AMO 7:1
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 king's mowings. |
|
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:2
Amos 7:2
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
AMO 7:3
Amos 7:3
|
|
The LORD repented for this: It shall not be,
saith the LORD. |
| |
|
|
|
AMO 7:4
Amos 7:4
|
|
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. |
| |
|
|
|
AMO 7:5
Amos 7:5
|
|
Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee:
by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. |
| |
|
|
|
AMO 7:6

|
|
The LORD repented for this: This also shall
not be, saith the Lord God. |
| |
|
|
|
AMO 7:7
Amos 7:7
|

Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood
upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:8
Amos 7:8
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:9
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. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:10
Amos 7:10
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:11
Amos 7:11
|
|
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the
sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:12
Amos 7:12
|
|
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go,
flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:13
Amos 7:13
|
|
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for
it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:14
Amos 7:14
|
|
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: |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:15
Amos 7:15
|
|
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock,
and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:16
Amos 7:16
|
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
AMO 7:17
Amos 7:17
|
|
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. |
