Amos, Chapter 1

¹ The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa-what he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake, when Uzziah was king of Judah and Jeroboam son of Jehoash¹ was king of Israel.

² He said:

³ This is what the LORD says:

⁴ I will send fire upon the house of Hazael
that will consume the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.

⁵ I will break down the gate of Damascus;
I will destroy the king who is in² the Valley of Aven³
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.
The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,"
says the LORD .

⁶ This is what the LORD says:

⁷ I will send fire upon the walls of Gaza
that will consume her fortresses.

⁸ I will destroy the king⁴ of Ashdod
and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
till the last of the Philistines is dead,"
says the Sovereign LORD .

⁹ This is what the LORD says:

¹⁰ I will send fire upon the walls of Tyre
that will consume her fortresses."

¹¹ This is what the LORD says:

¹² I will send fire upon Teman
that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah."

¹³ This is what the LORD says:

¹⁴ I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah
that will consume her fortresses
amid war cries on the day of battle,
amid violent winds on a stormy day.

¹⁵ Her king⁵ will go into exile,
he and his officials together,"
says the LORD .

Amos, Chapter 2

¹ This is what the LORD says:

² I will send fire upon Moab
that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.¹
Moab will go down in great tumult
amid war cries and the blast of the trumpet.

³ I will destroy her ruler
and kill all her officials with him,"
says the LORD .

⁴ This is what the LORD says:

⁵ I will send fire upon Judah
that will consume the fortresses of Jerusalem."

⁶ This is what the LORD says:

⁷ They trample on the heads of the poor
as upon the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.

⁸ They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.
In the house of their god
they drink wine taken as fines.

⁹ "I destroyed the Amorite before them,
though he was tall as the cedars
and strong as the oaks.
I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots below.

¹⁰ "I brought you up out of Egypt,
and I led you forty years in the desert
to give you the land of the Amorites.

¹¹ I also raised up prophets from among your sons
and Nazirites from among your young men.
Is this not true, people of Israel?"
declares the LORD .

¹² "But you made the Nazirites drink wine
and commanded the prophets not to prophesy.

¹³ "Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.

¹⁴ The swift will not escape,
the strong will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.

¹⁵ The archer will not stand his ground,
the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
and the horseman will not save his life.

¹⁶ Even the bravest warriors
will flee naked on that day,"
declares the LORD .
