The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Benhadad.

But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces:

But I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces.

But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

Thus says the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have despised the law of the LORD, and have not kept his commandments, and their lies caused them to err, after which their fathers have walked:

That trample on the dust of the earth which is 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 maiden, to defile my holy name:

Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

And also I have withheld 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 part was rained upon, and the part upon which it rained not withered.

Hear you this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of Israel.

For thus says the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall have left a hundred, and that which went forth by a hundred shall have left ten, to the house of Israel.

But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch, and Chiun your star god, your images, which you made for yourselves.

And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.
