Amos 7:1
|
|
Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold,
he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and,
lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings. |
|
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:2
|
|
And it came to pass that, when they made an
end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech
thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. |
| |
|
|
|
Amos 7:3
|
|
Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not
be, saith Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
|
Amos 7:4
|
|
Thus
the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, the Lord Jehovah called to content by
fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land. |
| |
|
|
|
Amos 7:5
|
|
Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech
thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small. |
| |
|
|
|
Amos 7:6
|
|
Jehovah repented concerning this: this also
shall not be, saith the Lord Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
|
Amos 7:7
|
|
Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood
beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand. |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:8
|
|
And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou?
And I said, A plumb-line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb-line
in the midst of my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more; |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:9
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:10
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:11
|
|
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the
sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land. |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:12
|
|
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go,
flee thou away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
|
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:13
|
|
but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el;
for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house. |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:14
|
|
Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was
no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a dresser
of sycomore-trees: |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:15
|
|
and Jehovah took me from following the flock,
and Jehovah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:16
|
|
Now therefore hear thou the word of Jehovah:
Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house
of Isaac; |
|
|
|
|
Amos 7:17
|
|
therefore thus saith Jehovah: Thy wife shall
be a 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 thyself shalt die in a land that
is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land. |
