The Lord says:I will not relent from punishing Damascusfor three crimes, even four,because they threshed Gilead with iron sledges.

Listen to this message that the Lord has spoken against you, Israelites, against the entire clan that I brought from the land of Egypt:

If a ram’s horn is blown in a city,aren’t people afraid?If a disaster occurs in a city,hasn’t the Lord done it?

Indeed, the Lord God does nothingwithout revealing His counselto His servants the prophets.

A lion has roared;who will not fear?The Lord God has spoken;who will not prophesy?

Therefore, the Lord God says:An enemy will surround the land;he will destroy your strongholdsand plunder your citadels.

The Lord says:As the shepherd snatches two legsor a piece of an earfrom the lion’s mouth,so the Israelites who live in Samariawill be rescuedwith only the corner of a bedor the cushion of a couch.

Listen and testify against the house of Jacob—this is the declaration of the Lord God,the God of Hosts.

The Lord God has sworn by His holiness:Look, the days are comingwhen you will be taken away with hooks,every last one of you with fishhooks.

For the Lord God says:The city that marches out a thousand strongwill have only a hundred left,and the one that marches out a hundred strongwill have only ten left in the house of Israel.

For the Lord says to the house of Israel:Seek Me and live!

Seek good and not evilso that you may live,and the Lord, the God of Hosts,will be with you,as you have claimed.

Hate evil and love good;establish justice in the gate.Perhaps the Lord, the God of Hosts, will be graciousto the remnant of Joseph.

Therefore Yahweh, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says:There will be wailing in all the public squares;they will cry out in anguish in all the streets.The farmer will be called on to mourn,and professional mourners to wail.

There will be wailing in all the vineyards,for I will pass among you.The Lord has spoken.

Woe to you who long for the Day of the Lord!What will the Day of the Lord be for you?It will be darkness and not light.

Won’t the Day of the Lordbe darkness rather than light,even gloom without any brightness in it?

The Lord God has sworn by Himself—this is the declaration of Yahweh, the God of Hosts:I loathe Jacob’s prideand hate his citadels,so I will hand over the city and everything in it.

For the Lord commands:The large house will be smashed to pieces,and the small house to rubble.

But look, I am raising up a nationagainst you, house of Israel—this is the declaration of the Lord,the God of Hosts—and they will oppress youfrom the entrance of Hamathto the Brook of the Arabah.

The Lord God showed me this: He was forming a swarm of locusts at the time the spring crop first began to sprout—after the cutting of the king’s hay.

When the locusts finished eating the vegetation of the land, I said, “Lord God, please forgive! How will Jacob survive since he is so small?”

The Lord relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” He said.

The Lord God showed me this: The Lord God was calling for a judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.

Then I said, “Lord God, please stop! How will Jacob survive since he is so small?”

The Lord relented concerning this. “This will not happen either,” said the Lord God.

He showed me this: The Lord was standing there by a vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand.

The Lord asked me, “What do you see, Amos?”I replied, “A plumb line.”Then the Lord said, “I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer spare them:

But the Lord took me from following the flock and said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to My people Israel.’”

Now hear the word of the Lord. You say:Do not prophesy against Israel;do not preach against the house of Isaac.

Therefore, this is what the Lord says:Your wife will be a prostitute in the city,your sons and daughters will fall by the sword,and your land will be divided upwith a measuring line.You yourself will die on pagan soil,and Israel will certainly go into exilefrom its homeland.

The Lord God showed me this: A basket of summer fruit.

He asked me, “What do you see, Amos?”I replied, “A basket of summer fruit.”The Lord said to me, “The end has come for My people Israel; I will no longer spare them.

In that day the temple songs will become wailing”—this is the Lord God’s declaration. “Many dead bodies, thrown everywhere! Silence!”

The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob:I will never forget all their deeds.

And in that day—this is the declaration of the Lord God—I will make the sun go down at noon;I will darken the land in the daytime.

Hear this! The days are coming—this is the declaration of the Lord God—when I will send a famine through the land:not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,but of hearing the words of the Lord.

People will stagger from sea to seaand roam from north to east,seeking the word of the Lord,but they will not find it.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and He said:Strike the capitals of the pillarsso that the thresholds shake;knock them down on the heads of all the people.Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword.None of those who flee will get away;none of the fugitives will escape.

The Lord, the God of Hosts—He touches the earth;it melts, and all who dwell in it mourn;all of it rises like the Nileand subsides like the Nile of Egypt.

Look, the eyes of the Lord Godare on the sinful kingdom,and I will destroy itfrom the face of the earth.However, I will not totally destroythe house of Jacob—this is the Lord’s declaration—
