==Chapter 1==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|1}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=1}} The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which&lt;br /&gt;
he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah,&lt;br /&gt;
and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel,&lt;br /&gt;
two years before the earthquake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=2}} And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion, and utter his voice&lt;br /&gt;
from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall&lt;br /&gt;
mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=3}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and&lt;br /&gt;
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because&lt;br /&gt;
they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=4}} But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall&lt;br /&gt;
devour the palaces of Benhadad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=5}} I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the&lt;br /&gt;
inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the&lt;br /&gt;
sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall&lt;br /&gt;
go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=6}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Gaza, and for&lt;br /&gt;
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because&lt;br /&gt;
they carried away captive the whole captivity, to deliver them&lt;br /&gt;
up to Edom:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=7}} But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour&lt;br /&gt;
the palaces thereof:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=8}} And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him that&lt;br /&gt;
holdeth the sceptre from Ashkelon, and I will turn mine hand&lt;br /&gt;
against Ekron: and the remnant of the Philistines shall&lt;br /&gt;
perish, saith the Lord GOD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=9}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Tyrus, and&lt;br /&gt;
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because&lt;br /&gt;
they delivered up the whole captivity to Edom, and remembered&lt;br /&gt;
not the brotherly covenant:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=10}} But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyrus, which shall&lt;br /&gt;
devour the palaces thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=11}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Edom, and for&lt;br /&gt;
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he&lt;br /&gt;
did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all&lt;br /&gt;
pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his&lt;br /&gt;
wrath for ever:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=12}} But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the&lt;br /&gt;
palaces of Bozrah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=13}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of the children&lt;br /&gt;
of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment&lt;br /&gt;
thereof; because they have ripped up the women with child of&lt;br /&gt;
Gilead, that they might enlarge their border:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=14}} But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall&lt;br /&gt;
devour the palaces thereof, with shouting in the day of&lt;br /&gt;
battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=1|verse=15}} And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes&lt;br /&gt;
together, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 2==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|2}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=1}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Moab, and for&lt;br /&gt;
four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he&lt;br /&gt;
burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=2}} But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the&lt;br /&gt;
palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with&lt;br /&gt;
shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=3}} And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will&lt;br /&gt;
slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=4}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and&lt;br /&gt;
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because&lt;br /&gt;
they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his&lt;br /&gt;
commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after the&lt;br /&gt;
which their fathers have walked:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=5}} But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the&lt;br /&gt;
palaces of Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=6}} Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Israel, and&lt;br /&gt;
for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because&lt;br /&gt;
they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of&lt;br /&gt;
shoes;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=7}} That pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor,&lt;br /&gt;
and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father&lt;br /&gt;
will go in unto the same maid, to profane my holy name:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=8}} And they lay themselves down upon clothes laid to pledge by&lt;br /&gt;
every altar, and they drink the wine of the condemned in the&lt;br /&gt;
house of their god.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=9}} Yet destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like&lt;br /&gt;
the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I&lt;br /&gt;
destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=10}} Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you&lt;br /&gt;
forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the&lt;br /&gt;
Amorite.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=11}} And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young&lt;br /&gt;
men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of&lt;br /&gt;
Israel? saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=12}} But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the&lt;br /&gt;
prophets, saying, Prophesy not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=13}} Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is&lt;br /&gt;
full of sheaves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=14}} Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the&lt;br /&gt;
strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the&lt;br /&gt;
mighty deliver himself:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=15}} Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is&lt;br /&gt;
swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall he that&lt;br /&gt;
rideth the horse deliver himself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=2|verse=16}} And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away&lt;br /&gt;
naked in that day, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 3==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|3}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=1}} Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O&lt;br /&gt;
children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought&lt;br /&gt;
up from the land of Egypt, saying,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=2}} You only have I known of all the families of the earth:&lt;br /&gt;
therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=3}} Can two walk together, except they be agreed?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=4}} Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? will a&lt;br /&gt;
young lion cry out of his den, if he have taken nothing?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=5}} Can a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where no gin is for&lt;br /&gt;
him? shall one take up a snare from the earth, and have taken&lt;br /&gt;
nothing at all?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=6}} Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be&lt;br /&gt;
afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not&lt;br /&gt;
done it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=7}} Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his&lt;br /&gt;
secret unto his servants the prophets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=8}} The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath&lt;br /&gt;
spoken, who can but prophesy?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=9}} Publish in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the&lt;br /&gt;
land of Egypt, and say, Assemble yourselves upon the mountains&lt;br /&gt;
of Samaria, and behold the great tumults in the midst thereof,&lt;br /&gt;
and the oppressed in the midst thereof.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=10}} For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up&lt;br /&gt;
violence and robbery in their palaces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=11}} Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; An adversary there shall be&lt;br /&gt;
even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy&lt;br /&gt;
strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=12}} Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth&lt;br /&gt;
of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the&lt;br /&gt;
children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the&lt;br /&gt;
corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=13}} Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord&lt;br /&gt;
GOD, the God of hosts,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=14}} That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of&lt;br /&gt;
Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and&lt;br /&gt;
the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the&lt;br /&gt;
ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=3|verse=15}} And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and&lt;br /&gt;
the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall&lt;br /&gt;
have an end, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 4==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|4}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=1}} Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of&lt;br /&gt;
Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which&lt;br /&gt;
say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=2}} The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days&lt;br /&gt;
shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks,&lt;br /&gt;
and your posterity with fishhooks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=3}} And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which&lt;br /&gt;
is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith&lt;br /&gt;
the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=4}} Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply&lt;br /&gt;
transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and&lt;br /&gt;
your tithes after three years:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=5}} And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and&lt;br /&gt;
proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you,&lt;br /&gt;
O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=6}} And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your&lt;br /&gt;
cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not&lt;br /&gt;
returned unto me, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=7}} And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were&lt;br /&gt;
yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon&lt;br /&gt;
one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one&lt;br /&gt;
piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not&lt;br /&gt;
withered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=8}} So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water;&lt;br /&gt;
but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me,&lt;br /&gt;
saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=9}} I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens&lt;br /&gt;
and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees&lt;br /&gt;
increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not&lt;br /&gt;
returned unto me, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=10}} I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of&lt;br /&gt;
Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have&lt;br /&gt;
taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your&lt;br /&gt;
camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned&lt;br /&gt;
unto me, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=11}} I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and&lt;br /&gt;
Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the&lt;br /&gt;
burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=12}} Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I&lt;br /&gt;
will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=4|verse=13}} For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind,&lt;br /&gt;
and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the&lt;br /&gt;
morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the&lt;br /&gt;
earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 5==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|5}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=1}} Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a&lt;br /&gt;
lamentation, O house of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=2}} The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is&lt;br /&gt;
forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=3}} For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a&lt;br /&gt;
thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by&lt;br /&gt;
an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=4}} For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me,&lt;br /&gt;
and ye shall live:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=5}} But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to&lt;br /&gt;
Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and&lt;br /&gt;
Bethel shall come to nought.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=6}} Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire&lt;br /&gt;
in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to&lt;br /&gt;
quench it in Bethel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=7}} Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness&lt;br /&gt;
in the earth,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=8}} Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth&lt;br /&gt;
the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark&lt;br /&gt;
with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and&lt;br /&gt;
poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his&lt;br /&gt;
name:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=9}} That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the&lt;br /&gt;
spoiled shall come against the fortress.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=10}} They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him&lt;br /&gt;
that speaketh uprightly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=11}} Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye&lt;br /&gt;
take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn&lt;br /&gt;
stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted&lt;br /&gt;
pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=12}} For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins:&lt;br /&gt;
they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside&lt;br /&gt;
the poor in the gate from their right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=13}} Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it&lt;br /&gt;
is an evil time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=14}} Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD,&lt;br /&gt;
the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=15}} Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in&lt;br /&gt;
the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be&lt;br /&gt;
gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=16}} Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus;&lt;br /&gt;
Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the&lt;br /&gt;
highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to&lt;br /&gt;
mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=17}} And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through&lt;br /&gt;
thee, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=18}} Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is&lt;br /&gt;
it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=19}} As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went&lt;br /&gt;
into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent&lt;br /&gt;
bit him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=20}} Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even&lt;br /&gt;
very dark, and no brightness in it?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=21}} I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in&lt;br /&gt;
your solemn assemblies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=22}} Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I&lt;br /&gt;
will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace&lt;br /&gt;
offerings of your fat beasts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=23}} Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not&lt;br /&gt;
hear the melody of thy viols.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=24}} But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a&lt;br /&gt;
mighty stream.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=25}} Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the&lt;br /&gt;
wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=26}} But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your&lt;br /&gt;
images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=5|verse=27}} Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond&lt;br /&gt;
Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 6==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|6}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=1}} Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the&lt;br /&gt;
mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to&lt;br /&gt;
whom the house of Israel came!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=2}} Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath&lt;br /&gt;
the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they&lt;br /&gt;
better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your&lt;br /&gt;
border?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=3}} Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of&lt;br /&gt;
violence to come near;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=4}} That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their&lt;br /&gt;
couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves&lt;br /&gt;
out of the midst of the stall;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=5}} That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves&lt;br /&gt;
instruments of musick, like David;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=6}} That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief&lt;br /&gt;
ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of&lt;br /&gt;
Joseph.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=7}} Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go&lt;br /&gt;
captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves&lt;br /&gt;
shall be removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=8}} The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of&lt;br /&gt;
hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces:&lt;br /&gt;
therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=9}} And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one&lt;br /&gt;
house, that they shall die.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=10}} And a man&amp;#039;s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him,&lt;br /&gt;
to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto&lt;br /&gt;
him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with&lt;br /&gt;
thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy&lt;br /&gt;
tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=11}} For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great&lt;br /&gt;
house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=12}} Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen?&lt;br /&gt;
for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of&lt;br /&gt;
righteousness into hemlock:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=13}} Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not&lt;br /&gt;
taken to us horns by our own strength?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=6|verse=14}} But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of&lt;br /&gt;
Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall&lt;br /&gt;
afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of&lt;br /&gt;
the wilderness.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 7==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|7}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=1}} Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed&lt;br /&gt;
grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter&lt;br /&gt;
growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king&amp;#039;s&lt;br /&gt;
mowings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=2}} And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating&lt;br /&gt;
the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I&lt;br /&gt;
beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=3}} The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=4}} Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord&lt;br /&gt;
GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep,&lt;br /&gt;
and did eat up a part.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=5}} Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall&lt;br /&gt;
Jacob arise? for he is small.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=6}} The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the&lt;br /&gt;
Lord GOD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=7}} Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall&lt;br /&gt;
made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=8}} And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said,&lt;br /&gt;
A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a&lt;br /&gt;
plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again&lt;br /&gt;
pass by them any more:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=9}} And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the&lt;br /&gt;
sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise&lt;br /&gt;
against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=10}} Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of&lt;br /&gt;
Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst&lt;br /&gt;
of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his&lt;br /&gt;
words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=11}} For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and&lt;br /&gt;
Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=12}} Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away&lt;br /&gt;
into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy&lt;br /&gt;
there:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=13}} But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the&lt;br /&gt;
king&amp;#039;s chapel, and it is the king&amp;#039;s court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=14}} Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet,&lt;br /&gt;
neither was I a prophet&amp;#039;s son; but I was an herdman, and a&lt;br /&gt;
gatherer of sycomore fruit:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=15}} And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD&lt;br /&gt;
said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=16}} Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest,&lt;br /&gt;
Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the&lt;br /&gt;
house of Isaac.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=7|verse=17}} Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in&lt;br /&gt;
the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the&lt;br /&gt;
sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt&lt;br /&gt;
die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into&lt;br /&gt;
captivity forth of his land.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 8==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|8}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=1}} Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of&lt;br /&gt;
summer fruit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=2}} And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of&lt;br /&gt;
summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon&lt;br /&gt;
my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=3}} And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day,&lt;br /&gt;
saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every&lt;br /&gt;
place; they shall cast them forth with silence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=4}} Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the&lt;br /&gt;
poor of the land to fail,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=5}} Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?&lt;br /&gt;
and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah&lt;br /&gt;
small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by&lt;br /&gt;
deceit?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=6}} That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair&lt;br /&gt;
of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=7}} The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will&lt;br /&gt;
never forget any of their works.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=8}} Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that&lt;br /&gt;
dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and&lt;br /&gt;
it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=9}} And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD,&lt;br /&gt;
that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will&lt;br /&gt;
darken the earth in the clear day:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=10}} And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs&lt;br /&gt;
into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all&lt;br /&gt;
loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the&lt;br /&gt;
mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=11}} Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a&lt;br /&gt;
famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for&lt;br /&gt;
water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=12}} And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even&lt;br /&gt;
to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the&lt;br /&gt;
LORD, and shall not find it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=13}} In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for&lt;br /&gt;
thirst.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=8|verse=14}} They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O&lt;br /&gt;
Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they&lt;br /&gt;
shall fall, and never rise up again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Chapter 9==&lt;br /&gt;
{{chapter|9}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=1}} I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the&lt;br /&gt;
lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in&lt;br /&gt;
the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with&lt;br /&gt;
the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he&lt;br /&gt;
that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=2}} Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them;&lt;br /&gt;
though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=3}} And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will&lt;br /&gt;
search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from&lt;br /&gt;
my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the&lt;br /&gt;
serpent, and he shall bite them:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=4}} And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence&lt;br /&gt;
will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will&lt;br /&gt;
set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=5}} And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it&lt;br /&gt;
shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it&lt;br /&gt;
shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by&lt;br /&gt;
the flood of Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=6}} It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath&lt;br /&gt;
founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters&lt;br /&gt;
of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth:&lt;br /&gt;
The LORD is his name.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=7}} Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children&lt;br /&gt;
of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of&lt;br /&gt;
the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the&lt;br /&gt;
Syrians from Kir?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=8}} Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom,&lt;br /&gt;
and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving&lt;br /&gt;
that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the&lt;br /&gt;
LORD.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=9}} For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel&lt;br /&gt;
among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet&lt;br /&gt;
shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=10}} All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which&lt;br /&gt;
say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=11}} In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is&lt;br /&gt;
fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up&lt;br /&gt;
his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=12}} That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the&lt;br /&gt;
heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that&lt;br /&gt;
doeth this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=13}} Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall&lt;br /&gt;
overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth&lt;br /&gt;
seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the&lt;br /&gt;
hills shall melt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=14}} And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel,&lt;br /&gt;
and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and&lt;br /&gt;
they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they&lt;br /&gt;
shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{verse|chapter=9|verse=15}} And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more&lt;br /&gt;
be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith&lt;br /&gt;
the LORD thy God.&lt;br /&gt;
