Amos 4,1-13
Chapter IIII.
1 He reproueth Israel, for oppression. 4 for idolatry, 6 and for their incorrigiblenesse.
[Israels obstinacie.]
1 Heare this word yea kine of Bashan, that are in the mountaine of Samaria, which oppresse the poore, which crush the needy, which say to their masters; Bring, and let vs drinke.
2 The Lord God hath sworne by his holinesse, that loe, the dayes shall come vpon you, that he will take you away with hookes, and your posteritie with fish-hookes.
3 And yee shall goe out at the breaches, euery Cow at that which is before her, and [ Or, yee shall cast away the things of the palace.] yee shall cast them into the palace, saith the Lord.
4 Come to Bethel and transgresse, at Gilgal multiplie transgression; and bring your sacrifices euery morning, and your tithes after [ Hebrew: three yeeres of dayes.] three yeeres.
5 And [ Hebrew: offer by burning.] offer a sacrifice of thanksgiuing with leauen, and proclaime and publish the free offrings; for [ Hebrew: so yee loue.] this liketh you, O yee children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
6 And I also haue giuen you cleannesse of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
7 And also I haue withholden the raine from you, when there were yet three moneths to the haruest, and I caused it to raine vpon one citie, and caused it not to raine vpon an other city: one piece was rained vpon, & the piece wherupon it rained not, withered.
8 So two or three cities wandered vnto one citie, to drinke water; but they were not satisfied: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
9 I haue smitten you with blasting and mildew; [ Or, the multitude of your gardens etc: did the palmer worme, etc.] when your gardens and your vineyards, and your fig trees, and your oliue trees increased, the palmer worme deuoured them: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
10 I haue sent among you the pestilence, [ Or, in the way.] after the maner of Egypt: your yongmen haue I slain with the sword, and [ Hebrew: with the captiuitie of your horses.] haue taken away your horses, & I haue made the stinke of your campes to come vp vnto your nostrils, yet haue ye not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
11 I haue ouerthrowen some of you, as God ouerthrew [ Gen_19:24 .] Sodome & Gomorrah, and yee were as a firebrand pluckt out of the burning: yet haue yee not returned vnto me, saith the Lord.
[Seeke the Lord.]
12 Therefore thus will I doe vnto thee, O Israel: and because I will doe this vnto thee, prepare to meete thy God, O Israel.
13 For loe, he that formeth the mountaines, and createth the [ Or, spirit.] wind, and declareth vnto man, what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkenesse, and treadeth vpon the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of hostes is his Name.
