Amos 7

1ThusH3541 the LordH136 GODH136 shewed meH310: and, beholdH2009, he formedH3335 locustsH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927 of the latter growth; and, loH2009, it was the latter growth afterH310 the king’sH4428 mowings. 2And it cameH1961 to passH1961 that when they madeH1961 an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 GODH136, forgiveH5545, I beseechH4994 thee: howH3588 shall JacobH3290 standH6965? for he is smallH6996. 3The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 concerning this: It shall notH3808 be, saith the LORDH3068. 4ThusH3541 the LordH136 GODH136 shewed meH7121: and, beholdH2009, the LordH136 GODH136 calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784; and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and would have eatenH398 upH7200 the landH2506. 5Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 GODH136, ceaseH2308, I beseechH4994 thee: howH3588 shall JacobH3290 standH6965? for he is smallH6996. 6The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 concerning this: This also shall notH3808 be, saith the LordH3068 GODH3068. 7ThusH3541 he shewed meH5921: and, beholdH2009, the LordH136 stoodH5324 besideH5921 a wallH2346 made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his handH3027. 8And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, AmosH5986, whatH4100 seest thou? And I saidH559, A plumbline. Then saidH559 the LordH3068, BeholdH2005, I will setH7760 a plumbline in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478; I will notH3808 againH5750 passH5674 by them anyH5750 moreH5750: 9and the highH1116 placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laidH8074 wasteH8074; and I will riseH6965 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719. 10Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of Beth-el sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194 againstH5921 thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is notH3808 ableH3201 to bear allH3605 his wordsH1697. 11For thusH3541 AmosH5986 saith, JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH3588 be ledH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540 outH5921 of his landH127. 12Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, go, fleeH1272 thee awayH1272 intoH413 the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there: 13but prophesyH5012 notH3808 againH5750 anyH5750 moreH5750 at Beth-el: for it is the king’sH4428 sanctuaryH4720, and it is a royalH4428 houseH1004. 14Then answeredH559 AmosH5986, and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was noH3808 prophetH5030, neitherH3808 was I a prophet’s sonH1121; but I was an herdman, and a dresser of sycomore treesH8256: 15and the LORDH3068 tookH3947 meH413 from followingH310 the flockH6629, and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, Go, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. 16NowH6258 therefore hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: Thou sayest, ProphesyH5012 notH3808 againstH5921 IsraelH3478, and drop notH3808 thy wordH1697 againstH5921 the houseH1004 of IsaacH559; 17therefore thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068: Thy wifeH802 shall be an harlotH2181 in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 by lineH2256; and thou thyself shalt dieH4191 in a landH127 that is uncleanH2931, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH4191 be ledH1540 awayH1540 captiveH1540 outH5921 of his landH127.
