Amós 7

1Thus the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 showed^H7200 me: and, behold, he formed^H3335 locusts^H1462 in the beginning^H8462 of the shooting up^H5927 of the latter growth^H3954; and, lo, it was the latter growth^H3954 after^H310 the king's^H4428 mowings^H1488. 2And it came to pass that, when they made an end^H3615 of eating^H398 the grass^H6212 of the land^H776, then I said^H559, O Lord^H136 Jehovah^H136, forgive^H5545, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob^H3290 stand^H6965? for he is small^H6996. 3Jehovah^H3068 repented^H5162 concerning this: It shall not be, saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068. 4Thus the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 showed^H7200 me: and, behold, the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069 called^H7121 to contend^H7378 by fire^H784; and it devoured^H398 the great^H7227 deep^H8415, and would have eaten up^H398 the land^H2506. 5Then said^H559 I, O Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069, cease^H2308, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob^H3290 stand^H6965? for he is small^H6996. 6Jehovah^H3068 repented^H5162 concerning this: this also shall not be, saith^H559 the Lord^H136 Jehovah^H3069. 7Thus he showed^H7200 me: and, behold, the Lord^H136 stood^H5324 beside a wall^H2346 made by a plumb-line^H594, with a plumb-line^H594 in his hand^H3027. 8And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Amos^H5986, what seest^H7200 thou? And I said^H559, A plumb-line^H594. Then said^H559 the Lord^H136, Behold, I will set^H7760 a plumb-line^H594 in the midst^H7130 of my people^H5971 Israel^H3478; I will not again^H3254 pass by^H5674 them any more; 9and the high places^H1116 of Isaac^H3446 shall be desolate^H8074, and the sanctuaries^H4720 of Israel^H3478 shall be laid waste^H2717; and I will rise^H6965 against the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379 with the sword^H2719. 10Then Amaziah^H558 the priest^H3548 of Beth-el^H1008 sent^H7971 to Jeroboam^H3379 king^H4428 of Israel^H3478, saying^H559, Amos^H5986 hath conspired^H7194 against thee in the midst^H7130 of the house^H1004 of Israel^H3478: the land^H776 is not able^H3201 to bear^H3557 all his words^H1697. 11For thus Amos^H5986 saith^H559, Jeroboam^H3379 shall die^H4191 by the sword^H2719, and Israel^H3478 shall surely^H1540 be led away captive^H1540 out of his land^H127. 12Also Amaziah^H558 said^H559 unto Amos^H5986, O thou seer^H2374, go^H3212, flee thou away^H1272 into the land^H776 of Judah^H3063, and there eat^H398 bread^H3899, and prophesy^H5012 there: 13but prophesy^H5012 not again^H3254 any more at Beth-el^H1008; for it is the king's^H4428 sanctuary^H4720, and it is a royal^H4467 house^H1004. 14Then answered^H6030 Amos^H5986, and said^H559 to Amaziah^H558, I was no prophet^H5030, neither was I a prophet's^H5030 son^H1121; but I was a herdsman^H951, and a dresser^H1103 of sycomore-trees^H8256: 15and Jehovah^H3068 took^H3947 me from following^H310 the flock^H6629, and Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Go^H3212, prophesy^H5012 unto my people^H5971 Israel^H3478. 16Now therefore hear^H8085 thou the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068: Thou sayest^H559, Prophesy^H5012 not against Israel^H3478, and drop^H5197 not thy word against the house^H1004 of Isaac^H3446; 17therefore thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068: Thy wife^H802 shall be a harlot^H2181 in the city^H5892, and thy sons^H1121 and thy daughters^H1323 shall fall^H5307 by the sword^H2719, and thy land^H127 shall be divided^H2505 by line^H2256; and thou thyself shalt die^H4191 in^H5921 a land^H127 that is unclean^H2931, and Israel^H3478 shall surely^H1540 be led away captive^H1540 out of his land^H127.
