1 H136 Thus hath the Lord H3069 GOD H7200 shewed [H8689] H3335 unto me; and, behold, he formed [H8802] H1462 grasshoppers H8462 in the beginning H5927 of the shooting up [H8800] H3954 of the latter growth H3954 ; and, lo, it was the latter growth H310 after H4428 the king's H1488 mowings. 2 H3615 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end [H8765] H398 of eating [H8800] H6212 the grass H776 of the land H559 , then I said [H8799] H136 , O Lord H3069 GOD H5545 , forgive [H8798] H3290 , I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob H6965 arise [H8799] H6996 ? for he is small. 3 H3068 The LORD H5162 repented [H8738] H559 for this: It shall not be, saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD. 4 H136 Thus hath the Lord H3069 GOD H7200 shewed [H8689] H136 unto me: and, behold, the Lord H3069 GOD H7121 called [H8802] H7378 to contend [H8800] H784 by fire H398 , and it devoured [H8799] H7227 the great H8415 deep H398 , and did eat up [H8804] H2506 a part. 5 H559 Then said [H8799] H136 I, O Lord H3069 GOD H2308 , cease [H8798] H3290 , I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob H6965 arise [H8799] H6996 ? for he is small. 6 H3068 The LORD H5162 repented [H8738] H559 for this: This also shall not be, saith [H8804] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD. 7 H7200 Thus he shewed [H8689] H136 me: and, behold, the Lord H5324 stood [H8737] H2346 upon a wall H594 made by a plumbline H594 , with a plumbline H3027 in his hand. 8 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799] H5986 unto me, Amos H7200 , what seest [H8802] H559 thou? And I said [H8799] H594 , A plumbline H559 . Then said [H8799] H136 the Lord H7760 , Behold, I will set [H8802] H594 a plumbline H7130 in the midst H5971 of my people H3478 Israel H3254 : I will not again [H8686] H5674 pass by [H8800] them any more: 9 H1116 And the high places H3446 of Isaac H8074 shall be desolate [H8738] H4720 , and the sanctuaries H3478 of Israel H2717 shall be laid waste [H8799] H6965 ; and I will rise [H8804] H1004 against the house H3379 of Jeroboam H2719 with the sword. 10 H558 Then Amaziah H3548 the priest H1008 of Bethel H7971 sent [H8799] H3379 to Jeroboam H4428 king H3478 of Israel H559 , saying [H8800] H5986 , Amos H7194 hath conspired [H8804] H7130 against thee in the midst H1004 of the house H3478 of Israel H776 : the land H3201 is not able [H8799] H3557 to bear [H8687] H1697 all his words. 11 H5986 For thus Amos H559 saith [H8804] H3379 , Jeroboam H4191 shall die [H8799] H2719 by the sword H3478 , and Israel H1540 shall surely [H8800] H1540 be led away captive [H8799] H127 out of their own land. 12 H558 Also Amaziah H559 said [H8799] H5986 unto Amos H2374 , O thou seer H3212 , go [H8798] H1272 , flee thee away [H8798] H776 into the land H3063 of Judah H398 , and there eat [H8798] H3899 bread H5012 , and prophesy [H8735] there: 13 H5012 But prophesy [H8736] H3254 not again [H8686] H1008 any more at Bethel H4428 : for it is the king's H4720 chapel H4467 , and it is the king's H1004 court. 14 H6030 Then answered [H8799] H5986 Amos H559 , and said [H8799] H558 to Amaziah H5030 , I was no prophet H5030 , neither was I a prophet's H1121 son H951 ; but I was an herdman H1103 , and a gatherer [H8802] H8256 of sycomore fruit: 15 H3068 And the LORD H3947 took [H8799] H310 me as I followed H6629 the flock H3068 , and the LORD H559 said [H8799] H3212 unto me, Go [H8798] H5012 , prophesy [H8734] H5971 unto my people H3478 Israel. 16 H8085 Now therefore hear [H8798] H1697 thou the word H3068 of the LORD H559 : Thou sayest [H8802] H5012 , Prophesy [H8735] H3478 not against Israel H5197 , and drop [H8686] H1004 not thy word against the house H3446 of Isaac. 17 H559 Therefore thus saith [H8804] H3068 the LORD H802 ; Thy wife H2181 shall be an harlot [H8799] H5892 in the city H1121 , and thy sons H1323 and thy daughters H5307 shall fall [H8799] H2719 by the sword H127 , and thy land H2505 shall be divided [H8792] H2256 by line H4191 ; and thou shalt die [H8799] H5921 in H2931 a polluted H127 land H3478 : and Israel H1540 shall surely [H8800] H1540 go into captivity [H8799] H127 forth of his land. |
