Amos 4 (WEBP)

[1] Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”
[2] The Lord Yahweh has sworn by his holiness, “Behold, the days shall come on you that they will take you away with hooks, and the last of you with fish hooks.
[3] You will go out at the breaks in the wall, everyone straight before her; and you will cast yourselves into Harmon,” says Yahweh.
[4] “Go to Bethel, and sin; to Gilgal, and sin more. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,
[5] offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened, and proclaim free will offerings and brag about them; for this pleases you, you children of Israel,” says the Lord Yahweh.
[6] “I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in every town; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[7] “I also have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest; and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city. One field was rained on, and the field where it didn’t rain withered.
[8] So two or three cities staggered to one city to drink water, and were not satisfied; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[9] “I struck you with blight and mildew many times in your gardens and your vineyards, and the swarming locusts have devoured your fig trees and your olive trees; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[10] “I sent plagues among you like I did Egypt. I have slain your young men with the sword, and have carried away your horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camp, yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[11] “I have overthrown some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick plucked out of the fire; yet you haven’t returned to me,” says Yahweh.
[12] “Therefore I will do this to you, Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, Israel.
[13] For, behold, he who forms the mountains, creates the wind, declares to man what is his thought, who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth: Yahweh, the God of Armies, is his name.”

[2] The Lord God hath sworn () by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come () upon you, that he will take you away () with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
[3] And ye shall go out () at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast () them into the palace, saith () the Lord.
[4] Come () to Beth-el, and transgress; () at Gilgal multiply () transgression; () and bring () your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
[5] and offer () a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim () and publish () the free offerings: for this liketh () you, O ye children of Israel, saith () the Lord God.
[6] And I also have given () you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and want of bread in all your places: yet have ye not returned () unto me, saith () the Lord.
[7] And also I have withholden () the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain () upon one city, and caused it not to rain () upon another city: one piece was rained () upon, and the piece whereupon it rained () not withered. ()
[8] So two or three cities wandered () unto one city, to drink () water; but they were not satisfied: () yet have ye not returned () unto me, saith () the Lord.
[9] I have smitten () you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, () the palmerworm devoured () them: yet have ye not returned () unto me, saith () the Lord.
[10] I have sent () among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain () with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up () unto your nostrils: yet have ye not returned () unto me, saith () the Lord.
[11] I have overthrown () some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a firebrand plucked out () of the burning: yet have ye not returned () unto me, saith () the Lord.
[12] Therefore thus will I do () unto thee, O Israel: and because I will do () this unto thee, prepare () to meet () thy God, O Israel.
[13] For, lo, he that formeth () the mountains, and createth () the wind, and declareth () unto man what is his thought, that maketh () the morning darkness, and treadeth () upon the high places of the earth, The Lord, The God of hosts, is his name.

Amos 4 (BYZ)

[1] ακουσατε τον λογον τουτον δαμαλεις της βασανιτιδος αι εν τω ορει της σαμαρειας αι καταδυναστευουσαι πτωχους και καταπατουσαι πενητας αι λεγουσαι τοις κυριοις αυτων επιδοτε ημιν οπως πιωμεν
[2] ομνυει κυριος κατα των αγιων αυτου διοτι ιδου ημεραι ερχονται εφ υμας και λημψονται υμας εν οπλοις και τους μεθ υμων εις λεβητας υποκαιομενους εμβαλουσιν εμπυροι λοιμοι
[3] και εξενεχθησεσθε γυμναι κατεναντι αλληλων και απορριφησεσθε εις το ορος το ρεμμαν λεγει κυριος ο θεος
[4] εισηλθατε εις βαιθηλ και ηνομησατε και εις γαλγαλα επληθυνατε του ασεβησαι και ηνεγκατε εις το πρωι θυσιας υμων εις την τριημεριαν τα επιδεκατα υμων
[5] και ανεγνωσαν εξω νομον και επεκαλεσαντο ομολογιας απαγγειλατε οτι ταυτα ηγαπησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ λεγει κυριος ο θεος
[6] και εγω δωσω υμιν γομφιασμον οδοντων εν πασαις ταις πολεσιν υμων και ενδειαν αρτων εν πασι τοις τοποις υμων και ουκ επεστρεψατε προς με λεγει κυριος
[7] και εγω ανεσχον εξ υμων τον υετον προ τριων μηνων του τρυγητου και βρεξω επι πολιν μιαν επι δε πολιν μιαν ου βρεξω μερις μια βραχησεται και μερις εφ ην ου βρεξω επ αυτην ξηρανθησεται
[8] και συναθροισθησονται δυο και τρεις πολεις εις πολιν μιαν του πιειν υδωρ και ου μη εμπλησθωσιν και ουκ επεστρεψατε προς με λεγει κυριος
[9] επαταξα υμας εν πυρωσει και εν ικτερω επληθυνατε κηπους υμων αμπελωνας υμων και συκωνας υμων και ελαιωνας υμων κατεφαγεν η καμπη και ουδ ως επεστρεψατε προς με λεγει κυριος
[10] εξαπεστειλα εις υμας θανατον εν οδω αιγυπτου και απεκτεινα εν ρομφαια τους νεανισκους υμων μετα αιχμαλωσιας ιππων σου και ανηγαγον εν πυρι τας παρεμβολας υμων εν τη οργη μου και ουδ ως επεστρεψατε προς με λεγει κυριος
[11] κατεστρεψα υμας καθως κατεστρεψεν ο θεος σοδομα και γομορρα και εγενεσθε ως δαλος εξεσπασμενος εκ πυρος και ουδ ως επεστρεψατε προς με λεγει κυριος
[12] δια τουτο ουτως ποιησω σοι ισραηλ πλην οτι ουτως ποιησω σοι ετοιμαζου του επικαλεισθαι τον θεον σου ισραηλ
[13] διοτι ιδου εγω στερεων βροντην και κτιζων πνευμα και απαγγελλων εις ανθρωπους τον χριστον αυτου ποιων ορθρον και ομιχλην και επιβαινων επι τα υψη της γης κυριος ο θεος ο παντοκρατωρ ονομα αυτω
