Juicio contra las naciones vecinas

Palabras de Amós, que fue uno de los pastores^a de Tecoa^b, de lo que vio en visión acerca de Israel en días de Uzías, rey de Judá^c, y en días de Jeroboam, hijo de Joás, rey de Israel^d, dos años antes del terremoto^e.

2 Y dijo:El SEÑOR ruge desde Sión,y desde Jerusalén da su voz^a;los pastizales de los pastores están de duelo^b,y se seca la cumbre¹ del Carmelo^c.

3 Así dice el SEÑOR:Por tres transgresiones^a de Damasco^b, y por cuatro,no revocaré¹ su castigo,porque trillaron a Galaad con trillos de hierro.4 Por eso enviaré fuego sobre la casa de Hazael,y consumirá los palacios¹ de Ben-adad^a.5 También romperé el cerrojo^a de Damasco,extirparé al morador del valle de Avén¹y al que empuña el cetro de Bet-edén,y el pueblo de Aram será desterrado a Kir^b—dice el SEÑOR.

6 Así dice el SEÑOR:Por tres transgresiones de Gaza^a, y por cuatro,no revocaré su castigo,por haber deportado a todo un pueblopara entregarlo^b a Edom.7 Enviaré, pues, fuego sobre la muralla de Gaza,y consumirá sus palacios.8 También extirparé al morador de Asdod^a,y al que empuña el cetro de Ascalón^b;desataré mi poder¹ sobre Ecrón,y el remanente de los filisteos perecerá^c—dice el Señor DIOS².

9 Así dice el SEÑOR:por tres transgresiones de Tiro^a, y por cuatro,no revocaré su castigo,por haber entregado todo un pueblo cautivo a Edomsin acordarse del pacto de hermanos^b.10 Enviaré, pues, fuego sobre la muralla de Tiro,y consumirá sus palacios^a.

11 Así dice el SEÑOR:Por tres transgresiones de Edom^a, y por cuatro,no revocaré su castigo,porque con espada persiguió a su hermano,y suprimió¹ su compasión^b;su ira continuó despedazandoy mantuvo su furor para siempre^c.12 Enviaré, pues, fuego sobre Temán^a,y consumirá los palacios de Bosra.

13 Así dice el SEÑOR:Por tres transgresiones de los hijos de Amón^a, y por cuatro,no revocaré su castigo,porque abrieron los vientres de las mujeres encinta^b de Galaadpara ensanchar sus fronteras^c.14 Encenderé, pues, fuego en la muralla de Rabá^a,y consumirá sus palaciosen medio de gritos de guerra en el día de la batalla^b,en medio de una tempestad en el día de la tormenta^c;15 y su rey irá al destierro,él y sus príncipes con él^a—dice el SEÑOR.

Judgment on Neighboring Nations

The words of Amos, who was among the ^asheepherders of ¹^bTekoa, which he saw in a divine revelation concerning ²Israel in the days of ^cUzziah king of Judah, and in the days of ^dJeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the ^eearthquake. Zech 14:5

2 And he said,“The ^aLORD thunders and roars from Zion in judgmentAnd utters His voice from Jerusalem;Then the ^bpastures of the shepherds mourn,And the ^csummit of Mount Carmel dries up because of God’s judgment.” Is 42:13; Jer 25:30; Joel 3:16

3 Thus says the LORD,“For ^athree transgressions of ^bDamascus and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I shall not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because they have threshed Gilead east of the Jordan River with sharp iron sledges having spikes that crushed and shredded. 2+@Kin 10:32, 334 “So I will send a fire of war, conquest, and destruction upon the house of ¹Hazael,And it shall devour the palaces and strongholds of ²^aBen-hadad (Hazael’s son) .5 “I also will ^abreak the bar of the gate of Damascus,And cut off and destroy the inhabitant from the Valley of Aven (Wickedness) ,And the ruler who holds the scepter, from Beth-eden (Damascus) ;And the people of Aram conquered by the Assyrians will go into exile to ¹^bKir,”Says the LORD. Ezek 30:17

6 Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of ^aGaza in Philistia and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because as slave traders they took captive the entire Jewish population of defenseless Judean border villages, of which none was sparedAnd ^bdeported them to Edom for the slave trade. Joel 3:67 “So I will send a fire of war, conquest, and destruction on the wall of GazaAnd it shall consume her citadels.8 “And I will cut off and destroy the inhabitants from ^aAshdod,And the ruler who holds the scepter, from ^bAshkelon;And I will unleash My power and turn My hand in judgment against Ekron,And the rest of the ^cPhilistines in Gath and the towns dependent on these four Philistine cities shall die,”Says the Lord GOD. Josh 13:3

9 Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of ^aTyre and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because they as middlemen deported an entire Jewish population to EdomAnd did not seriously remember their ^bcovenant of brotherhood. 1+@Kin 5:1, 12; 9:12, 1310 “So I will ^asend a fire of war, conquest, and destruction on the wall of Tyre,And it shall consume her citadels.”

11 Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of ^aEdom the descendants of Esau and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because he ^bpursued his brother Jacob (Israel) with the sword,Corrupting and stifling his compassions and casting off all mercy;His destructive ^canger raged continually,And he maintained and nurtured his wrath forever.12 “So I will send a fire of war, conquest, and destruction upon ^aTeman,And it shall consume the citadels of Bozrah in Edom.”

13 Thus says the LORD,“For three transgressions of the children of ¹^aAmmon and for four (multiplied delinquencies)I will not reverse its punishment or revoke My word concerning it,Because the Ammonites have ^bripped open the pregnant women of Gilead,That they might ^cenlarge their border.14 “So I will kindle a fire of war, conquest, and destruction on the wall of ^aRabbah in AmmonAnd it shall devour its strongholdsAmid ^bwar cries and shouts of alarm on the day of battle,And a ^ctempest on the day of the whirlwind when the enemy captures the city.15 “Their ^aking shall go into exile,He and his princes together,” says the LORD.
