Amos 7
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.
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.
3
a
The
Lord
b
repented
for
this:
It
shall
not
be,
saith
the
Lord.
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.
5 Then
said
I,
O
Lord
God,
cease,
I
beseech
thee:
by
whom
shall
Jacob
arise?
for
he
is
small.
6
a
The
Lord
repented
for
this:
This
also
shall
not
be,
saith
the
Lord
God.
7 Thus
he
shewed
me:
and,
behold,
the
Lord
stood
upon
a
wall
made
by
a
plumbline,
with
a
plumbline
in
his
hand.
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
a
pass
by
them
any
more:
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
a
house
of
Jeroboam
with
the
sword.
10 Then
Amaziah
the
priest
of
Beth-el
sent
to
a
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.
11 For
thus
Amos
saith,
Jeroboam
shall
die
by
the
sword,
and
Israel
shall
surely
be
led
away
captive
out
of
their
own
land.
12 Also
Amaziah
said
unto
Amos,
O
thou
a
seer,
go,
flee
thee
away
into
the
land
of
Judah,
and
there
eat
bread,
and
prophesy
there:
13 But
prophesy
not
again
any
more
at
Beth-el:
for
it
is
the
king's
a
chapel,
and
it
is
the
king's
court.
14 Then
answered
Amos,
and
said
to
Amaziah,
I
was
no
a
prophet,
neither
was
I
a
prophet's
son;
but
I
was
an
herdman,
and
a
gatherer
of
sycomore
fruit:
15 And
the
Lord
took
me
as
I
followed
the
flock,
and
the
a
Lord
said
unto
me,
b
Go,
c
prophesy
unto
my
people
Israel.
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.
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
a
Israel
shall
surely
go
into
captivity
forth
of
his
land.
