[1]Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200[H8689] unto me; and, behold, he formedH3335[H8802] grasshoppersH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927[H8800] of the latter growthH3954; and, lo, it was the latter growthH3954 afterH310 the king'sH4428 mowingsH1488.
[2]And it came to pass, that when they had made an endH3615[H8765] of eatingH398[H8800] the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559[H8799], O LordH136 GODH3069, forgiveH5545[H8798], I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965[H8799]? for he is smallH6996.
[3]The LORDH3068 repentedH5162[H8738] for this: It shall not be, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068.
[4]Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200[H8689] unto me: and, behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 calledH7121[H8802] to contendH7378[H8800] by fireH784, and it devouredH398[H8799] the greatH7227 deepH8415, and did eat upH398[H8804] a partH2506.
[5]Then saidH559[H8799] I, O LordH136 GODH3069, ceaseH2308[H8798], I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965[H8799]? for he is smallH6996.
[6]The LORDH3068 repentedH5162[H8738] for this: This also shall not be, saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069.
[7]Thus he shewedH7200[H8689] me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324[H8737] upon a wallH2346 made by a plumblineH594, with a plumblineH594 in his handH3027.
[8]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200[H8802] thou? And I saidH559[H8799], A plumblineH594. Then saidH559[H8799] the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760[H8802] a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254[H8686] pass byH5674 them any moreH8800:
[9]And the high placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074[H8738], and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid wasteH2717[H8799]; and I will riseH6965[H8804] against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.
[10]Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of BethelH1008 sentH7971[H8799] to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559[H8800], AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194[H8804] against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201[H8799] to bearH3557[H8687] all his wordsH1697.
[11]For thus AmosH5986 saithH559[H8804], JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191[H8799] by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540[H8800] be led away captiveH1540[H8799] out of their own landH127.
[12]Also AmaziahH558 saidH559[H8799] unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, goH3212[H8798], flee thee awayH1272[H8798] into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398[H8798] breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 thereH8735:
[13]But prophesyH5012[H8736] not againH3254[H8686] any more at BethelH1008: for it is the king'sH4428 chapelH4720, and it is the king'sH4467 courtH1004.
[14]Then answeredH6030[H8799] AmosH5986, and saidH559[H8799] to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet'sH5030 sonH1121; but I was an herdmanH951, and a gathererH1103[H8802] of sycomore fruitH8256:
[15]And the LORDH3068 tookH3947[H8799] me as I followedH310 the flockH6629, and the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto me, GoH3212[H8798], prophesyH5012[H8734] unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478.
[16]Now therefore hearH8085[H8798] thou the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: Thou sayestH559[H8802], ProphesyH5012[H8735] not against IsraelH3478, and dropH5197[H8686] not thy word against the houseH1004 of IsaacH3446.
[17]Therefore thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068; Thy wifeH802 shall be an harlotH2181[H8799] in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307[H8799] by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505[H8792] by lineH2256; and thou shalt dieH4191[H8799] inH5921 a pollutedH2931 landH127: and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540[H8800] go into captivityH1540[H8799] forth of his landH127.
