1 As palavras de Amós, que era entre os pastores de Técoa, as quais viu no tocante a Israel, nos dias de Uzias, rei de Judá, e nos dias de Jeroboão, filho de Joás, rei de Israel, dois anos antes do terremoto.

2 Ele disse: Jeová rugirá de Sião, e de Jerusalém fará ouvir a sua voz: as pastagens dos pastores prantearão, e o cume do Carmelo secará.

3 Assim diz Jeová: Por causa de três transgressões de Damasco, sim de quatro, não desviarei o seu castigo; porque trilharam a Gileade com trilhos de ferro.

4 Porém meterei na casa de Hazael um fogo, que devorará os palácios de Ben-Hadade.

5 Quebrarei o ferrolho de Damasco, e exterminarei do vale de Áven o morador, e da casa de Éden aquele que tem o cetro; e o povo da Síria será levado em cativeiro a Quir, diz Jeová.

6 Assim diz Jeová: Por causa de três transgressões de Gaza, sim de quatro, não desviarei o seu castigo; porque levaram cativo todo o povo, para o entregarem a Edom.

7 Porém meterei aos muros de Gaza um fogo, que devorará os palácios dela;

8 de Asdode exterminarei o morador, e de Ascalom aquele que tem o cetro; tornarei a minha mão contra Ecrom, e perecerá o resto dos filisteus, diz Jeová.

9 Assim diz Jeová: Por causa de três transgressões de Tiro, sim de quatro, não desviarei o seu castigo, porque entregaram o povo todo a Edom, e não se lembraram da aliança de irmãos.

10 Porém meterei aos muros de Tiro um fogo que lhe devorará os palácios.

11 Assim diz Jeová: Por causa de três transgressões de Edom, sim de quatro, não desviarei o seu castigo; porque perseguiu a seu irmão com a espada, e pôs de lado toda a compaixão, e a sua ira despedaçou perpetuamente, e conservou a sua indignação para sempre.

12 Porém meterei a Temã um fogo que devorará os palácios de Bozra.

13 Assim diz Jeová: Por causa de três transgressões dos filhos de Amom, sim de quatro, não desviarei o seu castigo; porque fenderam o ventre às grávidas de Gileade, para dilatarem os seus termos.

14 Porém meterei aos muros de Rabá um fogo que lhe devorará os palácios, com alarido no dia da batalha, com tempestade no dia do turbilhão.

15 O seu rei irá para o cativeiro, ele e seus príncipes juntamente, diz Jeová.

1 The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about 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 earth-shock.

2 And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.

3 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.

4 And I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.

5 And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.

6 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.

7 And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:

8 Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.

9 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

10 And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.

11 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.

12 And I will send a fire on Teman, burning up the great houses of Bozrah.

13 These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.

14 And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:

15 And their king will be made prisoner, he and his captains together, says the Lord.
