Read Amos 1-2 and match the people’s transgression to their judgment.
How does God deal with such a nation as Israel today? How did He deal with them in the past? How similar are today's sins like those of the past? These are some of questions we will ask in this study of Amos.
Transgression |

Judgment |
1 Because they threshed Gilead with implements of sharp iron. |
|
So I will send fire upon the wall of Gaza |
2 Because they deported an entire population to deliver it up to Edom. |
|
So I will send fire upon the house of Hazael |
3 Because they delivered up an entire population to Edom and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood. |
|
So I will send fire upon Teman |
4 Because he pursued his brother with the sword, while he stifled his compassion; His anger also tore continually, and he maintained his fury forever. |
|
So I will send fire upon the wall of Tyre |
5 Because they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to enlarge their borders. |
|
So I will send fire upon Judah |
6 Because he burned the bones of the king of Edom to lime. |
|
Seek the Lord that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel, |
7 Because they rejected the law of the Lord and have not kept His statutes; Their lies also have led them astray, those after which their fathers walked. |
|
So I will kindle a fire on the wall of Rabbah
|
8 Because they sell the righteous for money and the needy for a pair of sandals. These who pant after the very dust of the earth on the head of the helpless also turn aside the way of the humble; and a man and his father resort to the same girl in order to profane My holy name. On garments taken as pledges they stretch out beside every altar, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined. |

So I will send fire upon Moab |
