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

Judgments on Israel’s Neighbors
1 The words of Amos, who was among the (A)sheepbreeders of (B)Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of (C)Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of (D)Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the (E)earthquake.
2 And he said:
“The Lord (F)roars from Zion,
And utters His voice from Jerusalem;
The pastures of the shepherds mourn,
And the top of (G)Carmel withers.”
Judgment on the Nations
3 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (H)Damascus, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they have (I)threshed Gilead with implements of iron.
4 (J)But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael,
Which shall devour the palaces of (K)Ben-Hadad.
5 I will also break the gate (L)bar of Damascus,
And cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven,
And the one who [a]holds the scepter from [b]Beth Eden.
The people of Syria shall go captive to Kir,”
Says the Lord.
6 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (M)Gaza, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they took captive the whole captivity
To deliver them up to Edom.
7 (N)But I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza,
Which shall devour its palaces.
8 I will cut off the inhabitant (O)from Ashdod,
And the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will (P)turn My hand against Ekron,
And (Q)the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
Says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (R)Tyre, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom,
And did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre,
Which shall devour its palaces.”
11 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (S)Edom, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because he pursued his (T)brother with the sword,
And cast off all pity;
His anger tore perpetually,
And he kept his wrath forever.
12 But (U)I will send a fire upon Teman,
Which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
13 Thus says the Lord:
“For three transgressions of (V)the people of Ammon, and for four,
I will not turn away its punishment,
Because they ripped open the women with child in Gilead,
That they might enlarge their territory.
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of (W)Rabbah,
And it shall devour its palaces,
(X)Amid shouting in the day of battle,
And a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.
15 (Y)Their king shall go into captivity,
He and his princes together,”
Says the Lord.

Judgment Against Israel’s Neighbors
1 The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel two years before the earthquake.
2 He said:
The Lord roars from Zion
and utters His voice from Jerusalem;
the pastures of the shepherds languish,
the top of Carmel withers.
3 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Damascus,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they have threshed Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.
4 So I will send fire against the house of Hazael,
and it will devour the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.
5 I will break the gate bar of Damascus;
from the Valley of Aven I will cut off the one enthroned,
and from Beth Eden the one who holds the scepter.
The people of Aram will go into captivity to Kir,
says the Lord.
6 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Gaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they carried away into exile an entire deportation,
to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send fire against the wall of Gaza,
and it will devour its fortresses.
8 From Ashdod I will cut off the one enthroned
and from Ashkelon the one who holds the scepter.
I will turn My hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines will perish,
says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Tyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they delivered up an entire deportation to Edom,
and did not remember the covenant of kinship.
10 So I will send fire against the wall of Tyre,
and it will devour its fortresses.
11 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of Edom,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because he pursued his brother with the sword,
and repressed all pity;
his anger tore with no ceasing,
and his wrath persisted with no end.
12 So I will send fire against Teman,
and it will devour the fortresses of Bozrah.
13 Thus says the Lord:
For three transgressions of the Ammonites,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,
in order to enlarge their border.
14 So I will kindle a fire against the wall of Rabbah,
and it will devour its fortresses,
with a war cry on the day of battle,
with a tempest on the day of the whirlwind.
15 Their king shall go into captivity,
he and his princes together,
says the Lord.

Juicios contra las naciones vecinas
1 Las palabras de Amós, que fue uno de los pastores de Tecoa, que profetizó acerca de Israel en días de Uzías(A) rey de Judá y en días de Jeroboam(B) hijo de Joás, rey de Israel, dos años antes del terremoto. 2 Dijo: Jehová rugirá desde Sion, y dará su voz desde Jerusalén,(C) y los campos de los pastores se enlutarán, y se secará la cumbre del Carmelo.
3 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Damasco,(D) y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo; porque trillaron a Galaad con trillos de hierro. 4 Prenderé fuego en la casa de Hazael, y consumirá los palacios de Ben-adad. 5 Y quebraré los cerrojos de Damasco, y destruiré a los moradores del valle de Avén, y los gobernadores de Bet-edén; y el pueblo de Siria será transportado a Kir, dice Jehová.
6 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Gaza, y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo; porque llevó cautivo a todo un pueblo para entregarlo a Edom. 7 Prenderé fuego en el muro de Gaza, y consumirá sus palacios. 8 Y destruiré a los moradores de Asdod, y a los gobernadores de Ascalón; y volveré mi mano contra Ecrón, y el resto de los filisteos(E) perecerá, ha dicho Jehová el Señor.
9 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Tiro,(F) y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo; porque entregaron a todo un pueblo cautivo a Edom, y no se acordaron del pacto de hermanos. 10 Prenderé fuego en el muro de Tiro, y consumirá sus palacios.
11 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de Edom,(G) y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo; porque persiguió a espada a su hermano, y violó todo afecto natural; y en su furor le ha robado siempre, y perpetuamente ha guardado el rencor. 12 Prenderé fuego en Temán, y consumirá los palacios de Bosra.
13 Así ha dicho Jehová: Por tres pecados de los hijos de Amón,(H) y por el cuarto, no revocaré su castigo; porque para ensanchar sus tierras abrieron a las mujeres de Galaad que estaban encintas. 14 Encenderé fuego en el muro de Rabá, y consumirá sus palacios con estruendo en el día de la batalla, con tempestad en día tempestuoso; 15 y su rey irá en cautiverio, él y todos sus príncipes, dice Jehová.
