AM-7:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me; and, behold, he
formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the
latter growth; and, lo, [it was] the latter growth after the
king's mowings.
AM-7:2 And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of
eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive,
I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.
AM-7:3 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the
LORD.
AM-7:4 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and, behold, the
Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great
deep, and did eat up a part.
AM-7:5 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom
shall Jacob arise? for he [is] small.
AM-7:6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith
the Lord GOD.
AM-7:7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a
wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
AM-7:8 And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I
said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a
plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again
pass by them any more:
AM-7:9 And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the
sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise
against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
AM-7:10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king
of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst
of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his
words.
AM-7:11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own
land.
AM-7:12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee
away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy
there:
AM-7:13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it [is]
the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.
AM-7:14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I [was] no
prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman,
and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:
AM-7:15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the
LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
AM-7:16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou
sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not [thy word]
against the house of Isaac.
AM-7:17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an
harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by
the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt
die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into
captivity forth of his land.
