1
Thus
the Lord
GOD
showed
me, and behold,
He was forming
a locust-swarm
when the spring
crop
began
to sprout.
And behold,
the spring
crop
was after
the king's
mowing.
2
And it came
about, when
it had finished
eating
the vegetation
of the land,
that I said,
"Lord
GOD,
please
pardon!
How
can Jacob
stand,
For he is small?"
3
The LORD
changed His mind
about
this.
"It shall not be," said
the LORD.
4
Thus
the Lord
GOD
showed
me, and behold,
the Lord
GOD
was calling
to contend
with them by fire,
and it consumed
the great
deep
and began to consume
the farm land.
5
Then I said,
"Lord
GOD,
please
stop!
How
can Jacob
stand,
for he is small?"
6
The LORD
changed His mind
about
this.
"This
too
shall not be," said
the Lord
GOD.
7
Thus
He showed
me, and behold,
the Lord
was standing
by a vertical
wall
with a plumb line
in His hand.
8
The LORD
said
to me, "What
do you see,
Amos?"
And I
said
,
"A plumb
line."
Then the Lord
said
,
"Behold
I am about to put
a plumb line
In the midst
of My people
Israel.
I will spare
them no
longer.
9
"The high places
of Isaac
will be desolated
And the sanctuaries
of Israel
laid waste.
Then I will rise
up against
the house
of Jeroboam
with the sword."
10
Then Amaziah,
the priest
of Bethel,
sent
word to Jeroboam
king
of Israel,
saying,
"Amos
has conspired
against
you in the midst
of the house
of Israel;
the land
is unable
to endure
all
his words.
11
"For thus
Amos
says,
'Jeroboam
will die
by the sword
and Israel
will certainly
go
from its land
into exile.'"
12
Then Amaziah
said
to Amos,
"Go,
you seer,
flee
away to the land
of Judah
and there
eat
bread
and there
do your prophesying!
13
"But no
longer
prophesy
at Bethel,
for it is a sanctuary
of the king
and a royal
residence."
14
Then Amos
replied
to Amaziah,
"I am not a prophet,
nor
am I the son
of a prophet;
for I am a herdsman
and a grower
of sycamore
figs.
15
"But the LORD
took
me from following
the flock
and the LORD
said
to me, 'Go
prophesy
to My people
Israel.'
16
"Now
hear
the word
of the LORD:
you are saying,
'
You shall not prophesy
against
Israel
nor
shall you speak
against
the house
of Isaac.'
17
"Therefore,
thus
says
the LORD,
'
Your wife
will become a harlot
in the city,
your sons
and your daughters
will fall
by the sword,
your land
will be parceled
up by a measuring line
and you yourself
will die
upon unclean
soil.
Moreover, Israel
will certainly
go
from its land
into exile.'"
