Thus sayeth the LORD, 'For three and four wickednesses of Gaza, I will not spare her: because they make the prisoners yet more captive, and have driven them into the land of Edom.

So their next kinfolks and the dead buriers shall take them, and carry away their bones, and say unto him that is in the innermore house, 'Is there yet any more by thee?' And he shall answer, 'They are all gone. Hold thy tongue,' shall he say. For they would not remember the name of the LORD.

And the LORD said unto me, "Amos, what seest thou?" I answered, "A mason's trowel." Then said the Lord, "Behold, I will lay the trowel among my people of Israel, and will no more oversee them:

and prophesy no more at Bethel, for it is the king's chapel, and the king's court.

And he said, "Amos, what seest thou?" I answered, "A mound with summer fruit." Then said the LORD unto me, "The end cometh upon my people of Israel, I will no more oversee them.

And I will plant them their own land, and they shall not be any more plucked out of their land which I have given them," saith the LORD thy God.
