and the habitations of the shepherds shall<br> + mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither.</p> + +<p>30:001:003 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Damascus, and<br> + for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because<br> + they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron:</p> + +<p>30:001:004 But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall<br> + devour the palaces of Benhadad.</p> + +<p>30:001:005 I will break also the bar of Damascus, and cut off the<br> + inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holdeth the<br> + sceptre from the house of Eden: and the people of Syria shall<br> + go into captivity unto Kir, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:001:006 Thus saith the LORD;

For three transgressions of Moab, and for<br> + four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he<br> + burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime:</p> + +<p>30:002:002 But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the<br> + palaces of Kirioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with<br> + shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:</p> + +<p>30:002:003 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will<br> + slay all the princes thereof with him, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:002:004 Thus saith the LORD;

yet I<br> + destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.</p> + +<p>30:002:010 Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you<br> + forty years through the wilderness, to possess the land of the<br> + Amorite.</p> + +<p>30:002:011 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young<br> + men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, O ye children of<br> + Israel? saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:002:012 But ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the<br> + prophets, saying, Prophesy not.</p> + +<p>30:002:013 Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart is pressed that is<br> + full of sheaves.</p> + +<p>30:002:014 Therefore the flight shall perish from the swift, and the<br> + strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the<br> + mighty deliver himself:</p> + +<p>30:002:015 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow;

An adversary there shall be<br> + even round about the land; and he shall bring down thy<br> + strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.</p> + +<p>30:003:012 Thus saith the LORD; As the shepherd taketh out of the mouth<br> + of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear; so shall the<br> + children of Israel be taken out that dwell in Samaria in the<br> + corner of a bed, and in Damascus in a couch.</p> + +<p>30:003:013 Hear ye, and testify in the house of Jacob, saith the Lord<br> + GOD, the God of hosts,</p> + +<p>30:003:014 That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of<br> + Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and<br> + the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the<br> + ground.</p> + +<p>30:003:015 And I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and<br> + the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall<br> + have an end, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:001 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of<br> + Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which<br> + say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.</p> + +<p>30:004:002 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days<br> + shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks,<br> + and your posterity with fishhooks.</p> + +<p>30:004:003 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which<br> + is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith<br> + the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:004 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply<br> + transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and<br> + your tithes after three years:</p> + +<p>30:004:005 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and<br> + proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this liketh you,<br> + O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.</p> + +<p>30:004:006 And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your<br> + cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not<br> + returned unto me, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:007 And also I have withholden the rain from you, when there were<br> + yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon<br> + one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one<br> + piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not<br> + withered.</p> + +<p>30:004:008 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water;<br> + but they were not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me,<br> + saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:009 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens<br> + and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees<br> + increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not<br> + returned unto me, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:010 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of<br> + Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have<br> + taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your<br> + camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned<br> + unto me, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:011 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and<br> + Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out of the<br> + burning: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:004:012 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I<br> + will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel.</p> + +<p>30:004:013 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and createth the wind,<br> + and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the<br> + morning darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the<br> + earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.</p> + +<p>30:005:001 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a<br> + lamentation, O house of Israel.</p> + +<p>30:005:002 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is<br> + forsaken upon her land; there is none to raise her up.</p> + +<p>30:005:003 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a<br> + thousand shall leave an hundred, and that which went forth by<br> + an hundred shall leave ten, to the house of Israel.</p> + +<p>30:005:004 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me,<br> + and ye shall live:</p> + +<p>30:005:005 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to<br> + Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and<br> + Bethel shall come to nought.</p> + +<p>30:005:006 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire<br> + in the house of Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to<br> + quench it in Bethel.</p> + +<p>30:005:007 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness<br> + in the earth,</p> + +<p>30:005:008 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth<br> + the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark<br> + with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and<br> + poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his<br> + name:</p> + +<p>30:005:009 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the<br> + spoiled shall come against the fortress.</p> + +<p>30:005:010 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him<br> + that speaketh uprightly.</p> + +<p>30:005:011 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye<br> + take from him burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn<br> + stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted<br> + pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.</p> + +<p>30:005:012 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins:<br> + they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside<br> + the poor in the gate from their right.</p> + +<p>30:005:013 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it<br> + is an evil time.</p> + +<p>30:005:014 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD,<br> + the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.</p> + +<p>30:005:015 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in<br> + the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be<br> + gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.</p> + +<p>30:005:016 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD, saith thus;<br> + Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the<br> + highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to<br> + mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing.</p> + +<p>30:005:017 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through<br> + thee, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:005:018 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is<br> + it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.</p> + +<p>30:005:019 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went<br> + into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent<br> + bit him.</p> + +<p>30:005:020 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even<br> + very dark, and no brightness in it?</p> + +<p>30:005:021 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in<br> + your solemn assemblies.</p> + +<p>30:005:022 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I<br> + will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace<br> + offerings of your fat beasts.</p> + +<p>30:005:023 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not<br> + hear the melody of thy viols.</p> + +<p>30:005:024 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a<br> + mighty stream.</p> + +<p>30:005:025 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the<br> + wilderness forty years, O house of Israel?</p> + +<p>30:005:026 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your<br> + images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves.</p> + +<p>30:005:027 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond<br> + Damascus, saith the LORD, whose name is The God of hosts.</p> + +<p>30:006:001 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the<br> + mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to<br> + whom the house of Israel came!</p> + +<p>30:006:002 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath<br> + the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they<br> + better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your<br> + border?</p> + +<p>30:006:003 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of<br> + violence to come near;</p> + +<p>30:006:004 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their<br> + couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves<br> + out of the midst of the stall;</p> + +<p>30:006:005 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves<br> + instruments of musick, like David;</p> + +<p>30:006:006 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief<br> + ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of<br> + Joseph.</p> + +<p>30:006:007 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go<br> + captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves<br> + shall be removed.</p> + +<p>30:006:008 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of<br> + hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces:<br> + therefore will I deliver up the city with all that is therein.</p> + +<p>30:006:009 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one<br> + house, that they shall die.</p> + +<p>30:006:010 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him,<br> + to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say unto<br> + him that is by the sides of the house, Is there yet any with<br> + thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy<br> + tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:006:011 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great<br> + house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.</p> + +<p>30:006:012 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen?<br> + for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of<br> + righteousness into hemlock:</p> + +<p>30:006:013 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not<br> + taken to us horns by our own strength?</p> + +<p>30:006:014 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of<br> + Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall<br> + afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of<br> + the wilderness.</p> + +<p>30:007:001 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed<br> + grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter<br> + growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's<br> + mowings.</p> + +<p>30:007:002 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating<br> + the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I<br> + beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.</p> + +<p>30:007:003 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.</p> + +<p>30:007:004 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord<br> + GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep,<br> + and did eat up a part.</p> + +<p>30:007:005 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall<br> + Jacob arise? for he is small.</p> + +<p>30:007:006 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the<br> + Lord GOD.</p> + +<p>30:007:007 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall<br> + made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.</p> + +<p>30:007:008 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said,<br> + A plumbline. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a<br> + plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again<br> + pass by them any more:</p> + +<p>30:007:009 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the<br> + sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise<br> + against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.</p> + +<p>30:007:010 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of<br> + Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst<br> + of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his<br> + words.</p> + +<p>30:007:011 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and<br> + Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.</p> + +<p>30:007:012 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away<br> + into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy<br> + there:</p> + +<p>30:007:013 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the<br> + king's chapel, and it is the king's court.</p> + +<p>30:007:014 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet,<br> + neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a<br> + gatherer of sycomore fruit:</p> + +<p>30:007:015 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD<br> + said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.</p> + +<p>30:007:016 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest,<br> + Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the<br> + house of Isaac.</p> + +<p>30:007:017 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in<br> + the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the<br> + sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt<br> + die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into<br> + captivity forth of his land.</p> + +<p>30:008:001 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of<br> + summer fruit.</p> + +<p>30:008:002 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of<br> + summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon<br> + my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.</p> + +<p>30:008:003 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day,<br> + saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every<br> + place; they shall cast them forth with silence.</p> + +<p>30:008:004 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the<br> + poor of the land to fail,</p> + +<p>30:008:005 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn?<br> + and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah<br> + small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by<br> + deceit?</p> + +<p>30:008:006 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair<br> + of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?</p> + +<p>30:008:007 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will<br> + never forget any of their works.</p> + +<p>30:008:008 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that<br> + dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and<br> + it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.</p> + +<p>30:008:009 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD,<br> + that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will<br> + darken the earth in the clear day:</p> + +<p>30:008:010 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs<br> + into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all<br> + loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the<br> + mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.</p> + +<p>30:008:011 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a<br> + famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for<br> + water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:</p> + +<p>30:008:012 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even<br> + to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the<br> + LORD, and shall not find it.</p> + +<p>30:008:013 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for<br> + thirst.</p> + +<p>30:008:014 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O<br> + Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they<br> + shall fall, and never rise up again.</p> + +<p>30:009:001 I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the<br> + lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in<br> + the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with<br> + the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he<br> + that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.</p> + +<p>30:009:002 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them;<br> + though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:</p> + +<p>30:009:003 And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will<br> + search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from<br> + my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the<br> + serpent, and he shall bite them:</p> + +<p>30:009:004 And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence<br> + will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will<br> + set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.</p> + +<p>30:009:005 And the Lord GOD of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it<br> + shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it<br> + shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as by<br> + the flood of Egypt.</p> + +<p>30:009:006 It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven, and hath<br> + founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters<br> + of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth:<br> + The LORD is his name.</p> + +<p>30:009:007 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children<br> + of Israel? saith the LORD.
