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

A +preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment +and editing by those who wish to do so. + +Most people start at our Web sites at: +https://gutenberg.org or +http://promo.net/pg + +These Web sites include award-winning information about Project +Gutenberg, including how to donate, how to help produce our new +eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter (free!). + + +Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement +can get to them as follows, and just download by date.

The +time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours +to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright +searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. Our +projected audience is one hundred million readers. If the value +per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 +million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text +files per month: 1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+ +We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002 +If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total +will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end. + +The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks! +This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, +which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users. + +Here is the briefest record of our progress (* means estimated): + +eBooks Year Month + + 1 1971 July + 10 1991 January + 100 1994 January + 1000 1997 August + 1500 1998 October + 2000 1999 December + 2500 2000 December + 3000 2001 November + 4000 2001 October/November + 6000 2002 December* + 9000 2003 November* +10000 2004 January* + + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation has been created +to secure a future for Project Gutenberg into the next millennium. + +We need your donations more than ever! + +As of February, 2002, contributions are being solicited from people +and organizations in: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Connecticut, +Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, +Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, +Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New +Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, +Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South +Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West +Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. + +We have filed in all 50 states now, but these are the only ones +that have responded. + +As the requirements for other states are met, additions to this list +will be made and fund raising will begin in the additional states. +Please feel free to ask to check the status of your state. + +In answer to various questions we have received on this: + +We are constantly working on finishing the paperwork to legally +request donations in all 50 states.
