Amos 7:1-9

1ThusH3541 the LordH136 Jehovah showedH7200 me: and, behold, he formedH3335 locustsH1462 in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’sH4428 mowings. 2And it came to pass that, when they made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 Jehovah, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee: how shall JacobH3290 standH6965? for he is smallH6996. 3Jehovah repentedH5162 concerning this: It shall not beH1961, saith Jehovah.

4ThusH3541 the LordH136 Jehovah showedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 Jehovah calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784; and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and would have eatenH398 up the land. 5Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 Jehovah, ceaseH2308, I beseech thee: how shall JacobH3290 standH6965? for he is smallH6996. 6Jehovah repentedH5162 concerning this: This alsoH1571 shall not beH1961, saith the Lord Jehovah.

7ThusH3541 he showedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 beside a wallH2346 made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his handH3027. 8And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seest thou? And I saidH559, A plumb-line. Then saidH559 the Lord, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumb-line in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; I will not againH5750 passH5674 by them any more; 9and the highH1116 placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid waste; and I will riseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.
