CHAPTER 4
Amos 4:1
1 Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which
oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, 
and let us drink.
Amos 4:2
2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon
you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
Amos 4:3
3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her;
and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD. Amos 4:4
4 Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring
your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years: Amos 4:5
5 And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish
the free offerings: for this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the
Lord GOD.
Amos 4:6
6 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 the LORD.
Amos 4:7
7 And also I 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.
Amos 4:8
8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were
not satisfied: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. Amos 4:9
9 I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your
vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm
devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. Amos 4:10
10 I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young
men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have
made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils:  yet have ye not
returned  unto me, saith  the LORD. Amos 4:11
11 I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye
were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have ye not returned unto
me, saith the LORD.
Amos 4:12
12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do this
unto thee, prepare to meet thy God, O Israel. Amos 4:13
13 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,  The LORD,  The God  of hosts,  is his name.
CHAPTER 5
Amos 5:1
1 Hear ye this word which I take up against you, even a lamentation, O house of
Israel.
Amos 5:2
2 The virgin of Israel is fallen; she shall no more rise: she is forsaken upon
her land; there is none to raise her up. Amos 5:3
3 For thus saith the Lord GOD; The city that went out by a thousand shall leave
an hundred, and that which went forth by an hundred shall leave ten, to the
house  of Israel.
Amos 5:4
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall
live:
Amos 5:5
5 But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for
Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought. Amos
5:6
6 Seek the LORD, and ye shall live; lest he break out like fire in the house of
Joseph, and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel. Amos 5:7
7 Ye who turn judgment to wormwood, and leave off righteousness in the earth,
Amos 5:8
8 Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of
death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for
the waters of the sea, and poureth them out  upon the face  of the earth: The
LORD  is his name:
Amos 5:9
9 That strengtheneth the spoiled against the strong, so that the spoiled shall
come against the fortress.
Amos 5:10
10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh
uprightly.
Amos 5:11
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take from him
burdens of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in
them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards,  but ye shall not drink wine  of
them.
Amos 5:12
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict
the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from
their right.
Amos 5:13
13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil
time.
Amos 5:14
14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of
hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. Amos 5:15
15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may
be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Amos 5:16
16 Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be
in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they
shall call the husbandman  to mourning,  and such as are skilful  of
lamentation  to wailing.
Amos 5:17
17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith
the LORD.
Amos 5:18
18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the
day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. Amos 5:19
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the
house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit  him. Amos 5:20
20 Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark,
and no brightness in it?
Amos 5:21
21 I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn
assemblies.
Amos 5:22
22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not
accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts. Amos
5:23
23 Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the
melody of thy viols.
Amos 5:24
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Amos 5:25
25 Have ye offered unto me sacrifices and offerings in the wilderness forty
years, O house of Israel?
Amos 5:26
26 But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the
star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Amos 5:27
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, saith the
LORD, whose name is The God of hosts. CHAPTER 6
Amos 6:1
1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria,
which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
Amos 6:2
2 Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then
go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or
their border greater  than your border? Amos 6:3
3 Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come
near;
Amos 6:4
4 That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and
eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;
Amos 6:5
5 That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of
musick, like David;
Amos 6:6
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but
they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. Amos 6:7
7 Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the
banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed. Amos 6:8
8 The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor
the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces:  therefore will I deliver up 
the city  with all that is therein. Amos 6:9
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they
shall die.
Amos 6:10
10 And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring out
the bones out of the house, and shall say unto him that is by the sides of the
house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, 
Hold thy tongue:  for we may not make mention  of the name  of the LORD.
Amos 6:11
11 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with
breaches, and the little house with clefts. Amos 6:12
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have
turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock: Amos
6:13
13 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not taken to us
horns by our own strength?
Amos 6:14
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith
the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of
Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.
