18 Woe to you that desire the Yom vuvh! 3080 To what end
is it for you? The Yom vuvh is darkness, and not
light. 3081
19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him;
or went into the bayit, and leaned his hand on the wall,
and a serpent bit him.
20 Shall not the Yom vuvh be darkness, and not light?
Even very dark, and no brightness in it? 3082
21 I hate, I despise your moadim, and I am not pleased
with your miqra qedoshim. 3083
22 Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your grain
offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the
shalom offerings of your fattened beasts.
23 Take away from Me the noise of your shirim; for I will
not hear the melody of your stringed instruments. 3084
24 But let mishpatim run down as mayim, and tzedakah
as a mighty stream.
25 Have you offered to Me sacrifices and offerings in the
wilderness forty years, O Beit Yisrael?
26 But you have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and
Chiyun your idols, the cochav of your elohim, which you
made as an idol for yourselves.
27 Therefore will I cause you to go into exile beyond
Dameshek, says vuvh, whose Name is Elohim tzevaoth.
6
Woe to those that are at ease in Tzion, 3085 and trust in
the mountain of Shomron, 3086 which is named chief of the
nations, to whom Beit Yisrael came!
2 Pass to Calneh, and see; and from there go you to
Hamath the great: then go down to Gat of the Plishtim:
are you better than these malchutim? Or, their border
greater than your border?
3 You that put far away the soon-coming evil day, and
cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 That lies upon beds of ivory, and stretches themselves
upon their couches, and eats the lambs out of the flock,
and the calves out of the midst of their stall;
5 That chants to the sound of the stringed instruments,
and invents for themselves instruments of music, like
Dawid;
6 That drinks wine in bowls, and anoints themselves with
the finest ointments: but they are not grieved, or pained
for the affliction of Yoseph. 3087
7 Therefore now shall they go into exile with the first that
go into exile, 3088 and the banquet of those that stretched
themselves out in comfort shall be removed.
8 The Master vuvh has sworn by Himself, says vuvh
Elohim tzevaoth, I hate the pride of Yaakov, and hate his
palaces: therefore will I deliver up the city 3089 with all
that is in it.
9 And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in
one bayit, 3090 that they shall die.
10 And a man’s uncle shall take him up, or an
undertaker, to bring out his bones from the bayit, 3091 and
shall say to him that is by the sides of the bayit, Is there
yet any with you? And he shall say, No. Then shall he say,
Hold your tongue for we may not make mention of the
Name of vuvh. 3092
11 For, behold, vuvh commands, and He will smite the
great bayit 3093 with breaches, and the little bayit 3094
with clefts. 3095
12 Shall horses run upon the rock? Will one plow there
with oxen? For you have turned mishpat into poison, and
AHMOS - AMOS
- 398 -
the fruit of tzedakah into wormwood: 3096
13 You who gilah in things of nothing, who say, Have we
not taken for us horns by our own strength?
14 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O
Beit Yisrael, says vuvh Elohim tzevaoth; and they shall
afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the
wilderness.
7
This has the Master vuvh shown me; He formed locust
swarms at the beginning of the late crop; and, see, it was
the late crop after the melech’s tribute.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of
eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Master vuvh,
forgive, I beg You: how shall Yaakov survive? For he is
small.
3 vuvh relented for this: It shall not be, says vuvh.
4 This has the Master vuvh shown to me: behold, the
Master vuvh called the people to judge them by fire, and
it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part of it.
5 Then said I, O Master vuvh, cease, I beg You: how shall
Yaakov survive? For he is small.
6 vuvh relented for this: This also shall not be, says the
Master vuvh.
7 This He showed me: and, behold, vuvh stood upon a
wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.
8 And vuvh said to me, Ahmos, what do you see? And I
said, A plumb line. Then said vuvh, Behold, I will set a
plumb line in the midst of My people Yisrael: I will not
again pass by them any more:
9 And the idol temples of Yitzchak shall be desolate, and
the pagan shrines of Yisrael shall be laid waste; and I
will rise up against Beit Yahravam 3097 with the sword.
10 Then Amatzyah the kohen of Beth-El sent to
Yahravam melech of Yisrael, saying, Ahmos has
conspired against you in the midst of Beit Yisrael: the
land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For this Ahmos says, Yahravam shall die by the
sword, and Yisrael shall surely be led away captive out of
their own land.
12 Also Amatzyah said to Ahmos, O you seer, go, flee
into the land of Yahudah, and there eat lechem, and
prophesy there: 3098
13 But prophesy not again any more at Beth-El: for it is
the melech’s worship place, and it is the melech’s court.
14 Then answered Ahmos, and said to Amatzyah, I was
not a navi, neither was I a navi’s son; but I was a
shepherd, and a gatherer of wild figs:
15 And vuvh took me as I followed the flock, and vuvh
said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Yisrael. 3099
16 Now therefore hear the word of vuvh: You have said,
Prophesy not against Yisrael, and drop not your word
against Beit Yitzchak.
17 Therefore this says vuvh; Your wife shall be a harlot
in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by
the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; 3100
and you shall die in a polluted land: and Yisrael shall
surely go into exile out of its land.
This has the Master vuvh shown me: and behold a
basket of summer fruit.
2 And He said, Ahmos, what do you see? And I said, A
basket of summer fruit. Then said vuvh to me, The end is
come upon My people of Yisrael; 3101 8
I will not again
