Amos 7:1-9

1ThusH3541 the LordH136 1GodH3068 showedH7200 me, and beholdH2009, He was formingH3335 a 2locust-swarmH1373 3when the springH3954 cropH3954 beganH8462 to sproutH5927. And beholdH2009, the springH3954 cropH3954 was afterH310 the king’sH4428 4mowingH1488. 2And it cameH1961 about, 5whenH518 it had 6finishedH3615 eatingH398 the vegetationH6212 of the landH776, that I saidH559, “7LordH136 GodH3068, pleaseH4994 pardonH5545! 8HowH4310 can JacobH3290 standH6965, For he is 9smallH6996?”3The LordH3068 1011changedH5162 His mindH5162 aboutH5921 thisH2088. “It shall not be,” saidH559 the LordH3068.

4ThusH3541 the LordH136 GodH3068 showedH7200 me, and beholdH2009, the LordH136 GodH3068 was callingH7121 to contendH7378 with them by 12fireH784, and it consumedH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415 and began to consumeH398 the 13farmH2506 landH2506. 5Then I saidH559, “14LordH136 GodH3068, pleaseH4994 stopH2308! 15HowH4310 can JacobH3290 standH6965, for he is smallH6996?”6The LordH3068 1617changedH5162 His mindH5162 aboutH5921 thisH2088. “ThisH1931 tooH1571 shall not be,” saidH559 the LordH136 GodH3068.

7ThusH3541 He showedH7200 me, and beholdH2009, the LordH136 was standingH5324 18by a 19verticalH594 wallH2346 with a plumbH594 lineH594 in His handH3027. 8The LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “20WhatH4100 do you seeH7200, AmosH5986?” And I saidH559, “A plumbH594 lineH594.” Then the LordH136 saidH559, “BeholdH2009 I am about to putH7760 a 21plumbH594 lineH594 In the midstH7130 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. I will 2223spareH5674 them noH3808 longerH3254H5750.9The 24highH1116 placesH1116 of IsaacH3327 will be desolatedH8074 And the 25sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 laidH2717 wasteH2717. Then I will 26riseH6965 up againstH5921 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.”
