Dialogue with Trypho 22.4 · Sophia Scriptura

Summary: Amos 5:27–6:2.

Greek text · Archambault 1:98

Καὶ μετοικιῶ ὑμᾶς ἐπέκεινα Δαμασκοῦ, λέγει κύριος· ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ὄνομα αὐτῷ. Οὐαὶ οἱ κατασπαταλῶντες Σιὼν καὶ τοῖς πεποιθόσιν ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος Σαμαρείας. Οἱ ὠνομασμένοι ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀρχηγοῖς ἀπετρύγησαν ἀρχὰς ἐθνῶν· εἰσῆλθον ἑαυτοῖς οἶκος Ἰσραήλ. Διάβητε πάντες εἰς Χαλάνην καὶ ἴδετε, καὶ πορεύθητε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Ἀμὰθ τὴν μεγάλην, καὶ κατάβητε ἐκεῖθεν εἰς Γὲθ τῶν ἀλλοφύλων, τὰς κρατίστας ἐκ πασῶν τῶν βασιλειῶν τούτων, εἰ πλείονά ἐστι τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν τῶν ὁρίων ὑμῶν.

English · Claude translation

“‘And I will remove you beyond Damascus, says the Lord; the Lord Almighty is his name. Woe to those who live wantonly in Zion, and to those who trust in the mountain of Samaria. Those named among the chiefs have gathered the first-fruits of the nations; they have gone in for themselves, the house of Israel. Pass over, all of you, to Calneh and see, and go from there to Hamath the great, and go down from there to Gath of the Philistines, the strongest of all these kingdoms, and see if their borders are greater than your borders.
