1 Thus hath the Lord 136 GOD 3069 shewed 7200 unto me; and, behold, he formed 3335 grasshoppers 1462 in the beginning 8462 of the shooting up 5927 of the latter growth 3954; and, lo, it was the latter growth 3954 after 310 the king's 4428 mowings 1488.
2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end 3615 of eating 398 the grass 6212 of the land 776, then I said 559, O Lord 136 GOD 3069, forgive 5545, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob 3290 arise 6965? for he is small 6996.
3 The LORD 3068 repented 5162 for this: It shall not be, saith 559 the LORD 3068.
4 Thus hath the Lord 136 GOD 3069 shewed 7200 unto me: and, behold, the Lord 136 GOD 3069 called 7121 to contend 7378 by fire 784, and it devoured 398 the great 7227 deep 8415, and did eat up 398 a part 2506.
5 Then said 559 I, O Lord 136 GOD 3069, cease 2308, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob 3290 arise 6965? for he is small 6996.
6 The LORD 3068 repented 5162 for this: This also shall not be, saith 559 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.
7 Thus he shewed 7200 me: and, behold, the Lord 136 stood 5324 upon a wall 2346 made by a plumbline 594, with a plumbline 594 in his hand 3027.
8 And the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Amos 5986, what seest 7200 thou? And I said 559, A plumbline 594. Then said 559 the Lord 136, Behold, I will set 7760 a plumbline 594 in the midst 7130 of my people 5971 Israel 3478: I will not again 3254 pass by 5674 them any more:
9 And the high places 1116 of Isaac 3446 shall be desolate 8074, and the sanctuaries 4720 of Israel 3478 shall be laid waste 2717; and I will rise 6965 against the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379 with the sword 2719.
10 Then Amaziah 558 the priest 3548 of Bethel 1008 sent 7971 to Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478, saying 559, Amos 5986 hath conspired 7194 against thee in the midst 7130 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478: the land 776 is not able 3201 to bear 3557 all his words 1697.
11 For thus Amos 5986 saith 559, Jeroboam 3379 shall die 4191 by the sword 2719, and Israel 3478 shall surely 1540 be led away captive 1540 out of their own land 127.
12 Also Amaziah 558 said 559 unto Amos 5986, O thou seer 2374, go 3212, flee thee away 1272 into the land 776 of Judah 3063, and there eat 398 bread 3899, and prophesy 5012 there:
13 But prophesy 5012 not again 3254 any more at Bethel 1008: for it is the king's 4428 chapel 4720, and it is the king's 4467 court 1004.
14 Then answered 6030 Amos 5986, and said 559 to Amaziah 558, I was no prophet 5030, neither was I a prophet's 5030 son 1121; but I was an herdman 951, and a gatherer 1103 of sycomore fruit 8256:
15 And the LORD 3068 took 3947 me as I followed 310 the flock 6629, and the LORD 3068 said 559 unto me, Go 3212, prophesy 5012 unto my people 5971 Israel 3478.
16 Now therefore hear 8085 thou the word 1697 of the LORD 3068: Thou sayest 559, Prophesy 5012 not against Israel 3478, and drop 5197 not thy word against the house 1004 of Isaac 3446.
17 Therefore thus saith 559 the LORD 3068; Thy wife 802 shall be an harlot 2181 in the city 5892, and thy sons 1121 and thy daughters 1323 shall fall 5307 by the sword 2719, and thy land 127 shall be divided 2505 by line 2256; and thou shalt die 4191 in 5921 a polluted 2931 land 127: and Israel 3478 shall surely 1540 go into captivity 1540 forth of his land 127.
