Amos:6-9




jub@Amos:6:1 @ Woe unto those [that are] at ease in Zion and to those that trust in the mountain of Samaria, [who are] named principals among the same nations which shall come upon them, O house of Israel!

jub@Amos:6:2 @ Pass unto Calneh and see, and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Palestinians. [Are they] better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?

jub@Amos:6:3 @ Ye that put far away the evil day and cause the seat of violence to come near;

jub@Amos:6:4 @ 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;

jub@Amos:6:5 @ that chant to the sound of the flute [and] invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;

jub@Amos:6:6 @ that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments, but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.

jub@Amos:6:7 @ Therefore now they shall go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of those that stretched themselves [upon their couches] shall be removed.

jub@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord GOD has sworn by himself, the LORD God of the hosts said, I abhor the grandeur of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will give the city with all that is therein over to the enemy.

jub@Amos:6:9 @ And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.

jub@Amos:6:10 @ And their uncle shall take each one and burn them 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 he shall say, Hold thy tongue, for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.

jub@Amos:6:11 @ For, behold, the LORD shall command, and he will smite the great house with breaches and the little house with clefts.

jub@Amos:6:12 @ Shall horses run upon the rocks? will [one] plow [there] with oxen? why have ye turned judgment into hemlock, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood?

jub@Amos:6:13 @ Ye who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?

jub@Amos:6:14 @ But, behold, I will raise up against you Gentiles, O house of Israel, said the LORD God of the hosts, and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.:

jub@Amos:7:1 @ Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me, and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter hay; and, behold that the latter [hay grew] after the king's reapings.

jub@Amos:7:2 @ And it came to pass [that] when they had come to an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee; who shall lift up Jacob? for he [is] small.

jub@Amos:7:3 @ The LORD repented of this; It shall not be, said the LORD.

jub@Amos:7:4 @ [Afterward] the Lord GOD showed me this: And, behold, the Lord GOD called to judge by fire, and it devoured the great deep and ate up the inheritance.

jub@Amos:7:5 @ Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee; who shall raise up Jacob? for he [is] small.

jub@Amos:7:6 @ The LORD repented of this: This also shall not be, said the Lord GOD.

jub@Amos:7:7 @ Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

jub@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass over them any more:

jub@Amos:7:9 @ And the altars of Isaac shall be destroyed, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise upon the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

jub@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.

jub@Amos:7:11 @ For thus hath Amos said, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

jub@Amos:7:12 @ And Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and eat thy bread there, and prophesy there:

jub@Amos:7:13 @ but do not prophesy any more in Bethel: for it [is] the king's sanctuary, and the head of the kingdom.

jub@Amos:7:14 @ Then Amos answered Amos said to Amaziah, I am not a prophet, neither am I a prophet's son, but I am a herdsman and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

jub@Amos:7:15 @ and the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

jub@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Do not prophesy against Israel and do not drop [thy word] against the house of Isaac.

jub@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus hath the LORD said; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by lots; and thou shalt die in a polluted land; and Israel shall surely go into captivity from his land.:

jub@Amos:8:1 @ Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

jub@Amos:8:2 @ And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass over them any more.

jub@Amos:8:3 @ And the cantors of the temple shall howl in that day, said the Lord GOD; [there shall be] many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.

jub@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, and cut off the poor of the land,

jub@Amos:8:5 @ saying, When the month is over, we will sell the wheat; and after the sabbath day we will open [the storehouse] of bread, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit;

jub@Amos:8:6 @ that we may buy the poor for money and the needy for a pair of shoes and sell the refuse of the wheat.

jub@Amos:8:7 @ The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

jub@Amos:8:8 @ Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall all rise up as a flood, and it shall be cast out and sunk, as the river of Egypt.

jub@Amos:8:9 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, said the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will cover the earth with darkness in the clear day;

jub@Amos:8:10 @ and I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; and I will cause sackcloth to be brought up 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.

jub@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, [the] days come, said the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine to the earth, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing [the] words of the LORD:

jub@Amos:8:12 @ 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 the LORD, and shall not find [it].

jub@Amos:8:13 @ In that day the fair virgins and young men shall faint for thirst.

jub@Amos:8:14 @ Those that swear by the guiltiness of Samaria and say, As thy God of Dan lives; and, As the way of Beersheba lives, even they shall fall, and never rise up again.:

jub@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing upon the altar, and he said, Smite the threshold and shake the doors and cut the head of them all into pieces; and I will slay the last of them with the sword; there shall be none of them [left] to flee away or to escape.

jub@Amos:9:2 @ Though they dig unto Sheol, from there shall my hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, from there I will bring them down;

jub@Amos:9:3 @ and though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out of there; and though they hide from my sight in the bottom of the sea, from there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them:

jub@Amos:9:4 @ and though they go into captivity before their enemies, from there I will command the sword, and it shall slay them: and I will set my eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.

jub@Amos:9:5 @ The Lord GOD of the hosts [is] he that touches the earth, and it shall melt, and all that dwell therein shall mourn: and it shall all rise up like [a] river and shall be sunk, as the river of Egypt.

jub@Amos:9:6 @ He that built his degrees in the heaven and has founded his gathering upon the earth; he that calls the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name.

jub@Amos:9:7 @ O sons of Israel, [Are] ye not as sons of the Ethiopians unto me, said the LORD? Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Palestinians from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

jub@Amos:9:8 @ Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD [are] against 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 Jacob, said the LORD.

jub@Amos:9:9 @ For, behold, I will command, and I will cause the house of Israel to be sifted among all the Gentiles like as [the grain] is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall to the earth.

jub@Amos:9:10 @ All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, For our sake the evil shall not come near nor overtake us.

jub@Amos:9:11 @ In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen and close up its breaches; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:

jub@Amos:9:12 @ that those who are called by my name may possess the remnant of Edom and all the Gentiles, said the LORD that does this.

jub@Amos:9:13 @ Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall catch up with the reaper, and the treader of grapes with him that sows seed; and the mountains shall drop new wine, and all the hills shall melt.

jub@Amos:9:14 @ And I will turn the captivity of my people of Israel, 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.

jub@Amos:9:15 @ For I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, said the LORD thy God.:

jub@Luke:3:25 @ who was [the son] of Mattathias, who was [the son] of Amos, who was [the son] of Naum, who was [the son] of Esli, who was [the son] of Nagge,
