Amos · Chapter 7
Thus hath the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo,
it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
And it came to pass,
that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Ya'aqov arise? for he
is small.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) repented for this: It shall not be, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Thus hath the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shewed unto me: and, behold, the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
Then said I, O master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Ya'aqov arise? for he
is small.
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the master stood upon a wall
made
by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the master, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Yisra'el: I will not again pass by them any more:
And the high places of Yitschaq shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Yisra'el shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Then Amaziah the kohen of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Yisra'el, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Yisra'el: the land is not able to bear all his words.
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Yisra'el shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it
is the king’s chapel, and it
is the king’s court.
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I
was no navi, neither
was I a navi’s son; but I
was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) took me as I followed the flock, and 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Yisra'el.
Now therefore hear thou the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH): Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Yisra'el, and drop not
thy word against the house of Yitschaq.
Therefore thus saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH); Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Yisra'el shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

Amos · Chapter 8
Thus hath the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) unto me, The end is come upon my people of Yisra'el; I will not again pass by them any more.
And the songs of the heikhal shall be howlings in that day, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast
them forth with silence.
Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the shabbat, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) hath sworn by the excellency of Ya'aqov, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as
by the flood of Mitsrayim.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only
son,
and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Behold, the days come, saith the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH):
And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), and shall not find
it.
In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy elohim, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

Amos · Chapter 9
I saw 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) standing upon the altar: and he said, Smite the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that fleeth of them shall not flee away, and he that escapeth of them shall not be delivered.
Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to shamayim, thence will I bring them down:
And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out thence; and though they be hid from my sight in the bottom of the sea, thence will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:
And though they go into captivity before their enemies, thence will I command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set mine eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.
And the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) of hosts
is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall rise up wholly like a flood; and shall be drowned, as
by the flood of Mitsrayim.
It is he that buildeth his stories in the shamayim, and hath founded his troop in the earth; he that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
is his name.
Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Yisra'el? saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH). Have not I brought up Yisra'el out of the land of Mitsrayim? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?
Behold, the eyes of the master 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH)
are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Ya'aqov, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH).
For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Yisra'el among all nations, like as
corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.
All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
In that day will I raise up the mishkan of Dawid that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) that doeth this.
Behold, the days come, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH), that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.
And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Yisra'el, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit
them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.
And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 (YHWH) thy Elohim.
