8581 ta<ab > him 
that speaketh <1696 dabar > uprightly <8549 tamiym > . 

 :  11 Forasmuch <3282 ya<an > therefore <3651 ken > as your 
treading <1318 bashac >  [ is ]  upon the poor <1800 dal > ,  
and ye take <3947 laqach > from him burdens <4864 mas>eth > of 
wheat <1250 bar > :  ye have built <1129 banah > houses <1004 
bayith > of hewn <1496 gaziyth > stone <1496 gaziyth > ,  but ye 
shall not dwell <3427 yashab > in them ;  ye have planted <5193 
nata< > pleasant <2531 chemed > vineyards <3754 kerem > ,  but 
ye shall not drink <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > of them . 

 :  12 For I know <3045 yada< > your manifold <7227 rab > 
transgressions <6588 pesha< > and your mighty <6099 <atsuwm > 
sins <2403 chatta>ah > :  they afflict <6887 tsarar > the just

kopher > ,  and they turn <5186 natah > aside <5186 natah > the 
poor <34> in the gate <8179 sha<ar >  [ from their right ]  . 

 :  13 Therefore <3651 ken > the prudent <7919 sakal > shall 
keep silence <1826 damam > in that time <6256 <eth > ;  for it  
[ is ]  an evil <7451 ra< > time <6256 <eth > . 

 :  14 Seek <1875 darash > good <2896 towb > ,  and not evil 
<7451 ra< > ,  that ye may live <2421 chayah > :  and so <3651 
ken > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the God <0430 >elohiym > of 
hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  shall be with you ,  as ye have spoken 
<0559 >amar > . 

 :  15 Hate <8130 sane> > the evil <7451 ra< > ,  and love <0157 
>ahab > the good <2896 towb > ,  and establish <3322 yatsag > 
judgment <4941 mishpat > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > :  it may be 
that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> > will be gracious <2587 channuwn > unto the 
remnant <7611 sh@>eriyth > of Joseph <3130 Yowceph > . 

 :  16 .  Therefore <3651 ken > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  the 
God <0430 >elohiym > of hosts <6635 tsaba> > ,  the Lord <0136 
>Adonay > ,  saith <0559 >amar > thus <3541 koh > ;  Wailing 
<4553 micepd >  [ shall be ]  in all <3605 kol > streets <7339 
r@chob > ;  and they shall say <0559 >amar > in all <3605 kol > 
the highways <2351 chuwts > ,  Alas <1930 how > !  alas <1930

 :  17 And in all <3605 kol > vineyards <3754 kerem >  [ shall

LORD <3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  darkness <2822 choshek > ,  and 
not light <0216 >owr > . 

 :  19 As if <0834 >aher > a man <0376 >iysh > did flee <5127 
nuwc > from a lion <0738 >ariy > ,  and a bear <1677 dob > met 
<6293 paga< > him ;  or went <0935 bow> > into the house <1004

<5921 <al > the wall <7023 qiyr > ,  and a serpent <5175 nachash

 :  20  [ Shall ]  not the day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068

<0216 >owr > ?  even very <0651 >aphel > dark <0651 >aphel > ,  
and no <3808 lo> > brightness <5051 nogahh > in it ? 

 :  21 .  I hate <8130 sane> > ,  I despise <3988 ma>ac > your 
feast <2282 chag > days ,  and I will not smell <7306 ruwach > 
in your solemn <6116 <atsarah > assemblies <6116 <atsarah > . 

 :  22 Though ye offer <5927 <alah > me burnt <5930 <olah > 
offerings and your meat offerings <4503 minchah > ,  I will not 
accept <7521 ratsah >  [ them ]  :  neither <3808 lo> > will I 
regard <5027 nabat > the peace <8002 shelem > offerings of your 
fat <4806 m@riy> > beasts <4806 m@riy> > . 

 :  23 Take <5493 cuwr > thou away <5493 cuwr > from me the 
noise <1995 hamown > of thy songs <7892 shiyr > ;  for I will 
not hear <8085 shama< > the melody <2172 zimrah > of thy viols 
<5035 nebel > . 

 :  24 But let judgment <4941 mishpat > run <1556 galal > down 
as waters <4325 mayim > ,  and righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > as 
a mighty <0386 >eythan > stream <5158 nachal > . 

 :  25 Have ye offered <5066 nagash > unto me sacrifices <2077 
zebach > and offerings <4503 minchah > in the wilderness <4057 
midbar > forty <0705 >arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > ,  O house

 :  26 But ye have borne <5375 nasa> > the tabernacle <5522 
cikkuwth > of your Moloch <4432 Molek > and Chiun <3594 Kiyuwn > 
your images <6754 tselem > ,  the star <3556 kowkab > of your 
god <0430 >elohiym > ,  which <0834 >aher > ye made <6213 <asah

 :  27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity <1540

<0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  whose name <8034 shem

chief <7225 re>shiyth > ointments <8081 shemen > :  but they are 
not grieved <2470 chalah > for the affliction <7667 sheber > of 
Joseph <3130 Yowceph > . 

 :  7 Therefore <3651 ken > now <6258 <attah > shall they go 
captive <1540 galah > with the first <7218 ro>sh > that go 
captive <1540 galah > ,  and the banquet <4797 mirzach > of them

said <0559 >amar > ,  O Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > 
,  forgive <5545 calach > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > thee :  by 
whom <4310 miy > shall Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > arise <6965 quwm > 
?  for he  [ is ]  small <6996 qatan > . 

 :  3 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > repented <5162 nacham > for this 
<2063 zo>th > :  It shall not be ,  saith <0559 >amar > the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  4 Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 
Y@hovih > shewed <7200 ra>ah > unto me :  and ,  behold <2009 
hinneh > ,  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > called 
<7121 qara> > to contend <7678 Shabb@thay > by fire <0784 >esh > 
,  and it devoured <0398 >akal > the great <7227 rab > deep

cheleq > . 

 :  5 Then said <0559 >amar > I ,  O Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD 
<3069 Y@hovih > ,  cease <2308 chadal > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > 
thee :  by whom <4310 miy > shall Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > arise 
<6965 quwm > ?  for he  [ is ]  small <6996 qatan > . 

 :  6 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > repented <5162 nacham > for this 
<2063 zo>th > :  This <1931 huw> > also shall not be ,  saith 
<0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > . 

 :  7 Thus <3541 koh > he shewed <7200 ra>ah > me :  and ,  
behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the Lord <0136 >Adonay > stood <5324 
natsab > upon a wall <2346 chowmah >  [ made ]  by a plumbline 
<0594 >anak > ,  with a plumbline <0594 >anak > in his hand 
<3027 yad > . 

 :  8 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  
Amos <5986 <Amowc > ,  what <4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou 
?  And I said <0559 >amar > ,  A plumbline <0594 >anak > .  Then 
said <0559 >amar > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > ,  Behold <2005 hen

Yisra>el > :  I will not again <3254 yacaph > pass <5674 <abar > 
by them any more <5750 <owd > : 

 :  9 And the high <1116 bamah > places of Isaac <3446 Yischaq > 
shall be desolate <8074 shamem > ,  and the sanctuaries <4720 
miqdash > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall be laid waste <2717 
charab > ;  and I will rise <6965 quwm > against <5921 <al > the 
house <1004 bayith > of Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > with the sword 
<2719 chereb > . 

 :  10 .  Then Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > the priest <3548 kohen

<3379 Yarob<am > king <4428 melek > of Israel <3478 Yisra>el > , 
 saying <0559 >amar > ,  Amos <5986 <Amowc > hath conspired 
<7194 qashar > against <5921 <al > thee in the midst <7130 qereb

land <0776 >erets > is not able <3201 yakol > to bear <3557 kuwl

 :  11 For thus <3541 koh > Amos <5986 <Amowc > saith <0559 
>amar > ,  Jeroboam <3379 Yarob<am > shall die <4191 muwth > by 
the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall 
surely be led away captive <1540 galah > out of their own land 
<0127 >adamah > . 

 :  12 Also Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > said <0559 >amar > unto 
Amos <5986 <Amowc > ,  O thou seer <2374 chozeh > ,  go <3212 
yalak > ,  flee <1272 barach > thee away into <0413 >el > the 
land <0776 >erets > of Judah <3063 Y@huwdah > ,  and there <8033 
sham > eat <0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > ,  and prophesy 
<5012 naba> > there <8033 sham > : 

 :  13 But prophesy <5012 naba> > not again <3254 yacaph > any 
more <5750 <owd > at Bethel <1008 Beyth - >El > :  for it  [ is 
]  the king s <4428 melek > chapel <4720 miqdash > ,  and it  [ 
is ]  the king s <4467 mamlakah > court <1004 bayith > . 

 :  14 Then answered <6030 <anah > Amos <5986 <Amowc > ,  and 
said <0559 >amar > to Amaziah <0558 >Amatsyah > ,  I  [ was ]  
no <3808 lo> > prophet <5030 nabiy> > ,  neither <3808 lo> >  [ 
was ]  I a prophet s <5030 nabiy> > son <1121 ben > ;  but I  [ 
was ]  an herdman <0951 bowker > ,  and a gatherer <1103 balac > 
of sycomore <8256 shaqam > fruit : 

 :  15 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > took <3947 laqach > me as I 
followed <0310 >achar > the flock <6629 tso>n > ,  and the LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto me ,  Go <3212 yalak > , 
 prophesy <5012 naba> > unto my people <5971 <am > Israel <3478 
Yisra>el > . 

 :  16 Now <6258 <attah > therefore hear <8085 shama< > thou the 
word <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > :  Thou sayest 
<0559 >amar > ,  Prophesy <5012 naba> > not against <5921 <al > 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ,  and drop <5197 nataph > not  [ thy 
word ]  against <5921 <al > the house <1004 bayith > of Isaac 
<3446 Yischaq > . 

 :  17 Therefore <3651 ken > thus <3541 koh > saith <0559 >amar 
> the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ;  Thy wife <0802 >ishshah > shall be 
an harlot <2181 zanah > in the city <5892 <iyr > ,  and thy sons 
<1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > shall fall <5307 
naphal > by the sword <2719 chereb > ,  and thy land <0127 
>adamah > shall be divided <2505 chalaq > by line <2256 chebel > 
;  and thou shalt die <4191 muwth > in a polluted <2931 tame> > 
land <0127 >adamah > :  and Israel <3478 Yisra>el > shall surely 
go into captivity <1540 galah > forth of his land <0127 >adamah

 : Amos 8

 :  1 .  Thus <3541 koh > hath the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD 
<3069 Y@hovih > shewed <7200 ra>ah > unto me :  and behold <2009 
hinneh > a basket <3619 k@lub > of summer <7019 qayits > fruit . 

 :  2 And he said <0559 >amar > ,  Amos <5986 <Amowc > ,  what 
<4100 mah > seest <7200 ra>ah > thou ?  And I said <0559 >amar > 
,  A basket <3619 k@lub > of summer <7019 qayits > fruit .  Then 
said <0559 >amar > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > unto me ,  The end 
<7093 qets > is come <0935 bow> > upon my people <5971 <am > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > ;  I will not again <3254 yacaph > pass 
<5674 <abar > by them any more <5750 <owd > . 

 :  3 And the songs <7892 shiyr > of the temple <1964 heykal > 
shall be howlings <3213 yalal > in that day <3117 yowm > ,  
saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > 
:   [ there shall be ]  many <7227 rab > dead <6297 peger > 
bodies <6297 peger > in every <3605 kol > place <4725 maqowm > ; 
 they shall cast <7993 shalak >  [ them ]  forth with silence 
<2013 hacah > . 

 :  4 .  Hear <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo>th > ,  O ye that 
swallow <7602 sha>aph > up the needy <34> ,  even to make the 
poor of the land <0776 >erets > to fail <7673 shabath > , 

 :  5 Saying <0559 >amar > ,  When <4970 mathay > will the new 
<2320 chodesh > moon <2320 chodesh > be gone <5674 <abar > ,  
that we may sell <7666 shabar > corn <7668 sheber > ?  and the 
sabbath <7676 shabbath > ,  that we may set <6605 pathach > 
forth <6605 pathach > wheat <1250 bar > ,  making the ephah 
<0374 >eyphah > small <6694 tsuwq > ,  and the shekel <8255 
sheqel > great <1431 gadal > ,  and falsifying <5791 <avath > 
the balances <3976 mo>zen > by deceit <4820 mirmah > ? 

 :  6 That we may buy <7069 qanah > the poor <1800 dal > for 
silver <3701 keceph > ,  and the needy <34> for a pair of shoes 
<5275 na<al > ;   [ yea ]  ,  and sell <7666 shabar > the refuse 
<4651 mappal > of the wheat <1250 bar > ? 

 :  7 The LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath sworn <7650 shaba< > by the 
excellency <1347 ga>own > of Jacob <3290 Ya<aqob > ,  Surely I 
will never forget <7911 shakach > any <3605 kol > of their works 
<4639 ma<aseh > . 

 :  8 Shall not the land <0776 >erets > tremble <7264 ragaz > 
for this <2063 zo>th > ,  and every <3605 kol > one mourn <56> 
that dwelleth <3427 yashab > therein ?  and it shall rise <5927 
<alah > up wholly <3605 kol > as a flood <2975 y@<or > ;  and it 
shall be cast <1644 garash > out and drowned <8248 shaqah > ,  
as  [ by ]  the flood <2975 y@<or > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > . 

 :  9 And it shall come <1961 hayah > to pass in that day <3117 
yowm > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 
Y@hovih > ,  that I will cause the sun <8121 shemesh > to go 
<0935 bow> > down at noon <6672 tsohar > ,  and I will darken 
<2821 chashak > the earth <0776 >erets > in the clear <0216 >owr

 :  10 And I will turn <2015 haphak > your feasts <2282 chag > 
into mourning <60> ,  and all <3605 kol > your songs <7892 shiyr

<alah > up sackcloth <8242 saq > upon all <3605 kol > loins 
<4975 mothen > ,  and baldness <7144 qorchah > upon every <3605

the mourning <60> of an only <3173 yachiyd >  [ son ]  ,  and 
the end <0319 >achariyth > thereof as a bitter <4751 mar > day 
<3117 yowm > . 

 :  11 .  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come 
<0935 bow> > ,  saith <5002 n@>um > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD 
<3069 Y@hovih > ,  that I will send <7971 shalach > a famine 
<7458 ra<ab > in the land <0776 >erets > ,  not a famine <7458 
ra<ab > of bread <3899 lechem > ,  nor <3808 lo> > a thirst 
<6772 tsama> > for water <4325 mayim > ,  but of hearing <8085 
shama< > the words <1697 dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > : 

 :  12 And they shall wander <5128 nuwa< > from sea <3220 yam > 
to sea <3220 yam > ,  and from the north <6828 tsaphown > even 
to the east <4217 mizrach > ,  they shall run <7751 shuwt > to

dabar > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,  and shall not find <4672 
matsa> >  [ it ]  . 

 :  13 In that day <3117 yowm > shall the fair <3303 yapheh > 
virgins <1330 b@thuwlah > and young <0970 bachuwr > men faint 
<5968 <alaph > for thirst <6772 tsama> > . 

 :  14 They that swear <7650 shaba< > by the sin <0819 >ashmah > 
of Samaria <8111 Shom@rown > ,  and say <0559 >amar > ,  Thy god 
<0430 >elohiym > ,  O Dan <1835 Dan > ,  liveth <2416 chay > ;  
and ,  The manner <1870 derek > of Beersheba <0884 B@>er Sheba<

and never <3808 lo> > rise <6965 quwm > up again <5750 <owd > . 

 : Amos 9

 :  1 .  I saw <7200 ra>ah > the Lord <0136 >Adonay > standing 
<5324 natsab > upon the altar <4196 mizbeach > :  and he said 
<0559 >amar > ,  Smite <5221 nakah > the lintel <3730 kaphtor > 
of the door ,  that the posts <5592 caph > may shake <7493 
ra<ash > :  and cut <1214 batsa< > them in the head <7218 ro>sh

the last <0319 >achariyth > of them with the sword <2719 chereb

not be delivered <4422 malat > . 

 :  2 Though <0518 >im > they dig <2864 chathar > into hell 
<7585 sh@>owl > ,  thence <8033 sham > shall mine hand <3027 yad

<5927 <alah > up to heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  thence <8033 sham

 :  3 And though <0518 >im > they hide <2244> themselves in the 
top <7218 ro>sh > of Carmel <3760 Karmel > ,  I will search 
<2664 chaphas > and take <3947 laqach > them out thence <8033 
sham > ;  and though <0518 >im > they be hid <5641 cathar > from 
my sight <5869 <ayin > in the bottom <7172 qarqa< > of the sea 
<3220 yam > ,  thence <8033 sham > will I command <6680 tsavah > 
the serpent <5175 nachash > ,  and he shall bite <5391 nashak > 
them : 

 :  4 And though <0518 >im > they go <3212 yalak > into 
captivity <7628 sh@biy > before <6440 paniym > their enemies 
<0341 >oyeb > ,  thence <8033 sham > will I command <6680 tsavah

them :  and I will set <7760 suwm > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > upon 
them for evil <7451 ra< > ,  and not for good <2896 towb > . 

 :  5 And the Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih > of hosts 
<6635 tsaba> >  [ is ]  he that toucheth <5060 naga< > the land 
<0776 >erets > ,  and it shall melt <4127 muwg > ,  and all 
<3605 kol > that dwell therein shall mourn <56> :  and it shall 
rise <5927 <alah > up wholly <3605 kol > like a flood <2975 
y@<or > ;  and shall be drowned <8248 shaqah > ,  as  [ by ]  
the flood <2975 y@<or > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > . 

 :  6  [ It is ]  he that buildeth <1129 banah > his stories 
<4609 ma<alah > in the heaven <8064 shamayim > ,  and hath 
founded <3245 yacad > his troop <92> in the earth <0776 >erets >

the sea <3220 yam > ,  and poureth <8210 shaphak > them out upon 
the face <6440 paniym > of the earth <0776 >erets > :  The LORD 
<3068 Y@hovah >  [ is ]  his name <8034 shem > . 

 :  7  [ Are ]  ye not as children <1121 ben > of the Ethiopians 
<3569 Kuwshiy > unto me ,  O children <1121 ben > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ?  saith <5002 n@>um > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > 
.  Have not I brought <5927 <alah > up Israel <3478 Yisra>el > 
out of the land <0776 >erets > of Egypt <4714 Mitsrayim > ?  and 
the Philistines <6430 P@lishtiy > from Caphtor <3731 Kaphtor > , 
 and the Syrians <0758 >Aram > from Kir <7024 Qiyr > ? 

 :  8 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the 
Lord <0136 >Adonay > GOD <3069 Y@hovih >  [ are ]  upon the 
sinful <2401 chata>ah > kingdom <4467 mamlakah > ,  and I will 
destroy <8045 shamad > it from off <5921 <al > the face <6440

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > . 

 :  9 For ,  lo <2009 hinneh > ,  I will command <6680 tsavah > ,
  and I will sift <5128 nuwa< > the house <1004 bayith > of 
Israel <3478 Yisra>el > among all <3605 kol > nations <1471 gowy

 :  10 All <3605 kol > the sinners <2400 chatta> > of my people

  which say <0559 >amar > ,  The evil <7451 ra< > shall not 
overtake <5066 nagash > nor prevent <6923 qadam > us . 

 :  11 .  In that day <3117 yowm > will I raise <6965 quwm > up 
the tabernacle <5521 cukkah > of David <1732 David > that is 
fallen <5307 naphal > ,  and close <1443 gadar > up the breaches 
<6556 perets > thereof ;  and I will raise <6965 quwm > up his 
ruins <2034 hariycah > ,  and I will build <1129 banah > it as 
in the days <3117 yowm > of old <5769 <owlam > :

 :  13 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  the days <3117 yowm > come <0935

the plowman <2790 charash > shall overtake <5066 nagash > the 
reaper <7114 qatsar > ,  and the treader <1869 darak > of grapes 
<6025 <enab > him that soweth <4900 mashak > seed <2233 zera< > ;
  and the mountains <2022 har > shall drop <5197 nataph > sweet 
<6071 <aciyc > wine <6071 <aciyc > ,  and all <3605 kol > the 
hills <1389 gib<ah > shall melt <4127 muwg > . 

 :  14 And I will bring <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > the 
captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of my people <5971 <am > of Israel 
<3478 Yisra>el > ,  and they shall build <1129 banah > the waste 
<8074 shamem > cities <5892 <iyr > ,  and inhabit <3427 yashab > 
 [ them ]  ;  and they shall plant <5193 nata< > vineyards <3754
