English Standard Version
Amos 1-9
English Standard Version
1 The words of Amos, who was among the (A)shepherds[a] of (B)Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel (C)in the days of (D)Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of (E)Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years[b] before (F)the earthquake.
Judgment on Israel's Neighbors
2 And he said:
(G)“The Lord roars from Zion
and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
(H)the pastures of the shepherds mourn,
and the (I)top of (J)Carmel withers.”
3 Thus says the Lord:
(K)“For three transgressions of (L)Damascus,
and for four, (M)I will not revoke the punishment,[c]
because they have threshed (N)Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.
4 (O)So I will send a fire upon the house of (P)Hazael,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (Q)Ben-hadad.
5 I will (R)break the gate-bar of (S)Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of (T)Aven,[d]
and him who holds the scepter from (U)Beth-eden;
and the people of (V)Syria shall go into exile to (W)Kir,”
says the Lord.
6 Thus says the Lord:
(X)“For three transgressions of (Y)Gaza,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (Z)they carried into exile a whole people
to deliver them up to Edom.
7 So I will send a fire upon the wall of (AA)Gaza,
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8 I will cut off the inhabitants from (AB)Ashdod,
and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon;
I will turn my hand against Ekron,
and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish,”
says the Lord God.
9 Thus says the Lord:
(AC)“For three transgressions of (AD)Tyre,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because they delivered up a whole people to Edom,
and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
10 So I will send a fire upon the wall of (AE)Tyre,
and it shall devour her strongholds.”
11 Thus says the Lord:
(AF)“For three transgressions of (AG)Edom,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
(AH)because he pursued his brother with the sword
(AI)and cast off all pity,
(AJ)and his anger tore perpetually,
(AK)and he kept his wrath forever.
12 So I will send a fire upon (AL)Teman,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (AM)Bozrah.”
13 Thus says the Lord:
(AN)“For three transgressions of the (AO)Ammonites,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (AP)they have ripped open pregnant women in (AQ)Gilead,
that they might enlarge their border.
14 So I will kindle a fire in the wall of (AR)Rabbah,
(AS)and it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
(AT)with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
15 and (AU)their king shall go into exile,
he and his princes[e] together,”
says the Lord.
2 Thus says the Lord:
(AV)“For three transgressions of (AW)Moab,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,[f]
because (AX)he burned to lime
the bones of the king of Edom.
2 So I will send a fire upon Moab,
and it shall devour the strongholds of (AY)Kerioth,
and Moab shall die amid uproar,
amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
3 (AZ)I will cut off the ruler from its midst,
and will kill (BA)all its princes[g] with him,”
says the Lord.
Judgment on Judah
4 Thus says the Lord:
(BB)“For three transgressions of Judah,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (BC)they have rejected the law of the Lord,
and have not kept his statutes,
but (BD)their lies have led them astray,
those after which their fathers walked.
5 So (BE)I will send a fire upon Judah,
and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem.”
Judgment on Israel
6 Thus says the Lord:
(BF)“For three transgressions of Israel,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because (BG)they sell the righteous for (BH)silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals—
7 those who trample the head of the poor (BI)into the dust of the earth
and (BJ)turn aside the way of the afflicted;
(BK)a man and his father go in to the same girl,
so that my holy name is profaned;
8 they lay themselves down beside every altar
on garments (BL)taken in pledge,
and in the house of their God they drink
the wine of those who have been fined.
9 “Yet (BM)it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,
(BN)whose height was like the height of the cedars
and who was as strong as the oaks;
(BO)I destroyed his fruit above
and his roots beneath.
10 (BP)Also it was I who brought you up out of the land of Egypt
(BQ)and led you forty years in the wilderness,
(BR)to possess the land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up some of your sons for prophets,
and some of your young men for (BS)Nazirites.
Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?”
declares the Lord.
12 “But you made the Nazirites (BT)drink wine,
and commanded the prophets,
saying, (BU)‘You shall not prophesy.’
13 “Behold, I will press you down in your place,
as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
14 (BV)Flight shall perish from the swift,
(BW)and the strong shall not retain his strength,
(BX)nor shall the mighty save his life;
15 he who handles the bow shall not stand,
and he who is (BY)swift of foot shall not save himself,
(BZ)nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
16 and he who is stout of heart among the mighty
shall flee away naked in that day,”
declares the Lord.
Israel's Guilt and Punishment
3 (CA)Hear this word that the Lord has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family that I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
2 (CB)“You only have I known
of all the families of the earth;
(CC)therefore I will punish you
for all your iniquities.
3 “Do two walk together,
unless they have agreed to meet?
4 Does a lion roar in the forest,
when he has no prey?
Does a young lion cry out from his den,
if he has taken nothing?
5 Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth,
when there is no trap for it?
Does a snare spring up from the ground,
when it has taken nothing?
6 (CD)Is a trumpet blown in a city,
and the people are not afraid?
(CE)Does disaster come to a city,
unless the Lord has done it?
7 “For the Lord God does nothing
(CF)without revealing his secret
to his servants the prophets.
8 The lion has roared;
who will not fear?
(CG)The Lord God has spoken;
who can but prophesy?”
9 Proclaim to the strongholds in (CH)Ashdod
and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt,
and say, “Assemble yourselves on (CI)the mountains of Samaria,
and see the great tumults within her,
and (CJ)the oppressed in her midst.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,” declares the Lord,
(CK)“those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.”
11 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
(CL)“An adversary shall surround the land
and bring down[h] your defenses from you,
and (CM)your strongholds shall be plundered.”
12 Thus says the Lord: (CN)“As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, (CO)so shall the people of Israel (CP)who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part[i] of a bed.
13 “Hear, (CQ)and testify against the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord God, (CR)the God of hosts,
14 “that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions,
(CS)I will punish the altars of Bethel,
and (CT)the horns of the altar shall be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 (CU)I will strike (CV)the winter house along with (CW)the summer house,
and (CX)the houses of ivory shall perish,
and the great houses[j] shall come to an end,”
declares the Lord.
4 “Hear this word, (CY)you cows of Bashan,
who are (CZ)on the mountain of Samaria,
(DA)who oppress the poor, (DB)who crush the needy,
who say to your husbands, ‘Bring, that we may drink!’
2 (DC)The Lord God has sworn by his holiness
that, behold, the days are coming upon you,
(DD)when they shall take you away with hooks,
(DE)even the last of you with fishhooks.
3 (DF)And you shall go out through the breaches,
each one straight ahead;
and you shall be cast out into Harmon,”
declares the Lord.
4 (DG)“Come to Bethel, and transgress;
to (DH)Gilgal, and multiply transgression;
(DI)bring your (DJ)sacrifices every morning,
your tithes every three days;
5 offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of (DK)that which is leavened,
and proclaim (DL)freewill offerings, publish them;
(DM)for so you love to do, O people of Israel!”
declares the Lord God.
Israel Has Not Returned to the Lord
6 “I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities,
and (DN)lack of bread in all your places,
(DO)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
7 “I also (DP)withheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
(DQ)I would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8 so two or three cities (DR)would wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
(DS)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
9 (DT)“I struck you with blight and mildew;
your many gardens and your vineyards,
your fig trees and your olive trees (DU)the locust devoured;
(DV)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent among you a pestilence (DW)after the manner of Egypt;
I killed your young men with the sword,
and (DX)carried away your horses,[k]
and (DY)I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils;
(DZ)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
11 “I overthrew some of you,
(EA)as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,
and you were (EB)as a brand[l] plucked out of the burning;
(EC)yet you did not return to me,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel;
because I will do this to you,
prepare to meet your God, O Israel!”
13 For behold, (ED)he who forms the mountains and creates the wind,
and (EE)declares to man what is his thought,
(EF)who makes the morning darkness,
and (EG)treads on the heights of the earth—
(EH)the Lord, the God of hosts, is his name!
Seek the Lord and Live
5 Hear this word that I (EI)take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:
2 “Fallen, no more to rise,
is (EJ)the virgin Israel;
forsaken on her land,
with none to raise her up.”
3 For thus says the Lord God:
“The city that went out a thousand
shall have a hundred left,
and that which went out a hundred
shall have ten left
to the house of Israel.”
4 For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel:
(EK)“Seek me and live;
5 but do not seek (EL)Bethel,
and do not enter into (EM)Gilgal
or cross over to (EN)Beersheba;
for (EO)Gilgal shall surely go into exile,
and (EP)Bethel shall come to nothing.”
6 (EQ)Seek the Lord and live,
(ER)lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph,
and it devour, with none to quench it for (ES)Bethel,
7 O (ET)you who turn justice to wormwood[m]
and cast down righteousness to the earth!
8 He who made the (EU)Pleiades and Orion,
and turns deep darkness into the morning
and (EV)darkens the day into night,
who (EW)calls for the waters of the sea
(EX)and pours them out on the surface of the earth,
(EY)the Lord is his name;
9 (EZ)who makes destruction flash forth against the strong,
so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
10 (FA)They hate him who reproves (FB)in the gate,
and they (FC)abhor him who speaks the truth.
11 Therefore because you (FD)trample on[n] the poor
and you exact taxes of grain from him,
(FE)you have built houses of hewn stone,
but you shall not dwell in them;
(FF)you have planted pleasant vineyards,
but you shall not drink their wine.
12 For I know how many are your transgressions
and how great are your sins—
you who afflict the righteous, who (FG)take a bribe,
and (FH)turn aside the needy (FI)in the gate.
13 Therefore he who is prudent will (FJ)keep silent in such a time,
(FK)for it is an evil time.
14 (FL)Seek good, and not evil,
that you may live;
and so the Lord, (FM)the God of hosts, will be with you,
as you have said.
15 (FN)Hate evil, and love good,
and establish justice (FO)in the gate;
(FP)it may be that the Lord, the God of hosts,
will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
16 Therefore thus says the Lord, (FQ)the God of hosts, the Lord:
“In all the squares (FR)there shall be wailing,
and in all the streets they shall say, ‘Alas! Alas!’
They shall call the farmers to mourning
and (FS)to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
17 and in all vineyards there shall be wailing,
for (FT)I will pass through your midst,”
says the Lord.
Let Justice Roll Down
18 Woe to you who desire (FU)the day of the Lord!
Why would you have the day of the Lord?
(FV)It is darkness, and not light,
19 (FW)as if a man fled from a lion,
and a bear met him,
or went into the house and leaned his hand against the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
20 (FX)Is not the day of the Lord darkness, and not light,
and gloom with no brightness in it?
21 (FY)“I hate, I despise your feasts,
and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
22 (FZ)Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings,
I will not accept them;
and the peace offerings of your fattened animals,
I will not look upon them.
23 Take away from me the noise of your songs;
to (GA)the melody of your harps I will not listen.
24 But let justice roll down like waters,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25 (GB)“Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings during the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel? 26 (GC)You (GD)shall take up Sikkuth your king, and Kiyyun your star-god—your images that you made for yourselves, 27 (GE)and I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is (GF)the God of hosts.
Woe to Those at Ease in Zion
6 (GG)“Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who feel secure on (GH)the mountain of Samaria,
(GI)the notable men of (GJ)the first of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel comes!
2 Pass over to (GK)Calneh, and see,
and from there go to (GL)Hamath the great;
then go down to (GM)Gath of the Philistines.
(GN)Are you better than these kingdoms?
Or is their territory greater than your territory,
3 (GO)O you who put far away the day of disaster
(GP)and bring near the seat of violence?
4 “Woe to those (GQ)who lie on (GR)beds of ivory
(GS)and stretch themselves out on their couches,
and eat lambs from the flock
(GT)and calves from the midst of the stall,
5 (GU)who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp
and like David (GV)invent for themselves instruments of music,
6 (GW)who drink wine in bowls
and (GX)anoint themselves with the finest oils,
but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
7 (GY)Therefore they shall now be the first of those who go into exile,
and the revelry of those who stretch themselves out shall pass away.”
8 (GZ)The Lord God has sworn by himself, declares the Lord, the God of hosts:
“I abhor (HA)the pride of Jacob
and hate his strongholds,
(HB)and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it.”
9 And (HC)if ten men remain in one house, they shall die. 10 And when one's relative, (HD)the one who anoints him for burial, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, “Is there still anyone with you?” he shall say, “No”; and he shall say, (HE)“Silence! We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For behold, the Lord commands,
and (HF)the great house shall be struck down into fragments,
and the little house into bits.
12 Do horses run on rocks?
Does one plow there[o] with oxen?
(HG)But you have turned justice into (HH)poison
(HI)and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood[p]—
13 you who rejoice in Lo-debar,[q]
who say, (HJ)“Have we not by our own strength
captured Karnaim[r] for ourselves?”
14 “For behold, (HK)I will raise up against you a nation,
O house of Israel,” declares the Lord, the God of hosts;
“and they shall oppress you from (HL)Lebo-hamath
to the Brook of (HM)the Arabah.”
Warning Visions
7 (HN)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, (HO)he was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,
“O Lord God, please forgive!
(HP)How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
3 (HQ)The Lord relented concerning this:
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 (HR)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, the Lord God was calling (HS)for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land. 5 Then I said,
“O Lord God, please cease!
(HT)How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
6 (HU)The Lord relented concerning this:
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.
7 (HV)This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with (HW)a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the Lord said to me, (HX)“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said,
“Behold, I am setting (HY)a plumb line
in the midst of my people Israel;
(HZ)I will never again pass by them;
9 (IA)the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste,
and I will rise against (IB)the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
Amos Accused
10 Then Amaziah (IC)the priest of Bethel sent to (ID)Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has (IE)conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. 11 For thus Amos has said,
“‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and (IF)Israel must go into exile
away from his land.’”
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, (IG)“O seer, go, flee away (IH)to the land of Judah, and (II)eat bread there, and prophesy there, 13 but (IJ)never again prophesy at Bethel, for (IK)it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”
14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, (IL)“I was[s] no prophet, nor a prophet's son, but (IM)I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 (IN)But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 (IO)Now therefore hear the word of the Lord.
“You say, (IP)‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
and (IQ)do not preach against the house of (IR)Isaac.’
17 (IS)Therefore thus says the Lord:
“‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city,
and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
and your land (IT)shall be divided up with a measuring line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
and (IU)Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”
The Coming Day of Bitter Mourning
8 (IV)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, (IW)“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, (IX)“A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me,
(IY)“The end[t] has come upon my people Israel;
I will never again pass by them.
3 (IZ)The songs of the temple[u] (JA)shall become wailings[v] in that day,”
declares the Lord God.
(JB)“So many dead bodies!”
“They are thrown everywhere!”
(JC)“Silence!”
4 Hear this, (JD)you who trample on the needy
and bring the poor of the land to an end,
5 saying, “When will (JE)the new moon be over,
that we may sell grain?
And (JF)the Sabbath,
that we may offer wheat for sale,
that we may make (JG)the ephah small and the shekel[w] great
and deal deceitfully with false balances,
6 that we may buy the poor for (JH)silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals
and sell the chaff of the wheat?”
7 The Lord has sworn by (JI)the pride of Jacob:
“Surely (JJ)I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 (JK)Shall not the land tremble on this account,
and everyone mourn who dwells in it,
(JL)and all of it rise like the Nile,
and be tossed about (JM)and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?”
9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord God,
(JN)“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 (JO)I will turn your feasts into mourning
and all your songs into lamentation;
(JP)I will bring sackcloth on every waist
(JQ)and baldness on every head;
(JR)I will make it like the mourning for an only son
and the end of it like a bitter day.
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
“when (JS)I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
(JT)but of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 (JU)They shall wander from sea to sea,
and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
(JV)but they shall not find it.
13 (JW)“In that day the lovely virgins and the young men
shall (JX)faint for thirst.
14 Those who swear by (JY)the Guilt of Samaria,
and say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’
and, ‘As (JZ)the Way of (KA)Beersheba lives,’
they shall fall, and never rise again.”
The Destruction of Israel
9 I saw the Lord standing beside[x] the altar, and he said:
(KB)“Strike the capitals until (KC)the thresholds (KD)shake,
(KE)and shatter them on the heads of all the people;[y]
and those who are left of them I will kill with the sword;
(KF)not one of them shall flee away;
not one of them shall escape.
2 (KG)“If they dig into Sheol,
from there shall my hand take them;
(KH)if they climb up to heaven,
from there I will bring them down.
3 If they hide themselves on (KI)the top of Carmel,
from there I will search them out and take them;
(KJ)and if they hide from my sight at the bottom of the sea,
there I will command the serpent, and it shall bite them.
4 (KK)And if they go into captivity before their enemies,
there I will command the sword, and it shall kill them;
(KL)and I will fix my eyes upon them
for evil and not for good.”
5 The Lord God of hosts,
he who touches the earth and (KM)it melts,
and all who dwell in it mourn,
(KN)and all of it rises like the Nile,
(KO)and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;
6 (KP)who builds his upper chambers in the heavens
and founds his vault upon the earth;
(KQ)who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—
(KR)the Lord is his name.
7 “Are you not like (KS)the Cushites to me,
O people of Israel?” declares the Lord.
(KT)“Did I not bring up Israel from the land of Egypt,
and (KU)the Philistines from (KV)Caphtor and the Syrians from (KW)Kir?
8 Behold, (KX)the eyes of the Lord God are upon the sinful kingdom,
and I will destroy it from the surface of the ground,
(KY)except that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.
9 “For behold, I will command,
(KZ)and shake the house of Israel among all the nations
as one shakes with a sieve,
but no pebble shall fall to the earth.
10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword,
who say, (LA)‘Disaster shall not overtake or meet us.’
The Restoration of Israel
11 “In that day (LB)I will raise up
the booth of David that is fallen
and repair its breaches,
and raise up its ruins
and rebuild it as in the days of old,
12 (LC)that they may possess the remnant of Edom
and (LD)all the nations who are called by my name,”[z]
declares the Lord who does this.
13 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord,
(LE)“when the plowman shall overtake the reaper
and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed;
(LF)the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
and all the hills shall flow with it.
14 (LG)I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel,
and (LH)they shall rebuild the ruined cities and inhabit them;
(LI)they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine,
and they shall make gardens and eat their fruit.
15 (LJ)I will plant them on their land,
(LK)and they shall never again be uprooted
out of the land (LL)that I have given them,”
says the Lord your God.

New International Version
1 The words of Amos, one of the shepherds of Tekoa(A)—the vision he saw concerning Israel two years before the earthquake,(B) when Uzziah(C) was king of Judah and Jeroboam(D) son of Jehoash[a] was king of Israel.(E)
2 He said:
“The Lord roars(F) from Zion
and thunders(G) from Jerusalem;(H)
the pastures of the shepherds dry up,
and the top of Carmel(I) withers.”(J)
Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
3 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Damascus,(K)
even for four, I will not relent.(L)
Because she threshed Gilead
with sledges having iron teeth,
4 I will send fire(M) on the house of Hazael(N)
that will consume the fortresses(O) of Ben-Hadad.(P)
5 I will break down the gate(Q) of Damascus;
I will destroy the king who is in[b] the Valley of Aven[c]
and the one who holds the scepter in Beth Eden.(R)
The people of Aram will go into exile to Kir,(S)”
says the Lord.(T)
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Gaza,(U)
even for four, I will not relent.(V)
Because she took captive whole communities
and sold them to Edom,(W)
7 I will send fire on the walls of Gaza
that will consume her fortresses.
8 I will destroy the king[d] of Ashdod(X)
and the one who holds the scepter in Ashkelon.
I will turn my hand(Y) against Ekron,
till the last of the Philistines(Z) are dead,”(AA)
says the Sovereign Lord.(AB)
9 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Tyre,(AC)
even for four, I will not relent.(AD)
Because she sold whole communities of captives to Edom,
disregarding a treaty of brotherhood,(AE)
10 I will send fire on the walls of Tyre
that will consume her fortresses.(AF)”
11 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Edom,(AG)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he pursued his brother with a sword(AH)
and slaughtered the women of the land,
because his anger raged continually
and his fury flamed unchecked,(AI)
12 I will send fire on Teman(AJ)
that will consume the fortresses of Bozrah.(AK)”
13 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Ammon,(AL)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he ripped open the pregnant women(AM) of Gilead
in order to extend his borders,
14 I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah(AN)
that will consume(AO) her fortresses
amid war cries(AP) on the day of battle,
amid violent winds(AQ) on a stormy day.
15 Her king[e] will go into exile,
he and his officials together,(AR)”
says the Lord.(AS)
2 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Moab,(AT)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because he burned to ashes(AU)
the bones of Edom’s king,
2 I will send fire on Moab
that will consume the fortresses of Kerioth.[f](AV)
Moab will go down in great tumult
amid war cries(AW) and the blast of the trumpet.(AX)
3 I will destroy her ruler(AY)
and kill all her officials with him,”(AZ)
says the Lord.(BA)
4 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Judah,(BB)
even for four, I will not relent.
Because they have rejected the law(BC) of the Lord
and have not kept his decrees,(BD)
because they have been led astray(BE) by false gods,[g](BF)
the gods[h] their ancestors followed,(BG)
5 I will send fire(BH) on Judah
that will consume the fortresses(BI) of Jerusalem.(BJ)”
Judgment on Israel
6 This is what the Lord says:
“For three sins of Israel,
even for four, I will not relent.(BK)
They sell the innocent for silver,
and the needy for a pair of sandals.(BL)
7 They trample on the heads of the poor
as on the dust of the ground
and deny justice to the oppressed.
Father and son use the same girl
and so profane my holy name.(BM)
8 They lie down beside every altar
on garments taken in pledge.(BN)
In the house of their god
they drink wine(BO) taken as fines.(BP)
9 “Yet I destroyed the Amorites(BQ) before them,
though they were tall(BR) as the cedars
and strong as the oaks.(BS)
I destroyed their fruit above
and their roots(BT) below.
10 I brought you up out of Egypt(BU)
and led(BV) you forty years in the wilderness(BW)
to give you the land of the Amorites.(BX)
11 “I also raised up prophets(BY) from among your children
and Nazirites(BZ) from among your youths.
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.(CA)
13 “Now then, I will crush you
as a cart crushes when loaded with grain.(CB)
14 The swift will not escape,(CC)
the strong(CD) will not muster their strength,
and the warrior will not save his life.(CE)
15 The archer(CF) will not stand his ground,
the fleet-footed soldier will not get away,
and the horseman(CG) will not save his life.(CH)
16 Even the bravest warriors(CI)
will flee naked on that day,”
declares the Lord.
Witnesses Summoned Against Israel
3 Hear this word, people of Israel, the word the Lord has spoken against you(CJ)—against the whole family I brought up out of Egypt:(CK)
2 “You only have I chosen(CL)
of all the families of the earth;
therefore I will punish(CM) you
for all your sins.(CN)”
3 Do two walk together
unless they have agreed to do so?
4 Does a lion roar(CO) in the thicket
when it has no prey?(CP)
Does it growl in its den
when it has caught nothing?
5 Does a bird swoop down to a trap on the ground
when no bait(CQ) is there?
Does a trap spring up from the ground
if it has not caught anything?
6 When a trumpet(CR) sounds in a city,
do not the people tremble?
When disaster(CS) comes to a city,
has not the Lord caused it?(CT)
7 Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing
without revealing his plan(CU)
to his servants the prophets.(CV)
8 The lion(CW) has roared(CX)—
who will not fear?
The Sovereign Lord has spoken—
who can but prophesy?(CY)
9 Proclaim to the fortresses of Ashdod(CZ)
and to the fortresses of Egypt:
“Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria;(DA)
see the great unrest within her
and the oppression among her people.”
10 “They do not know how to do right,(DB)” declares the Lord,
“who store up in their fortresses(DC)
what they have plundered(DD) and looted.”
11 Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“An enemy will overrun your land,
pull down your strongholds
and plunder your fortresses.(DE)”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“As a shepherd rescues from the lion’s(DF) mouth
only two leg bones or a piece of an ear,
so will the Israelites living in Samaria be rescued,
with only the head of a bed
and a piece of fabric[i] from a couch.[j](DG)”
13 “Hear this and testify(DH) against the descendants of Jacob,” declares the Lord, the Lord God Almighty.
14 “On the day I punish(DI) Israel for her sins,
I will destroy the altars of Bethel;(DJ)
the horns(DK) of the altar will be cut off
and fall to the ground.
15 I will tear down the winter house(DL)
along with the summer house;(DM)
the houses adorned with ivory(DN) will be destroyed
and the mansions(DO) will be demolished,(DP)”
declares the Lord.(DQ)
Israel Has Not Returned to God
4 Hear this word, you cows of Bashan(DR) on Mount Samaria,(DS)
you women who oppress the poor(DT) and crush the needy(DU)
and say to your husbands,(DV) “Bring us some drinks!(DW)”
2 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by his holiness:
“The time(DX) will surely come
when you will be taken away(DY) with hooks,(DZ)
the last of you with fishhooks.[k]
3 You will each go straight out
through breaches in the wall,(EA)
and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[l]”
declares the Lord.
4 “Go to Bethel(EB) and sin;
go to Gilgal(EC) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(ED)
your tithes(EE) every three years.[m](EF)
5 Burn leavened bread(EG) as a thank offering
and brag about your freewill offerings(EH)—
boast about them, you Israelites,
for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
6 “I gave you empty stomachs in every city
and lack of bread in every town,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(EI)
7 “I also withheld(EJ) rain from you
when the harvest was still three months away.
I sent rain on one town,
but withheld it from another.(EK)
One field had rain;
another had none and dried up.
8 People staggered from town to town for water(EL)
but did not get enough(EM) to drink,
yet you have not returned(EN) to me,”
declares the Lord.(EO)
9 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
destroying them with blight and mildew.(EP)
Locusts(EQ) devoured your fig and olive trees,(ER)
yet you have not returned(ES) to me,”
declares the Lord.
10 “I sent plagues(ET) among you
as I did to Egypt.(EU)
I killed your young men(EV) with the sword,
along with your captured horses.
I filled your nostrils with the stench(EW) of your camps,
yet you have not returned to me,”(EX)
declares the Lord.(EY)
11 “I overthrew some of you
as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.(EZ)
You were like a burning stick(FA) snatched from the fire,
yet you have not returned to me,”
declares the Lord.(FB)
12 “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel,
and because I will do this to you, Israel,
prepare to meet your God.”
13 He who forms the mountains,(FC)
who creates the wind,(FD)
and who reveals his thoughts(FE) to mankind,
who turns dawn to darkness,
and treads on the heights of the earth(FF)—
the Lord God Almighty is his name.(FG)
A Lament and Call to Repentance
5 Hear this word, Israel, this lament(FH) I take up concerning you:
2 “Fallen is Virgin(FI) Israel,
never to rise again,
deserted in her own land,
with no one to lift her up.(FJ)”
3 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Israel:
“Your city that marches out a thousand strong
will have only a hundred left;
your town that marches out a hundred strong
will have only ten left.(FK)”
4 This is what the Lord says to Israel:
“Seek(FL) me and live;(FM)
5 do not seek Bethel,
do not go to Gilgal,(FN)
do not journey to Beersheba.(FO)
For Gilgal will surely go into exile,
and Bethel will be reduced to nothing.[n](FP)”
6 Seek(FQ) the Lord and live,(FR)
or he will sweep through the tribes of Joseph like a fire;(FS)
it will devour them,
and Bethel(FT) will have no one to quench it.(FU)
7 There are those who turn justice into bitterness(FV)
and cast righteousness(FW) to the ground.(FX)
8 He who made the Pleiades and Orion,(FY)
who turns midnight into dawn(FZ)
and darkens day into night,(GA)
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(GB)
9 With a blinding flash he destroys the stronghold
and brings the fortified city to ruin.(GC)
10 There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court(GD)
and detest the one who tells the truth.(GE)
11 You levy a straw tax on the poor(GF)
and impose a tax on their grain.
Therefore, though you have built stone mansions,(GG)
you will not live in them;(GH)
though you have planted lush vineyards,
you will not drink their wine.(GI)
12 For I know how many are your offenses
and how great your sins.(GJ)
There are those who oppress the innocent and take bribes(GK)
and deprive the poor(GL) of justice in the courts.(GM)
13 Therefore the prudent keep quiet(GN) in such times,
for the times are evil.(GO)
14 Seek good, not evil,
that you may live.(GP)
Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you,
just as you say he is.
15 Hate evil,(GQ) love good;(GR)
maintain justice in the courts.(GS)
Perhaps(GT) the Lord God Almighty will have mercy(GU)
on the remnant(GV) of Joseph.
16 Therefore this is what the Lord, the Lord God Almighty, says:
“There will be wailing(GW) in all the streets(GX)
and cries of anguish in every public square.
The farmers(GY) will be summoned to weep
and the mourners to wail.
17 There will be wailing(GZ) in all the vineyards,
for I will pass through(HA) your midst,”
says the Lord.(HB)
The Day of the Lord
18 Woe to you who long
for the day of the Lord!(HC)
Why do you long for the day of the Lord?(HD)
That day will be darkness,(HE) not light.(HF)
19 It will be as though a man fled from a lion
only to meet a bear,(HG)
as though he entered his house
and rested his hand on the wall
only to have a snake bite him.(HH)
20 Will not the day of the Lord be darkness,(HI) not light—
pitch-dark, without a ray of brightness?(HJ)
21 “I hate,(HK) I despise your religious festivals;(HL)
your assemblies(HM) are a stench to me.
22 Even though you bring me burnt offerings(HN) and grain offerings,
I will not accept them.(HO)
Though you bring choice fellowship offerings,
I will have no regard for them.(HP)
23 Away with the noise of your songs!
I will not listen to the music of your harps.(HQ)
24 But let justice(HR) roll on like a river,
righteousness(HS) like a never-failing stream!(HT)
25 “Did you bring me sacrifices(HU) and offerings
forty years(HV) in the wilderness, people of Israel?
26 You have lifted up the shrine of your king,
the pedestal of your idols,(HW)
the star of your god[o]—
which you made for yourselves.
27 Therefore I will send you into exile(HX) beyond Damascus,”
says the Lord, whose name is God Almighty.(HY)
Woe to the Complacent
6 Woe to you(HZ) who are complacent(IA) in Zion,
and to you who feel secure(IB) on Mount Samaria,(IC)
you notable men of the foremost nation,
to whom the people of Israel come!(ID)
2 Go to Kalneh(IE) and look at it;
go from there to great Hamath,(IF)
and then go down to Gath(IG) in Philistia.
Are they better off than(IH) your two kingdoms?
Is their land larger than yours?
3 You put off the day of disaster
and bring near a reign of terror.(II)
4 You lie on beds adorned with ivory
and lounge on your couches.(IJ)
You dine on choice lambs
and fattened calves.(IK)
5 You strum away on your harps(IL) like David
and improvise on musical instruments.(IM)
6 You drink wine(IN) by the bowlful
and use the finest lotions,
but you do not grieve(IO) over the ruin of Joseph.(IP)
7 Therefore you will be among the first to go into exile;(IQ)
your feasting and lounging will end.(IR)
The Lord Abhors the Pride of Israel
8 The Sovereign Lord has sworn by himself(IS)—the Lord God Almighty declares:
“I abhor(IT) the pride of Jacob(IU)
and detest his fortresses;(IV)
I will deliver up(IW) the city
and everything in it.(IX)”
9 If ten(IY) people are left in one house, they too will die. 10 And if the relative who comes to carry the bodies out of the house to burn them[p](IZ) asks anyone who might be hiding there, “Is anyone else with you?” and he says, “No,” then he will go on to say, “Hush!(JA) We must not mention the name of the Lord.”
11 For the Lord has given the command,
and he will smash(JB) the great house(JC) into pieces
and the small house into bits.(JD)
12 Do horses run on the rocky crags?
Does one plow the sea[q] with oxen?
But you have turned justice into poison(JE)
and the fruit of righteousness(JF) into bitterness(JG)—
13 you who rejoice in the conquest of Lo Debar[r]
and say, “Did we not take Karnaim[s] by our own strength?(JH)”
14 For the Lord God Almighty declares,
“I will stir up a nation(JI) against you, Israel,
that will oppress you all the way
from Lebo Hamath(JJ) to the valley of the Arabah.(JK)”
Locusts, Fire and a Plumb Line
7 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(JL) He was preparing swarms of locusts(JM) after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. 2 When they had stripped the land clean,(JN) I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive?(JO) He is so small!(JP)”
3 So the Lord relented.(JQ)
“This will not happen,” the Lord said.(JR)
4 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire;(JS) it dried up the great deep and devoured(JT) the land. 5 Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!(JU)”
6 So the Lord relented.(JV)
“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.(JW)
7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb,[t] with a plumb line[u] in his hand. 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(JX) Amos?(JY)”
“A plumb line,(JZ)” I replied.
Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(KA)
9 “The high places(KB) of Isaac will be destroyed
and the sanctuaries(KC) of Israel will be ruined;
with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam.(KD)”
Amos and Amaziah
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel(KE) sent a message to Jeroboam(KF) king of Israel: “Amos is raising a conspiracy(KG) against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.(KH) 11 For this is what Amos is saying:
“‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile,(KI)
away from their native land.’”(KJ)
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(KK) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(KL) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(KM) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(KN) of the kingdom.(KO)”
14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet(KP) nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.(KQ) 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock(KR) and said to me, ‘Go,(KS) prophesy(KT) to my people Israel.’(KU) 16 Now then, hear(KV) the word of the Lord. You say,
“‘Do not prophesy against(KW) Israel,
and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
“‘Your wife will become a prostitute(KX) in the city,
and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword.
Your land will be measured and divided up,
and you yourself will die in a pagan[v] country.
And Israel will surely go into exile,(KY)
away from their native land.(KZ)’”
A Basket of Ripe Fruit
8 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(LA) a basket of ripe fruit. 2 “What do you see,(LB) Amos?(LC)” he asked.
“A basket(LD) of ripe fruit,” I answered.
Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(LE)
3 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing.[w](LF) Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!(LG)”
5 saying,
“When will the New Moon(LJ) be over
that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
that we may market(LK) wheat?”(LL)—
skimping on the measure,
boosting the price
and cheating(LM) with dishonest scales,(LN)
6 buying the poor(LO) with silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals,
selling even the sweepings with the wheat.(LP)
7 The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob:(LQ) “I will never forget(LR) anything they have done.(LS)
8 “Will not the land tremble(LT) for this,
and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
it will be stirred up and then sink
like the river of Egypt.(LU)
9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
and darken the earth in broad daylight.(LV)
10 I will turn your religious festivals(LW) into mourning
and all your singing into weeping.(LX)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(LY)
and shave(LZ) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(MA)
and the end of it like a bitter day.(MB)
11 “The days are coming,”(MC) declares the Sovereign Lord,
“when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine(MD) of hearing the words of the Lord.(ME)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
but they will not find it.(MF)
13 “In that day
“the lovely young women and strong young men(MG)
will faint because of thirst.(MH)
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria(MI)—
who say, ‘As surely as your god lives, Dan,’(MJ)
or, ‘As surely as the god[x] of Beersheba(MK) lives’—
they will fall,(ML) never to rise again.(MM)”
Israel to Be Destroyed
9 I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and he said:
“Strike the tops of the pillars
so that the thresholds shake.
Bring them down on the heads(MN) of all the people;
those who are left I will kill with the sword.
Not one will get away,
none will escape.(MO)
2 Though they dig down to the depths below,(MP)
from there my hand will take them.
Though they climb up to the heavens above,(MQ)
from there I will bring them down.(MR)
3 Though they hide themselves on the top of Carmel,(MS)
there I will hunt them down and seize them.(MT)
Though they hide from my eyes at the bottom of the sea,(MU)
there I will command the serpent(MV) to bite them.(MW)
4 Though they are driven into exile by their enemies,
there I will command the sword(MX) to slay them.
5 The Lord, the Lord Almighty—
he touches the earth and it melts,(NB)
and all who live in it mourn;
the whole land rises like the Nile,
then sinks like the river of Egypt;(NC)
6 he builds his lofty palace[y](ND) in the heavens
and sets its foundation[z] on the earth;
he calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out over the face of the land—
the Lord is his name.(NE)
7 “Are not you Israelites
the same to me as the Cushites[aa]?”(NF)
declares the Lord.
“Did I not bring Israel up from Egypt,
the Philistines(NG) from Caphtor[ab](NH)
and the Arameans from Kir?(NI)
8 “Surely the eyes of the Sovereign Lord
are on the sinful kingdom.
I will destroy(NJ) it
from the face of the earth.
Yet I will not totally destroy
the descendants of Jacob,”
declares the Lord.(NK)
9 “For I will give the command,
and I will shake the people of Israel
among all the nations
as grain(NL) is shaken in a sieve,(NM)
and not a pebble will reach the ground.(NN)
10 All the sinners among my people
will die by the sword,(NO)
all those who say,
‘Disaster will not overtake or meet us.’(NP)
Israel’s Restoration
11 “In that day
“I will restore David’s(NQ) fallen shelter(NR)—
I will repair its broken walls
and restore its ruins(NS)—
and will rebuild it as it used to be,(NT)
12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom(NU)
and all the nations that bear my name,[ac](NV)”
declares the Lord, who will do these things.(NW)
13 “The days are coming,”(NX) declares the Lord,
“when the reaper(NY) will be overtaken by the plowman(NZ)
and the planter by the one treading(OA) grapes.
New wine(OB) will drip from the mountains
and flow from all the hills,(OC)
14 and I will bring(OD) my people Israel back from exile.[ad](OE)
“They will rebuild the ruined cities(OF) and live in them.
They will plant vineyards(OG) and drink their wine;
they will make gardens and eat their fruit.(OH)
15 I will plant(OI) Israel in their own land,(OJ)
never again to be uprooted(OK)
from the land I have given them,”(OL)
says the Lord your God.(OM)
