UST AMOS Chapter 1

◄ AMOS 1 ► ║ ═ ©

1 This is the message that Yahweh gave to me, Amos. I am a man who raises sheep, and I am from the village of Tekoa. Yahweh showed me in a vision this message about Israel during the time when Uzziah was the king of Judah and Jeroboam, the son of Jehoash, was the king of Israel. This was two years before the great earthquake.

2 This is the message:

Yahweh is speaking powerfully, like the roar of a lion,

from Zion, in the middle of Jerusalem.

He is causing the pastures where shepherds take care of their sheep to dry up,

and even the forests on the top of Mount Carmel will wither.

3 This is what Yahweh says:

“The people of Damascus have sinned again and again,

so I will certainly punish them and will not change my mind about it,

because they cruelly attacked the people of the region of Gilead,

destroying them as people crush grain with iron-toothed threshing tools.

4 So I will send fire to destroy that place, including the palace that their king Hazael built,

and it will burn down the fortresses where his son, their king Ben-Hadad, has his armies.

5 I will smash the gate bars that protect the city of Damascus,

and I will get rid of the one who sits on the throne in the Valley of Aven

and the king who rules in the region of Beth Eden.

The people of Aram will become captives and will go to the land of Kir,”

says Yahweh.

6 This is what Yahweh says:

“The people of the city of Gaza have sinned again and again,

so I will certainly punish them and will not change my mind about it,

because they captured whole people groups and took them away

in order to sell them as slaves to the people of Edom.

7 So I will send fire to destroy the walls of Gaza,

and it will burn down the fortresses of that city.

8 I will get rid of the one who sits on the throne in the city of Ashdod

and the king who rules in the city of Ashkelon.

I will also powerfully punish the people of the city of Ekron,

and all the people of the region of Philistia who are still alive will die,”

says my Lord Yahweh.

9 This is what Yahweh says:

“The people of the city of Tyre have sinned again and again,

so I will certainly punish them and will not change my mind about it,

because they also captured whole people groups and took them away to Edom,

and they ignored the treaty that they had made with another nation.

10 So I will send fire to destroy the walls of Tyre,

and it will burn down the fortresses of that city.”

11 This is what Yahweh says:

“The people of Edom have sinned again and again,

so I will certainly punish them and will not change my mind about it,

because they attacked the people of Israel, who descended from Esau’s brother Jacob, and killed them with swords.

They did not act mercifully toward them at all.

They were constantly wrathful to the people of Israel,

and they kept encouraging each other to stay angry with the people of Israel always.

12 So I will send fire to destroy the region of Teman,

and it will burn down the fortresses of the city of Bozrah.”

13 This is what Yahweh says:

“The people of Ammon have sinned again and again,

so I will certainly punish them and will not change my mind about it,

because their soldiers even ripped open the pregnant women of the region of Gilead

when they attacked it in order to enlarge their own territory.

14 So I will start a fire that will destroy the walls of the city of Rabbah,

and it will burn down the fortresses of that city.

During that battle, the enemies will shout loudly.

They will come as quickly and violently as a strong windstorm.

15 Then the king of Ammon will become a captive and will go to another country,

and his officials will go with him,”

says Yahweh.
