King James Version

1 The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. 2 And the Lord will roar from Zion and give His voice from Jerusalem, and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will wither. 3 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn back. For they have threshed Gilead with iron sledges. 4 And I will send fire upon the house of Hazael, and it will consume the strongholds of Ben-Hadad. 5 And I will break the gate of Damascus, and I will cut off the inhabitant from the valley of Aven, and the holder of the scepter from the house of Eden, and the people of Aram will go into exile, says the Lord. 6 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they deported a complete exile to deliver it up to Edom. 7 And I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza, and it will consume her palaces. 8 And I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and I will destroy the one who holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord God. 9 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke it, because they delivered up a whole exile to Edom and did not remember the covenant of brothers. 10 And I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall consume her palaces. 11 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke it, because he pursued his brother with the sword and cast off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his fury forever. 12 And I will send fire into Teman, and it shall consume the fortresses of Bozrah. 13 Thus says the Lord: For three transgressions of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn back my wrath, because of their ripping open the pregnant women of Gilead, in order to enlarge their borders. 14 And I will set fire to the great wall, and it will consume her palaces with a shout in the day of battle, in the storm on the day of tempest. 15 And the king shall go into exile, he and his princes together, says the LORD.
