Amos 7

  1. Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed 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 king2019s mowings. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  3. The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. 🔗
  4. Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part. 🔗
  5. Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 🔗
  6. The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD. 🔗
  7. Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. 🔗
  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: 🔗
  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. 🔗
  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. 🔗
  11. For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. 🔗
  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: 🔗
  13. But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king2019s chapel, and it is the king2019s court. 🔗
  14. Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet2019s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit: 🔗
  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 hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac. 🔗
  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. 🔗
