The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Teqo’a, which he saw concerning Yisra’el in the days of Uzziyahu king of Yehudah, and in the days of Yarovam son of Yoash, king of Yisra’el, two years before the earthquake.
2
And he said: “Yahuah shall roar from Tziyon and give His voice from Yerushalayim. And the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the summit of Karmel shall dry up.”
3
Thus says Yahuah: “For three transgressions of Dammeseq, and for four, I will not turn it back, because they threshed Gilad with threshing sledges of iron.
4
And I will send fire upon the house of Chaza’el, and it shall consume the strongholds of Ben-Hadad.
5
And I will break the bar of Dammeseq, and cut off the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven, and the one holding the scepter from Beit-Eden. And the people of Aram shall go into captivity to Qir,” says Yahuah.
6
Thus says Yahuah: “For three transgressions of Azzah, and for four, I will not turn it back, because they carried into exile an entire captivity to deliver them over to Edom.
7
And I will send fire upon the wall of Azzah, and it shall consume her strongholds.
8
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and the one holding the scepter from Ashqelon. And I will turn My hand against Eqron, and the remnant of the Pelishtim shall perish,” says Adonai Yahuah.
9
Thus says Yahuah: “For three transgressions of Tzor, and for four, I will not turn it back, because they delivered over an entire captivity to Edom and did not remember the Covenant of Brotherhood.
10
And I will send fire upon the wall of Tzor, and it shall consume her strongholds.”
11
Thus says Yahuah: “For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn it back, because he pursued his brother with the sword and destroyed his compassion. His anger tore continually, and he kept his wrath forever.
12
And I will send fire upon Teman, and it shall consume the strongholds of Botzrah.”
13
Thus says Yahuah: “For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn it back, because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilad in order to enlarge their border.
14
And I will kindle fire upon the wall of Rabbah, and it shall consume her strongholds, with a shout in the day of battle, with a storm in the day of whirlwind.
15
And their king shall go into captivity— he and his rulers together,” says Yahuah.
