RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

The words of Ahmos, who was among the shepherds
of Tekoah, which he saw concerning Yisrael in the days
of Uziyahu melech of Yahudah, and in the days of
Yahravam the son of Yoash melech of Yisrael, two years
before the earthquake.
2 And he said, vuvh will roar from Tzion, and utter His
voice from Yahrushalayim; and the pastures of the
shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall
wither.
3 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Dameshek,
and for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because they have threshed Gilad with threshing
instruments of iron:
4 But I will send a fire into the bayit of Haza-El, which
shall devour the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
5 I will break also the bar of Dameshek, and cut off the
inhabitant from the plain of Aven, and him that holds the
scepter from Beit Eden: and the people of Aram shall go
into exile to Kir, says vuvh.
6 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Azah, and
for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because they carried away captive the whole exile, to
deliver them up to Edom:
7 But I will send a fire on the wall of Azah, which shall
devour the palaces of it:
8 And I will cut off the inhabitant from Ashdod, and him
that holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn My
hand against Ekron: and the remnant of the Plishtim shall
perish, says the Master vuvh.
9 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Tzor, and
for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because they delivered up the whole exile to Edom, and
remembered not the brotherly brit: 3065

10 But I will send a fire on the wall of Tzor that shall
devour the palaces of it.
11 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Edom, and
for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did
cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and
he kept his wrath le-olam-va-ed:
12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour
the palaces of Bozrah.
13 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of the
children of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn away the
punishment of it; because they have ripped up the women
with child in Gilad, that they might enlarge their border:
14 But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Ravah, and it
shall devour the palaces of it, with shouting in the day of
battle, with a storm in the day of the whirlwind:
15 And their melech shall go into exile, he and his princes
together, says vuvh.
2 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Moav, and
for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because he burned the bones of the melech of Edom into
lime:
2 But I will send a fire upon Moav, and it shall devour the
palaces of Keriyoth: and Moav shall die with a tumult,
with shouting, and with the sound of the shofar:
Ahmos – xung xung – Amos
To Our Forefathers Yisrael
- 396 -
3 And I will cut off the shophet from the midst of it, and
will slay all the princes of it with him, says vuvh.
4 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Yahudah,
and for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because they have despised the Torot of vuvh, and have
not kept His chukim, and their lies have caused them to
go astray, after the halacha that their ahvot have also
gone:
5 But I will send a fire upon Yahudah, and it shall devour
the palaces of Yahrushalayim.
6 This says vuvh; For three transgressions of Yisrael, 3066
and for four, I will not turn away the punishment of it;
because they sold the tzadik for silver, and the poor for a
pair of sandals;
7 They crush the head of the poor in the dust of the earth,
and they turn aside the derech of the meek: and a man
and his abba go into the same young girl, to profane My
kadosh Name:
8 And they lay themselves down upon clothes taken in
pledge by every altar, and they drink the wine of the
condemned in the bayit of their elohim.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height
was like the height of the cedars, and they were as strong
as the oaks; yet I destroyed their fruit from above, and
their roots from beneath.
10 Also I brought you up from the land of Mitzrayim, and
led you forty years through the wilderness, to possess the
land of the Amorite.
11 And I raised up your sons to be neviim, and your
young men to be Nazarites. Is it not so, O children of
Yisrael? Says vuvh.
12 But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and
commanded the neviim, saying, Prophesy not!
13 Behold, I am weighed down by your sin, as a cart is
weighed down that is full of sheaves.
14 Therefore the safe place shall perish from the swift,
and the strong shall not strengthen his power, neither
shall the mighty deliver himself:
15 Neither shall he stand that handles the bow; and he
that is swift of foot shall not deliver himself: neither shall
he that rides the horse deliver himself.
16 And he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee
away naked in that day, says vuvh.
Listen to this word that vuvh has spoken against you,
O children of Yisrael, against the whole mishpacha that I
brought up from the land of Mitzrayim, saying,
2 You only have I known of all the mishpachot of the
earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
3 Can two walk together, except they are in
agreement? 3067

4 Will a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Will
a young lion cry out of his den, if he has taken nothing?
5 Can a bird fall in a trap upon the earth, where no trap
exists? Does a trap spring up from the earth, if it has not
taken prey?
6 Shall a shofar be blown in the city, and the people not
tremble? Shall there be evil in a city, if vuvh has not
allowed it?
