Amos 7:1-9
1This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 showed meH7200H2009: He was preparingH3335 swarms of locustsH1462 just afterH310 the king’sH4428 harvestH1488, as the late spring cropH5927H3954 was coming upH8462.1 2AndH1961 whenH518 the locusts hadH3615 eatenH398 every green plantH6212 in the landH776, I saidH559, “LordH136 GODH3069, pleaseH4994 forgiveH5545! HowH4310 will JacobH3290 surviveH6965, sinceH3588 heH1931 is so smallH6996?”
3So the LORDH3068 relentedH5162 fromH5921 thisH2063 plan. “It will notH3808 happenH1961,” He saidH559.
4This is whatH3541 the LordH136 GODH3069 showed meH7200H2009: The LordH136 GODH3069 was callingH7121 for judgmentH7378 by fireH784. It consumedH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415 and devouredH398 the landH2506. 5Then I saidH559, “LordH136 GODH3069, pleaseH4994 stopH2308! HowH4310 will JacobH3290 surviveH6965, sinceH3588 heH1931 is so smallH6996?”
6So the LORDH3068 relentedH5162 fromH5921 thisH2063 plan. “ItH1931 will notH3808 happenH1961 eitherH1571,” saidH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
7This is whatH3541 He showed meH7200: BeholdH2009, the LordH136 was standingH5324 byH5921 a wallH2346 true to plumbH594, with a plumb lineH594 in His handH3027. 8“AmosH5986, whatH4100 do youH859 seeH7200?” askedH559 the LORDH3068H413.
“A plumb lineH594,” I repliedH559.
“BeholdH2005,” saidH559 the LordH136, “I am settingH7760 a plumb lineH594 amongH7130 My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; I will noH3808 longerH3254H5750 spareH5674 them:
