Amos 7:7-13

7ThusH3541 He showedH7200 me, and beholdH2009, the LordH136 was standingH5324 1by a 2verticalH594 wallH2346 with a plumbH594 lineH594 in His handH3027. 8The LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “3WhatH4100 do you seeH7200, AmosH5986?” And I saidH559, “A plumbH594 lineH594.” Then the LordH136 saidH559, “BeholdH2009 I am about to putH7760 a 4plumbH594 lineH594 In the midstH7130 of My peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. I will 56spareH5674 them noH3808 longerH3254H5750.9The 7highH1116 placesH1116 of IsaacH3327 will be desolatedH8074 And the 8sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 laidH2717 wasteH2717. Then I will 9riseH6965 up againstH5921 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.”

10Then AmaziahH558, the 10priestH3548 of BethelH1008, sentH7971 word to 11JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, “AmosH5986 has 12conspiredH7194 againstH5921 you in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478; the landH776 is unableH3808H3201 to endureH3557 allH3605 his wordsH1697. 11For thusH3541 AmosH5986 saysH559, ‘JeroboamH3379 will dieH4191 by the swordH2719 and IsraelH3478 will certainlyH1540 goH1540 from its landH127 into exileH1540.’” 12Then AmaziahH558 saidH559 to AmosH5986, “13GoH1980, you seerH2374, fleeH1272 away to the landH776 of JudahH3063 and thereH8033 eatH398 breadH3899 and thereH8033 do your prophesyingH5012! 13But 14noH3808 longerH3254H5750 prophesyH5012 at BethelH1008, for it is a 15sanctuaryH4720 of the kingH4428 and a royalH4467 16residenceH1004.”
