Shining with radiant beams of the Truth, thou didst smite the prophet of falsehood, mightily denouncing him and foretelling his destruction. Twice

¶4

Theotokion: I hymn thine all-pure virginity, O Virgin, and I glorify the ineffable and honored birthgiving, whereby I am saved from corruption and death, O all-pure one.

Thou didst dim the flame of beguilement, O prophet, shining forth the radiance of piety upon all, like the sun, in that thou hast received the effulgence of the Spirit.

¶6

Having cleansed thy radiant heart by the Spirit, O glorious Prophet Amos, and received the gift of prophecy from on high, thou didst cry aloud throughout the land: Behold our God! There is none other like unto Him!
