| [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. |
[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 in the latter growth after the king's mowing. |
| [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. |
[2]And when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, spare, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small. |
| [3]The LORDH3068 repentedH5162[H8738] for this: It shall not be, saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068. |
[3]So the Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord. |
| [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. |
[4]Thus also hath the Lord God showed unto me, and behold, the Lord God called to judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part. |
| [5]Then saidH559[H8799] I, O LordH136 GODH3069, ceaseH2308[H8798], I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965[H8799]? for he is smallH6996. |
[5]Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small. |
| [6]The LORDH3068 repentedH5162[H8738] for this: This also shall not be, saithH559[H8804] the LordH136 GODH3069. |
[6]So the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord God. |
| [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. |
[7]Thus again he showed me, and behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by line with a line in his hand. |
| [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: |
[8]And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a line in the midst of my people Israel, and will pass by them no more. |
| [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. |
[9]And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the temples of Israel shall be destroyed: and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. |
| [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. |
[10]Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el 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. |
| [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. |
[11]For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive out of their own land. |
| [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: |
[12]Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou the Seer, go, flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat thy bread and prophesy there. |
| [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. |
[13]But prophesy no more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. |
| [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: |
[14]Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son, but I was an herdsman, and a gatherer of wild figs. |
| [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. |
[15]And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. |
| [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. |
[16]Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord. Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and speak nothing against the house of Isaac. |
| [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. |
[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. |
