Book 17 : NEVIIM - TREISAR - AMOS - Chapter 004
04:001
Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain
of Samaria, that oppress the poor, that crush the needy, that say unto their
lords: 'Bring, that we may feast.
04:002
The L-rd GOD hath sworn by His holiness: Lo, surely the
days shall come upon you, that ye shall be taken away with hooks, and your
residue with fish-hooks
04:003
And ye shall go out at the breaches, every one straight
before her; and ye shall be cast into Harmon, saith HaShem
04:004
Come to Beth-el, and transgress, to Gilgal, and multiply
transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your tithes after
three days
04:005
And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is
leavened, and proclaim freewill-offerings and publish them; for so ye love to
do, O ye children of Israel, saith the L-rd GOD
04:006
And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your
cities, and want of bread in all your places; yet have ye not returned unto Me,
saith HaShem
04:007
And I also have withholden the rain from you, when there
were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain upon one city, and
caused it not to rain upon another city; one piece was rained upon, and the
piece whereupon it rained not withered
04:008
So two or three cities wandered unto one city to drink
water, and were not satisfied; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith HaShem
04:009
I have smitten you with blasting and mildew; the multitude
of your gardens and your vineyards and your fig-trees and your olive-trees hath
the palmer-worm devoured; yet have ye not returned unto Me, saith HaShem
04:010
I have sent among you the pestilence in the way of Egypt;
your young men have I slain with the sword, and have carried away your horses;
and I have made the stench of your camp to come up even into your nostrils; yet
have ye not returned unto Me, saith HaShem
04:011
I have overthrown some of you, as G-d overthrew Sodom and
Gomorrah, and ye were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet have ye not
returned unto Me, saith HaShem
04:012
Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel; because I
will do this unto thee, prepare to meet thy G-d, O Israel
04:013
For, lo, He that formeth the mountains, and createth the
wind, and declareth unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning
darkness, and treadeth upon the high places of the earth; HaShem, the G-d of
hosts, is His name
