    #cj3jja3jja ,the words of ,amos1 who
 was among the herdmen of ,tekoa1 which 
he saw concerning ,israel in the days of
 ,uzziah king of ,judah1             and
 in the days of ,jeroboam the son of    
,joash king of ,israel1             two 
years before the earthquake4            
#cj3jja3jjb ,and he said1 ,the ,,lord   
will roar from ,zion1 and utter his     
voice             from ,jerusalem2 and  
the habitations of the shepherds shall  
mourn1 and the top of ,carmel shall     
wither4    #cj3jja3jjc ,thus saith the  
,,lord2 ,for three transgressions of    
,damascus1 and             for four1 ,i 
will not turn away the punishment       
thereof2 because             they have  
threshed ,gilead with threshing         
instruments of iron3    #cj3jja3jjd ,but
 ,i will send a fire into the house of  

,hazael1 which shall             devour 
the palaces of ,benhadad4    #cj3jja3jje
 ,i will break also the bar of          
,damascus1 and cut off the              
inhabitant from the plain of ,aven1 and 
him that holdeth the             sceptre
 from the house of ,eden3 and the people
 of ,syria shall             go into    
captivity unto ,kir1 saith the ,,lord4  
#cj3jja3jjf ,thus saith the ,,lord2 ,for
 three transgressions of ,gaza1 and for 
four1 ,i will not turn away the         
punishment thereof2 because             
they carried away captive the whole     
captivity1 to deliver them              
up to ,edom3    #cj3jja3jjg ,but ,i will
 send a fire on the wall of ,gaza1 which
 shall devour             the palaces   
thereof3    #cj3jja3jjh ,and ,i will cut
 off the inhabitant from ,ashdod1 and   
him that             holdeth the sceptre
 from ,ashkelon1 and ,i will turn mine  
hand             against ,ekron3 and the
 remnant of the ,philistines shall      
perish1 saith the ,lord ,,god4          

#cj3jja3jji ,thus saith the ,,lord2 ,for
 three transgressions of ,tyrus1 and    
for four1 ,i will not turn away the     
punishment thereof2 because             
they delivered up the whole captivity to
 ,edom1 and remembered             not  
the brotherly covenant3    #cj3jja3jaj  
,but ,i will send a fire on the wall of 
,tyrus1 which shall             devour  
the palaces thereof4    #cj3jja3jaa     
,thus saith the ,,lord2 ,for three      
transgressions of ,edom1 and for        
four1 ,i will not turn away the         
punishment thereof2 because he          
did pursue his brother with the sword1  
and did cast off all             pity1  
and his anger did tear perpetually1 and 
he kept his             wrath for ever3 
#cj3jja3jab ,but ,i will send a fire    
upon ,teman1 which shall devour the     
palaces of ,bozrah4    #cj3jja3jac ,thus
 saith the ,,lord2 ,for three           
transgressions of the children          
of ,ammon1 and for four1 ,i will not    
turn away the punishment                

thereof2 because they have ripped up the
 women with child of                    
,gilead1 that they might enlarge their  
border3    #cj3jja3jad ,but ,i will     
kindle a fire in the wall of ,rabbah1   
and it shall             devour the     
palaces thereof1 with shouting in the   
day of             battle1 with a       
tempest in the day of the whirlwind3    
#cj3jja3jae ,and their king shall go    
into captivity1 he and his princes      
together1 saith the ,,lord4             
#cj3jjb3jja ,thus saith the ,,lord2 ,for
 three transgressions of ,moab1 and for 
four1 ,i will not turn away the         
punishment thereof2 because he          
burned the bones of the king of ,edom   
into lime3    #cj3jjb3jjb ,but ,i will  
send a fire upon ,moab1 and it shall    
devour the             palaces of       
,kirioth3 and ,moab shall die with      
tumult1 with             shouting1 and  
with the sound of the trumpet3          
#cj3jjb3jjc ,and ,i will cut off the    
judge from the midst thereof1 and will  

slay all the princes thereof with him1  
saith the ,,lord4    #cj3jjb3jjd ,thus  
saith the ,,lord2 ,for three            
transgressions of ,judah1 and           
for four1 ,i will not turn away the     
punishment thereof2 because             
they have despised the law of the       
,,lord1 and have not kept his           
commandments1 and their lies caused them
 to err1 after the             which    
their fathers have walked3              
#cj3jjb3jje ,but ,i will send a fire    
upon ,judah1 and it shall devour the    
palaces of ,jerusalem4    #cj3jjb3jjf   
,thus saith the ,,lord2 ,for three      
transgressions of ,israel1 and          
for four1 ,i will not turn away the     
punishment thereof2 because             
they sold the righteous for silver1 and 
the poor for a pair of                  
shoes2    #cj3jjb3jjg ,that pant after  
the dust of the earth on the head of the
 poor1             and turn aside the   
way of the meek3 and a man and his      
father             will go in unto the  

same maid1 to profane my holy name3     
#cj3jjb3jjh ,and they lay themselves    
down upon clothes laid to pledge by     
every altar1 and they drink the wine of 
the condemned in the             house  
of their god4    #cj3jjb3jji ,yet       
destroyed ,i the ,amorite before them1  
whose height was like             the   
height of the cedars1 and he was strong 
as the oaks2 yet ,i                     
destroyed his fruit from above1 and his 
roots from beneath4    #cj3jjb3jaj ,also
 ,i brought you up from the land of     
,egypt1 and led you             forty   
years through the wilderness1 to possess
 the land of the             ,amorite4  
#cj3jjb3jaa ,and ,i raised up of your   
sons for prophets1 and of your young    
men for ,nazarites4 ,is it not even     
thus1 ,o ye children of                 
,israel8 saith the ,,lord4              
#cj3jjb3jab ,but ye gave the ,nazarites 
wine to drink2 and commanded the        
prophets1 saying1 ,prophesy not4        
#cj3jjb3jac ,behold1 ,i am pressed under

 you1 as a cart is pressed that is      
full of sheaves4    #cj3jjb3jad         
,therefore the flight shall perish from 
the swift1 and the             strong   
shall not strengthen his force1 neither 
shall the             mighty deliver    
himself3    #cj3jjb3jae ,neither shall  
he stand that handleth the bow2 and he  
that is             swift of foot shall 
not deliver himself3 neither shall he   
that             rideth the horse       
deliver himself4    #cj3jjb3jaf ,and he 
that is courageous among the mighty     
shall flee away             naked in    
that day1 saith the ,,lord4             
#cj3jjc3jja ,hear this word that the    
,,lord hath spoken against you1 ,o      
children of ,israel1 against the whole  
family which ,i brought             up  
from the land of ,egypt1 saying1        
#cj3jjc3jjb ,you only have ,i known of  
all the families of the earth3          
therefore ,i will punish you for all    
your iniquities4    #cj3jjc3jjc ,can two
 walk together1 except they be agreed8  

#cj3jjc3jjd ,will a lion roar in the    
forest1 when he hath no prey8 will a    
young lion cry out of his den1 if he    
have taken nothing8    #cj3jjc3jje ,can 
a bird fall in a snare upon the earth1  
where no gin is for             him8    
shall one take up a snare from the      
earth1 and have taken                   
nothing at all8    #cj3jjc3jjf ,shall a 
trumpet be blown in the city1 and the   
people not be             afraid8 shall 
there be evil in a city1 and the ,,lord 
hath not             done it8           
#cj3jjc3jjg ,surely the ,lord ,,god will
 do nothing1 but he revealeth his       
secret unto his servants the prophets4  
#cj3jjc3jjh ,the lion hath roared1 who  
will not fear8 the ,lord ,,god hath     
spoken1 who can but prophesy8           
#cj3jjc3jji ,publish in the palaces at  
,ashdod1 and in the palaces in the      
land of ,egypt1 and say1 ,assemble      
yourselves upon the mountains           
of ,samaria1 and behold the great       
tumults in the midst thereof1           

and the oppressed in the midst thereof4 
#cj3jjc3jaj ,for they know not to do    
right1 saith the ,,lord1 who store up   
violence and robbery in their palaces4  
#cj3jjc3jaa ,therefore thus saith the   
,lord ,,god2 ,an adversary there shall  
be             even round about the     
land2 and he shall bring down thy       
strength from thee1 and thy palaces     
shall be spoiled4    #cj3jjc3jab ,thus  
saith the ,,lord2 ,as the shepherd      
taketh out of the mouth             of  
the lion two legs1 or a piece of an ear2
 so shall the             children of   
,israel be taken out that dwell in      
,samaria in the             corner of a 
bed1 and in ,damascus in a couch4       
#cj3jjc3jac ,hear ye1 and testify in the
 house of ,jacob1 saith the ,lord       
,,god1 the ,god of hosts1    #cj3jjc3jad
 ,that in the day that ,i shall visit   
the transgressions of                   
,israel upon him ,i will also visit the 
altars of ,bethel3 and             the  
horns of the altar shall be cut off1 and

 fall to the             ground4        
#cj3jjc3jae ,and ,i will smite the      
winter house with the summer house2 and 
the houses of ivory shall perish1 and   
the great houses shall             have 
an end1 saith the ,,lord4    #cj3jjd3jja
 ,hear this word1 ye kine of ,bashan1   
that are in the mountain of             
,samaria1 which oppress the poor1 which 
crush the needy1 which             say  
to their masters1 ,bring1 and let us    
drink4    #cj3jjd3jjb ,the ,lord ,,god  
hath sworn by his holiness1 that1 lo1   
the days             shall come upon    
you1 that he will take you away with    
hooks1             and your posterity   
with fishhooks4    #cj3jjd3jjc ,and ye  
shall go out at the breaches1 every cow 
at that which             is before her2
 and ye shall cast them into the palace1

#cj3jjd3jjd ,come to ,bethel1 and       
transgress2 at ,gilgal multiply         
transgression2 and bring your sacrifices
 every morning1 and             your    

tithes after three years3    #cj3jjd3jje
 ,and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving 
with leaven1 and             proclaim   
and publish the free offerings3 for this
 liketh you1             ,o ye children 
of ,israel1 saith the ,lord ,,god4      
#cj3jjd3jjf ,and ,i also have given you 
cleanness of teeth in all your          
cities1 and want of bread in all your   
places3 yet have ye not                 
returned unto me1 saith the ,,lord4     
#cj3jjd3jjg ,and also ,i have withholden
 the rain from you1 when there were     
yet three months to the harvest3 and ,i 
caused it to rain upon             one  
city1 and caused it not to rain upon    
another city3 one             piece was 
rained upon1 and the piece whereupon it 
rained not             withered4        
#cj3jjd3jjh ,so two or three cities     
wandered unto one city1 to drink water2 
but they were not satisfied3 yet have ye
 not returned unto me1             saith
 the ,,lord4    #cj3jjd3jji ,i have     
smitten you with blasting and mildew3   

when your gardens             and your  
vineyards and your fig trees and your   
olive trees             increased1 the  
palmerworm devoured them3 yet have ye   
not             returned unto me1 saith 
the ,,lord4    #cj3jjd3jaj ,i have sent 
among you the pestilence after the      
manner of             ,egypt3 your young
 men have ,i slain with the sword1 and  
have             taken away your horses2
 and ,i have made the stink of your     
camps to come up unto your nostrils3 yet
 have ye not returned             unto  
me1 saith the ,,lord4    #cj3jjd3jaa ,i 
have overthrown some of you1 as ,god    
overthrew ,sodom and                    
,gomorrah1 and ye were as a firebrand   
plucked out of the             burning3 
yet have ye not returned unto me1 saith 
the ,,lord4    #cj3jjd3jab ,therefore   
thus will ,i do unto thee1 ,o ,israel3  
and because ,i             will do this 
unto thee1 prepare to meet thy ,god1 ,o 
,israel4    #cj3jjd3jac ,for1 lo1 he    
that formeth the mountains1 and createth

 the wind1             and declareth    
unto man what is his thought1 that      
maketh the             morning darkness1
 and treadeth upon the high places of   
the             earth1 ,the ,,lord1 ,the
 ,god of hosts1 is his name4            
#cj3jje3jja ,hear ye this word which ,i 
take up against you1 even a             
lamentation1 ,o house of ,israel4       
#cj3jje3jjb ,the virgin of ,israel is   
fallen2 she shall no more rise3 she is  
forsaken upon her land2 there is none to
 raise her up4    #cj3jje3jjc ,for thus 
saith the ,lord ,,god2 ,the city that   
went out by a             thousand shall
 leave an hundred1 and that which went  
forth by             an hundred shall   
leave ten1 to the house of ,israel4     
#cj3jje3jjd ,for thus saith the ,,lord  
unto the house of ,israel1 ,seek ye me1 
and ye shall live3    #cj3jje3jje ,but  
seek not ,bethel1 nor enter into        
,gilgal1 and pass not to                
,beersheba3 for ,gilgal shall surely go 
into captivity1 and             ,bethel

,seek the ,,lord1 and ye shall live2    
lest he break out like fire             
in the house of ,joseph1 and devour it1 
and there be none to             quench 
it in ,bethel4    #cj3jje3jjg ,ye who   
turn judgment to wormwood1 and leave off
 righteousness             in the earth1
    #cj3jje3jjh ,seek him that maketh   
the seven stars and ,orion1 and turneth 
the shadow of death into the morning1   
and maketh the day dark             with
 night3 that calleth for the waters of  
the sea1 and             poureth them   
out upon the face of the earth3 ,the    
,,lord is his             name3         
#cj3jje3jji ,that strengtheneth the     
spoiled against the strong1 so that the

    #cj3jje3jaj ,they hate him that     
rebuketh in the gate1 and they abhor him
             that speaketh uprightly4   
#cj3jje3jaa ,forasmuch therefore as your
 treading is upon the poor1 and ye      
take from him burdens of wheat3 ye have 

built houses of hewn             stone1 
but ye shall not dwell in them2 ye have 
planted             pleasant vineyards1

they afflict the just1 they take a      
bribe1 and they turn aside              
the poor in the gate from their right4  
#cj3jje3jac ,therefore the prudent shall
 keep silence in that time2 for it      
is an evil time4    #cj3jje3jad ,seek   
good1 and not evil1 that ye may live3   
and so the ,,lord1             the ,god

spoken4    #cj3jje3jae ,hate the evil1

 be that the ,,lord ,god of hosts will  
be             gracious unto the remnant

the ,,lord1 the ,god of hosts1 the

what end is             it for you8 the

away from me the noise of thy songs2 for

righteousness as a             mighty   
stream4    #cj3jje3jbe ,have ye offered 
unto me sacrifices and offerings in the 
wilderness forty years1 ,o house of

borne the tabernacle of your ,moloch and

star of your god1 which ye made to      
yourselves4    #cj3jje3jbg ,therefore

 captive with the first that go         
captive1 and the banquet of them that   
stretched themselves             shall  
be removed4    #cj3jjf3jjh ,the ,lord   
,,god hath sworn by himself1 saith the  
,,lord the ,god of             hosts1 ,i

 abhor the excellency of ,jacob1 and    
hate his palaces3             therefore 
will ,i deliver up the city with all    
that is therein4    #cj3jjf3jji ,and it 
shall come to pass1 if there remain ten 
men in one             house1 that they 
shall die4    #cj3jjf3jaj ,and a man's  
uncle shall take him up1 and he that    
burneth him1             to bring out   
the bones out of the house1 and shall   
say unto             him that is by the 
sides of the house1 ,is there yet any   
with             thee8 and he shall say1
 ,no4 ,then shall he say1 ,hold thy     
tongue3 for we may not make mention of  
the name of the ,,lord4    #cj3jjf3jaa  
,for1 behold1 the ,,lord commandeth1 and
 he will smite the great                
house with breaches1 and the little     
house with clefts4    #cj3jjf3jab ,shall
 horses run upon the rock8 will one plow
 there with oxen8             for ye    
have turned judgment into gall1 and the 
fruit of             righteousness into 
hemlock3    #cj3jjf3jac ,ye which       

rejoice in a thing of nought1 which say1
 ,have we not             taken to us   
horns by our own strength8              
#cj3jjf3jad ,but1 behold1 ,i will raise 
up against you a nation1 ,o house of    
,israel1 saith the ,,lord the ,god of   
hosts2 and they shall                   
afflict you from the entering in of     
,hemath unto the river of               
the wilderness4    #cj3jjg3jja ,thus    
hath the ,lord ,,god shewed unto me2    
and1 behold1 he formed                  
grasshoppers in the beginning of the    
shooting up of the latter               
growth2 and1 lo1 it was the latter      
growth after the king's                 
mowings4    #cj3jjg3jjb ,and it came to 
pass1 that when they had made an end of 
eating             the grass of the     
land1 then ,i said1 ,o ,lord ,,god1     
forgive1 ,i             beseech thee3 by
 whom shall ,jacob arise8 for he is     
small4    #cj3jjg3jjc ,the ,,lord       
repented for this3 ,it shall not be1    
saith the ,,lord4    #cj3jjg3jjd ,thus  

hath the ,lord ,,god shewed unto me3    
and1 behold1 the ,lord             ,,god
 called to contend by fire1 and it      
devoured the great deep1             and
 did eat up a part4    #cj3jjg3jje ,then
 said ,i1 ,o ,lord ,,god1 cease1 ,i     
beseech thee3 by whom shall             
,jacob arise8 for he is small4          
#cj3jjg3jjf ,the ,,lord repented for    
this3 ,this also shall not be1 saith the
             ,lord ,,god4    #cj3jjg3jjg
 ,thus he shewed me3 and1 behold1 the   
,,lord stood upon a wall                
made by a plumbline1 with a plumbline in
 his hand4    #cj3jjg3jjh ,and the      
,,lord said unto me1 ,amos1 what seest  
thou8 ,and ,i said1             ,a      
plumbline4 ,then said the ,,lord1       
,behold1 ,i will set a                  
plumbline in the midst of my people     
,israel3 ,i will not again              
pass by them any more3    #cj3jjg3jji   
,and the high places of ,isaac shall be 
desolate1 and the                       
sanctuaries of ,israel shall be laid    

waste2 and ,i will rise                 
against the house of ,jeroboam with the 
sword4    #cj3jjg3jaj ,then ,amaziah the
 priest of ,bethel sent to ,jeroboam    
king of             ,israel1 saying1    
,amos hath conspired against thee in the
 midst             of the house of      
,israel3 the land is not able to bear   
all his             words4              
#cj3jjg3jaa ,for thus ,amos saith1      
,jeroboam shall die by the sword1 and   
,israel shall surely be led away captive
 out of their own land4    #cj3jjg3jab  
,also ,amaziah said unto ,amos1 ,o thou 
seer1 go1 flee thee away                
into the land of ,judah1 and there eat  
bread1 and prophesy             there3  
#cj3jjg3jac ,but prophesy not again any 
more at ,bethel3 for it is the          
king's chapel1 and it is the king's     
court4    #cj3jjg3jad ,then answered    
,amos1 and said to ,amaziah1 ,i was no  
prophet1             neither was ,i a   
prophet's son2 but ,i was an herdman1   
and a             gatherer of sycomore  

fruit3    #cj3jjg3jae ,and the ,,lord   
took me as ,i followed the flock1 and   
the ,,lord             said unto me1    
,go1 prophesy unto my people ,israel4   
#cj3jjg3jaf ,now therefore hear thou the
 word of the ,,lord3 ,thou sayest1      
,prophesy not against ,israel1 and drop 
not thy word against the                
house of ,isaac4    #cj3jjg3jag         
,therefore thus saith the ,,lord2 ,thy  
wife shall be an harlot in              
the city1 and thy sons and thy daughters
 shall fall by the             sword1   
and thy land shall be divided by line2  
and thou shalt             die in a     
polluted land3 and ,israel shall surely 
go into             captivity forth of  
his land4    #cj3jjh3jja ,thus hath the 
,lord ,,god shewed unto me3 and behold a
 basket of             summer fruit4    
#cj3jjh3jjb ,and he said1 ,amos1 what   
seest thou8 ,and ,i said1 ,a basket of  
summer fruit4 ,then said the ,,lord unto
 me1 ,the end is come upon              
my people of ,israel2 ,i will not again 

pass by them any more4    #cj3jjh3jjc   
,and the songs of the temple shall be   
howlings in that day1             saith 
the ,lord ,,god3 there shall be many    
dead bodies in every             place2 
they shall cast them forth with silence4
    #cj3jjh3jjd ,hear this1 ,o ye that  
swallow up the needy1 even to make the  
poor of the land to fail1    #cj3jjh3jje
 ,saying1 ,when will the new moon be    
gone1 that we may sell corn8            
and the sabbath1 that we may set forth  
wheat1 making the ephah                 
small1 and the shekel great1 and        
falsifying the balances by              
deceit8    #cj3jjh3jjf ,that we may buy 
the poor for silver1 and the needy for a
 pair             of shoes2 yea1 and    
sell the refuse of the wheat8           
#cj3jjh3jjg ,the ,,lord hath sworn by   
the excellency of ,jacob1 ,surely ,i    
will             never forget any of    
their works4    #cj3jjh3jjh ,shall not  
the land tremble for this1 and every one
 mourn that             dwelleth        

therein8 and it shall rise up wholly as 
a flood2 and             it shall be    
cast out and drowned1 as by the flood of
 ,egypt4    #cj3jjh3jji ,and it shall   
come to pass in that day1 saith the     
,lord ,,god1             that ,i will   
cause the sun to go down at noon1 and ,i
 will             darken the earth in   
the clear day3    #cj3jjh3jaj ,and ,i   
will turn your feasts into mourning1 and
 all your songs             into        
lamentation2 and ,i will bring up       
sackcloth upon all             loins1   
and baldness upon every head2 and ,i    
will make it as the             mourning
 of an only son1 and the end thereof as 
a bitter day4    #cj3jjh3jaa ,behold1   
the days come1 saith the ,lord ,,god1   
that ,i will send a             famine  
in the land1 not a famine of bread1 nor 
a thirst for             water1 but of  
hearing the words of the ,,lord3        
#cj3jjh3jab ,and they shall wander from 
sea to sea1 and from the north even     
to the east1 they shall run to and fro  

to seek the word of the                 
,,lord1 and shall not find it4          
#cj3jjh3jac ,in that day shall the fair 
virgins and young men faint for         
thirst4    #cj3jjh3jad ,they that swear 
by the sin of ,samaria1 and say1 ,thy   
god1 ,o             ,dan1 liveth2 and1  
,the manner of ,beersheba liveth2 even  
they             shall fall1 and never  
rise up again4    #cj3jji3jja ,i saw the
 ,,lord standing upon the altar3 and he 
said1 ,smite the             lintel of  
the door1 that the posts may shake3 and 
cut them in             the head1 all of
 them2 and ,i will slay the last of them
 with             the sword3 he that    
fleeth of them shall not flee away1 and 
he             that escapeth of them    
shall not be delivered4    #cj3jji3jjb  
,though they dig into hell1 thence shall
 mine hand take them2             though
 they climb up to heaven1 thence will ,i
 bring them down3    #cj3jji3jjc ,and   
though they hide themselves in the top  
of ,carmel1 ,i will             search  

and take them out thence2 and though    
they be hid from             my sight in
 the bottom of the sea1 thence will ,i  
command the             serpent1 and he 
shall bite them3    #cj3jji3jjd ,and

their enemies1 thence             will
