1 T hus the LordH136 JehovahH3069 showedH7200 me: and, behold, he formedH3335 locustsH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927 of the latter growth;H3954 and, lo, it was the latter growthH3954 afterH310 the king'sH4428 mowings.H1488
2 And it came to pass that, when they made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the land,H776 then I said,H559 O LordH136 Jehovah,H136 forgive,H5545 I beseech thee: how shall JacobH3290 stand?H6965 for he is small.H6996
3 JehovahH3068 repentedH5162 concerning this: It shall not be, saithH559 Jehovah.H3068
4 Thus the LordH136 JehovahH3069 showedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 JehovahH3069 calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fire;H784 and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deep,H8415 and would have eaten upH398 the land.H2506
5 Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 Jehovah,H3069 cease,H2308 I beseech thee: how shall JacobH3290 stand?H6965 for he is small.H6996
6 JehovahH3068 repentedH5162 concerning this: this also shall not be, saithH559 the LordH136 Jehovah.H3069
7 Thus he showedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 beside a wallH2346 made by a plumb-line,H594 with a plumb-lineH594 in his hand.H3027
8 And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto me, Amos,H5986 what seestH7200 thou? And I said,H559 A plumb-line.H594 Then saidH559 the Lord,H136 Behold, I will setH7760 a plumb-lineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 Israel;H3478 I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more;
9 and the high placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolate,H8074 and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid waste;H2717 and I will riseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the sword.H2719
10 Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of Beth-elH1008 sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of Israel,H3478 saying,H559 AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194 against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of Israel:H3478 the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bearH3557 all his words.H1697
11 For thus AmosH5986 saith,H559 JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the sword,H2719 and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 be led away captiveH1540 out of his land.H127
12 Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto Amos,H5986 O thou seer,H2374 go,H3212 flee thou awayH1272 into the landH776 of Judah,H3063 and there eatH398 bread,H3899 and prophesyH5012 there:
13 but prophesyH5012 not againH3254 any more at Beth-el;H1008 for it is the king'sH4428 sanctuary,H4720 and it is a royalH4467 house.H1004
14 Then answeredH6030 Amos,H5986 and saidH559 to Amaziah,H558 I was no prophet,H5030 neither was I a prophet'sH5030 son;H1121 but I was a herdsman,H951 and a dresserH1103 of sycomore-trees:H8256
15 and JehovahH3068 tookH3947 me from followingH310 the flock,H6629 and JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto me, Go,H3212 prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 Israel.H3478
16 Now therefore hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of Jehovah:H3068 Thou sayest,H559 ProphesyH5012 not against Israel,H3478 and dropH5197 not [thy word] against the houseH1004 of Isaac;H3446
17 therefore thus saithH559 Jehovah:H3068 Thy wifeH802 shall be a harlotH2181 in the city,H5892 and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the sword,H2719 and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 by line;H2256 and thou thyself shalt dieH4191 inH5921 a landH127 that is unclean,H2931 and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 be led away captiveH1540 out of his land.H127
