Amo Amos, chapter Book of Amos, chapter 1
The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Yisroel in the yamim of Uziyah Melech Yehudah, and in the yamim of Yarov'am ben Yoash Melech Yisroel, two years before the earthquake.Isa 1:1; 2Ki 14:23; Zec 14:5
And he said:
Hashem roars from Tziyon,
and utters His voice from Yerushalayim;
and the pastures of the ro'im (shepherds) mourn,
and the summit of Mt Carmel withers.Jer 25:30; Jol 4:16
Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Damascus,
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they have threshed Gil'ad with threshing sledges of barzel (iron);2Sa 12:31; 2Ki 13:7; Isa 41:15
But I will send an eish onto Bais Chazael,
which shall devour the fortresses of Ben-Hadad.Jer 49:27
I will break down also the gate bar of Damascus,
and cut off the inhabitant from Bik'at-Aven,
and him that holdeth the shevet (sceptre) from Bais-Eden;
and the people of Aram shall go into golus unto Kir,
saith Hashem.Jer 49:24; Jer 49:26; 2Ki 16:9
Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Azah (Gaza),
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they carried away captive the golus shleimah (entire exiled population),
to deliver them up to Edom;2Ch 21:17
But I will send an eish on the chomah (wall) of Azah (Gaza),
which shall devour the fortresses thereof;
And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod,
and him that holdeth the shevet (sceptre) from Ashkelon,
and I will turn Mine hand against Ekron;
and the she'erit Pelishtim shall perish,
saith Adonoi Hashem.2Ch 26:6
Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Tzor,
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they delivered up the golus shleimah to Edom,
and remembered not the brit achim;Ezk 27:3
But I will send an eish on the chomah (wall) of Tzor,
which shall devour the fortresses thereof.Isa 23:1; Jer 47:4; Ezk 26:3
Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of Edom, even for arba'ah,
I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because he did pursue his brother with the cherev,
and did cast off all rachamim,
and his anger did rage perpetually,
and he kept his wrath netzach;Oba 1:10
But I will send an eish upon Teman,
which shall devour the fortresses of Botzrah.
Thus saith Hashem:
For shloshah peysha'im of the Bnei Ammon,
even for arba'ah, I will not turn away the punishment thereof;
because they have ripped open the women with child of Gil'ad,
that they might enlarge their border;Gen 19:38; Jer 49:1
But I will kindle an eish in the chomah (wall) of Rabbah,
and it shall devour the fortresses thereof,
with war cries in the yom milchamah,
with a tempest in the yom sufah (day of the storm);Jer 49:2
And their melech shall go into golus,
he and his sarim (princes) together,
saith Hashem.Jer 49:3
