Book 30 Amos Chapter 007

 

007:001Thus 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.

 

007:002And 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.

 

007:003The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

 

007:004Thus 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.

 

007:005Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall
Jacob arise? for he is small.

 

007:006The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the
Lord GOD.

 

007:007Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall
made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

 

007:008And 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:

 

007:009And 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.

 

007:010Then 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.

 

007:011For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and
Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

 

007:012Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away
into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy
there:

 

007:013But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the
king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

 

007:014Then 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:

 

007:015And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD
said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

 

007:016Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest,
Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the
house of Isaac.

 

007:017Therefore 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.
