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.
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
The LORD 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
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 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 house of Jeroboam with the sword.
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.
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 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
Bethel
: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
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:
15
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, 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
Israel
shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
