Amos 7

1ThusH3541 did the LordH136 Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, he formedH3335 locustsH1462 in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 2And it came to pass, when they had wholly eatenH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, that I saidH559, O LordH136 Jehovah, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee! How shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. 3Jehovah repentedH5162 for this: It shall not beH1961, saidH559 Jehovah. 4ThusH3541 did the LordH136 Jehovah shew unto me; and behold, the LordH136 Jehovah calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784; and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and ateH398 up the inheritance. 5Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 Jehovah, ceaseH2308, I beseech thee! How shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. 6Jehovah repentedH5162 for this: This alsoH1571 shall not beH1961, saidH559 the Lord Jehovah. 7ThusH3541 did he shew unto me; and behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 upon 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. And the Lord saidH559, 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 desolatedH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid waste; and I will ariseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719. 10Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of Bethel sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspired against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bear all his wordsH1697. 11For thusH3541 AmosH5986 saith: JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall certainly goH1540 into captivity out of his landH127. 12And AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, [Thou] seerH2374, go, fleeH1272 awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and eatH398 breadH3899 there, and prophesyH5012 there. 13But prophesyH5012 not againH5750 any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuaryH4720, and it is the houseH1004 of the kingdomH4467. 14And AmosH5986 answered and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet's sonH1121; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit. 15And Jehovah tookH3947 me as I followed the flockH6629, and Jehovah saidH559 unto me, Go, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 16And nowH6258 hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of Jehovah: Thou sayest, ProphesyH5012 not against IsraelH3478, and utter not [wordsH1697] against the houseH1004 of Isaac. 17ThereforeH3651 thusH3541 saith Jehovah: Thy wifeH802 shall be a harlot in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 with the line; and thou shalt dieH4191 in a landH127 that is uncleanH2931; and IsraelH3478 shall certainlyH1540 goH1540 into captivity, out of his landH127.
