Amos|7:1|-|Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there He was, forming |1a|locusts in the beginning of the springing up of the spring crop; and it was the spring crop after the king’s mowings.
Amos|7:2|-|And when their eating of the herbage of the land was complete, I said, |1|O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech You! |a|How will Jacob stand, for he is small?
Amos|7:3|-|Jehovah |a|repented concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah.
Amos|7:4|-|Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there the Lord Jehovah was, calling to contend with them with |a|fire; and it devoured the great deep, and it devoured the land.
Amos|7:5|-|Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, Stop, I beseech You! |a|How will Jacob stand, for he is small?
Amos|7:6|-|Jehovah repented concerning this: This also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.
Amos|7:7|-|Thus He showed me, and there the Lord was, standing upon a perfectly plumbed wall; and in His hand was a |1a|plumb line.
Amos|7:8|-|And Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said, I am now setting a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass them by anymore.
Amos|7:9|-|And the |1a|high places of Isaac will be desolated,And the |1|sanctuaries of Israel will be made waste;
And I will rise up against the house of |b|Jeroboam with a |c|sword.
Amos|7:10|-|Then Amaziah the |1|priest of Bethel sent word to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to endure all his words.
Amos|7:11|-|For thus says Amos, By the sword Jeroboam will die, and Israel will surely go into |a|captivity out from its land.
Amos|7:12|-|Then Amaziah said to Amos, Go, you seer; flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;
Amos|7:13|-|But in |a|Bethel you shall not ever prophesy again, for it is the king’s sanctuary and it is the royal residence.
Amos|7:14|-|Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; rather I am a |a|herdsman and a dresser of sycamores.
Amos|7:15|-|And Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
Amos|7:16|-|And now hear the word of Jehovah: You say, You shall not prophesy against Israel, nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac.
Amos|7:17|-|Therefore thus says Jehovah,Your wife will go about as a harlot in the city,
And your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword,And your land will be divided by the line,
And you yourself will die in a land that is unclean;And Israel will indeed go into captivity
Out from its land.
