The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; the Word 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 Ben-hadad.

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

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

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

So says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, yea for four, I will not turn away from it; because they have despised the Laws of Jehovah, and have not kept His commandments. And their lies after which their fathers walked led them astray.

Hear this Word that Jehovah has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

And I have also withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest. And I caused rain to fall on one city and caused it not to rain on another city; one piece was rained on, and the piece on which it did not rain dried up.

For thus says the Lord Jehovah: The city that went out by a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went out by a hundred shall have ten left in the house of Israel.

But you have carried the booth of your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.

And I will turn back the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the cities which are desolate, and they shall live in them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine. They shall also make gardens and eat their fruit.

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