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.
