  Amos
  
  
  
  
  
  Words of Amos. A farmer from Takoa. 2 years before the earthquake.
  Hashed calls out from Zion. Everything will dry up.
  3 sins of Damascus. 4th is over the line. Plowed up Gilead.
  I (Hashem) will send a fire to the palaces
  I will break the strength of Aram and send them into exile
  4th sin of Gaza was that they did not let the Jews escape from Edom. Hashem does not forgive them.
  I (Hashem) will send a fire to Gaza
  I will eradicate the Philistines 
  4th sin of Tyre was not letting the Jews escape Edom. They remember the pact of the brothers.
  Fire will devour the palaces
  4th sin of Edom. The never-ending hatred of the Jews.
  Some pyro-stuff
  4th sin of Ammon destroyed the child of Gilead
  Fire, Wind
  King will go into exile
  
  
  
  
  4th sin of Moab. They burned the king of Edom's bones.
  Hashem will burn their places
  All their leaders will die
  Judah is over the line. They're disgusted with the Torah. Falsehood led them astray.
  Pyro trick: Hashem says he'll burn everyone
  Israel is over the line. They sell righteous people for money and poor people for shoes.
  Desire, dust of earth, heads of poor people, man and dad sleep with same women ewww….
  They have stolen clothing near their alter
  I (Hashem) destroyed the Emorites before you and they were really tough
  I took you out of Egypt and took care of you in the desert for 40 years
  I made your kids into prophets and Nazarites
  You gave the Nazarites win and told the prophets "We don't want to hear it"
  I will make you suffer like a wagon stuffers under its load
  Fast people: no escape. Strong people: won't save themselves.
  Weapons and chariots won't help
  Mighty people will run naked
  
  
  
  Here's a message for the Jewish people on how I took them out of Egypt
  You're My people so I expect standards
  Do 2 people get together without arranging beforehand?
  Does a lion call out without catching prey?
  Does a trap go up without catching something?
  Does a Shofar blow without people being scared? Do bad things happen without ה׳ doing it?
  If Hashem does something He tells the prophets first
  If a lion roars who is not afraid? Hashem speaks how can you not prophesies?
  
  
  
  When a shepherd find what's left of his sheep, ear feet, etc. That'll be you!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  You all say that you want the day of Hashem? You can't handle the day of Hashem
  Its like running from a lion and bumping into a bear then leaning on the wall and being bitten by a snake
  It's so dark, no light at all 
  I (Hashem) hate your holidays (because they're fake)
  Bring your offerings – I don't care!
  Keep your music
  I want justice everywhere
  Did you bring me offerings in the desert?
  You can take your idols
  And go to exile to Demascus
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Amos sees a vision: Locust eat the crops
  Amos: Forgive the Jews, they're small
  Hashem says, "Fine"
  A ball of fire comes down and consumes everything
  Amos intercedes
  Hashem lets it go
  Vision number 3: Hashem has a plumb line
  Hashem: I'm putting down a line for the Jews
  Destroy houses of idolatry. Go after Jeroboam's house with a sword...
  Amaziah the priest: Send a message to Jeroboam saying "Amos is rebelling against you"
  Amos is saying that you'll die by the sword and Jews will be exiled
  Amaziah says to Amos: Go back to Judah, eat bread and give prophesies
  We don't want you here in the Kingdom of Israel! Go away!
  Amos says, "I'm not a prophet, not the son of a prophet, I'm a hick with straw in my teeth"
  Hashem took me from the sheep and told me to be a Prophet
  You told me not be a Prophet
  Your wife will cheat on you, your children will die and you'll die in exile
  
  
  
  He sees a basket of figs
  The end has come (play on words of קץ?)
  Singing will be replaced with wailing, when they bury the corpses they'll be quiet
  All you try to do is be mean to poor people
  When will people enter my shop so I can rip them off
  "Buy" poor people for shoes...
  Hashem "You think I forgot? BIG MISTAKE!
  Water should rise up and sweep you away
  I will darken the day of light
  I'll turn your holidays into mournings
  I (Hashem) will bring a famine not for food or water but for the word of Hashem
  People will search everywhere and not find the word of Hashem
  Young people will keel over
  All of you who swear falsely will fall and never get up
  
  
  
  Amos sees Hashem on the Alter. Everything shakes. People die by the sword.
  If you go down to the grave then I will take you from there. If you go to heaven I'll bring you down.
  If you go into the depths I'll have a snake bite you
  My eye is on you all for bad 
  I'll rise like a tidal wave
  Hashem who is mighty in heaven and His creations are on Earth
