The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Thecua: which he\u003cbr\u003esaw concerning Israel in the days of Ozias king of Juda, and in the days\u003cbr\u003eof Jeroboam the son of Joas king of Israel two years before the\u003cbr\u003eearthquake.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe earthquake... Many understand this of a great earthquake, which they\u003cbr\u003esay was felt at the time that king Ozias attempted to offer incense in\u003cbr\u003ethe temple. But the best chronologists prove that the earthquake here\u003cbr\u003espoken of must have been before that time: because Jeroboam the second,\u003cbr\u003eunder whom Amos prophesied, was dead long before that attempt of Ozias.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:2. And he said: The Lord will roar from Sion, and utter his voice from\u003cbr\u003eJerusalem: and the beautiful places of the shepherds have mourned, and\u003cbr\u003ethe top of Carmel is withered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:3. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four I\u003cbr\u003ewill not convert it: because they have thrashed Galaad with iron wains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor three crimes-and for four... That is, for their many unrepented of\u003cbr\u003ecrimes.-Ibid. I will not convert it... That is, I will not spare them,\u003cbr\u003enor turn away the punishments I design to inflict upon them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:4. And I will send a fire into the house of Azael, and it shall devour\u003cbr\u003ethe houses of Benadad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:5. And I will break the bar of Damascus: and I will cut off the\u003cbr\u003einhabitants from the plain of the idol, and him that holdeth the sceptre\u003cbr\u003efrom the house of pleasure: and the people of Syria shall be carried\u003cbr\u003eaway to Cyrene, saith the Lord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:6. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four I will\u003cbr\u003enot convert it: because they have carried away a perfect captivity to\u003cbr\u003eshut them up in Edom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:7. And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour the\u003cbr\u003ehouses thereof.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:8. And I will cut off the inhabitant from Azotus, and him that holdeth\u003cbr\u003ethe sceptre from Ascalon: and I will turn my hand against Accaron, and\u003cbr\u003ethe rest of the Philistines shall perish, saith the Lord God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:9. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four I will\u003cbr\u003enot convert it: because they have shut up an entire captivity in Edom,\u003cbr\u003eand have not remembered the covenant of brethren.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:10. And I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour\u003cbr\u003ethe houses thereof.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:11. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four I will\u003cbr\u003enot convert him: because he hath pursued his brother with the sword, and\u003cbr\u003ehath carried on his fury, and hath kept his wrath to the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:12. I will send a fire into Theman: and it shall devour the houses of\u003cbr\u003eBosra.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:13. Thus saith the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon,\u003cbr\u003eand for four I will not convert him: because he hath ripped up the women\u003cbr\u003ewith child of Galaad to enlarge his border.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:14. And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabba: and it shall devour\u003cbr\u003ethe houses thereof with shouting in the day of battle, and with a\u003cbr\u003ewhirlwind in the day of trouble.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1:15. And Melchom shall go into captivity, both he, and his princes\u003cbr\u003etogether, saith the Lord.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMelchom... The god or idol of the Ammonites, otherwise called Moloch,\u003cbr\u003eand Melech: which in Hebrew signifies a king, and Melchom their king.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lost Leaf Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067903099120,"sku":"2940148937814","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148937814_p0.jpg?v=1763710761","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148937814","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
