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 king's
mowings.
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.

The LORD
repented
for this: It shall not be, saith

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.
Then said
I, O Lord
GOD,
cease,
I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob
arise?
for he is small.
The LORD
repented
for this: This also shall not be, saith
the Lord
GOD.
Thus he shewed
me: and, behold, the Lord
stood
upon a wall
made by a plumbline,
with a plumbline
in his hand.
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:

And the high places

and I will rise
against the house
of Jeroboam
with the sword.

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.

For thus Amos
saith,
Jeroboam
shall die
by the sword,
and Israel
shall surely
be led away captive
out of their own land.
Also Amaziah
said
unto Amos,
O thou seer,
go,
flee thee away
into the land
of Judah,
and there eat
bread,
and prophesy
there:
But prophesy
not again
any more at Bethel:
for it is the king's
chapel,
and it is the king's
court.
Then answered
Amos,
and said
to Amaziah,
I was no prophet,
neither was I a prophet's
son;
but I was an herdman,
and a gatherer
of sycomore fruit:

And the LORD
took
me as I followed
the flock,
and the LORD
said
unto me, Go,
prophesy
unto my people
Israel.
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.
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.
