1The words of Amos, who was among the 1:1 ch. 7:14, 15shepherds1:1 Or sheep breeders of 1:1 2 Sam. 14:2Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel 1:1 See Hos. 1:1in the days of 1:1 2 Kgs. 15:1, 13, 30; 2 Chr. 26:1Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of 1:1 ch. 7:10; 2 Kgs. 14:23Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years1:1 Or during two years before 1:1 Zech. 14:5; [Isa. 29:6]the earthquake.
Judgment on Israel’s Neighbors
2And he said:
1:2 See Joel 3:16“The Lord roars from Zion
and utters his voice from Jerusalem;
1:2 [Ps. 65:12] the pastures of the shepherds mourn,
and the 1:2 ch. 9:3top of 1:2 See Josh. 19:26Carmel withers.”
3Thus says the Lord:
1:3 ver. 9, 11, 13; ch. 2:1, 4, 6; Prov. 30:15, 18, 21, 29“For three transgressions of 1:3 [Isa. 8:4] Damascus,
and for four, 1:3 [Isa. 8:4] I will not revoke the punishment,1:3 Hebrew I will not turn it back; also verses 6, 9, 11, 13
because they have threshed 1:3 ver. 13; [2 Kgs. 10:33; Isa. 21:10]Gilead
with threshing sledges of iron.
and it shall devour the strongholds of 1:4 2 Kgs. 13:24, 25Ben-hadad.
and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of 1:5 See Hos. 4:15Aven,1:5 Or On
and him who holds the scepter from 1:5 2 Kgs. 19:12Beth-eden;
and the people of 1:5 ch. 9:7; [2 Kgs. 16:9] Syria shall go into exile to 1:5 ch. 9:7; 2 Kgs. 16:9Kir,”
says the Lord.
6Thus says the Lord:
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because 1:6 2 Chr. 28:18; See Joel 3:4-6they carried into exile a whole people
to deliver them up to Edom.
and it shall devour her strongholds.
8I will cut off the inhabitants from 1:8 ch. 3:9; 1 Sam. 5:1Ashdod,
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.
9Thus says the Lord:
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.
and it shall devour her strongholds.”
11Thus says the Lord:
1:11 [See ver. 3above] “For three transgressions of 1:11 [2 Chr. 28:17] Edom,
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
1:11 [2 Chr. 28:17] because he pursued his brother with the sword
1:11 Ezek. 35:5and his anger tore perpetually,
1:11 Ezek. 35:5and he kept his wrath forever.
12So I will send a fire upon 1:12 Obad. 9; See 1 Chr. 1:45Teman,
and it shall devour the strongholds of 1:12 Isa. 63:1; See 1 Chr. 1:44Bozrah.”
13Thus says the Lord:
and for four, I will not revoke the punishment,
because 1:13 See Hos. 13:16they have ripped open pregnant women in 1:13 ver. 3Gilead,
that they might enlarge their border.
14So I will kindle a fire in the wall of 1:14 2 Sam. 11:1; 12:26; See Ezek. 21:20Rabbah,
1:14 [Ezek. 21:28, 29]and it shall devour her strongholds,
with shouting on the day of battle,
1:14 [Ezek. 21:28, 29]with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
he and his princes1:15 Or officials together,”
says the Lord.
