Amos 7:1-9

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.
