Amos 7

Amos 7:1	Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there He was, forming locusts in the beginning of the springing up of the spring crop; and it was the spring crop after the king's mowings.
Amos 7:2	And when [their] eating of the herbage of the land was complete, I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech You! How will Jacob stand, for he is small?
Amos 7:3	Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah.
Amos 7:4	Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me, and there the Lord Jehovah was, calling to contend [with them] with fire; and it devoured the great deep, and it devoured the land.
Amos 7:5	Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, Stop, I beseech You! How will Jacob stand, for he is small?
Amos 7:6	Jehovah repented concerning this: This also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.
Amos 7:7	Thus He showed me, and there the Lord was, standing upon a perfectly plumbed wall; and in His hand was a plumb line.
Amos 7:8	And Jehovah said to me, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said, I am now setting a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass them by anymore.
Amos 7:9	And the high places of Isaac will be desolated, / And the sanctuaries of Israel will be made waste; / And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a sword.
Amos 7:10	Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent [word] to Jeroboam the king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to endure all his words.
Amos 7:11	For thus says Amos, By the sword Jeroboam will die, and Israel will surely go into captivity out from its land.
Amos 7:12	Then Amaziah said to Amos, Go, you seer; flee into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;
Amos 7:13	But in Bethel you shall not ever prophesy again, for it is the king's sanctuary and it is the royal residence.
Amos 7:14	Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, nor am I the son of a prophet; rather I am a herdsman and a dresser of sycamores.
Amos 7:15	And Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.
Amos 7:16	And now hear the word of Jehovah: You say, You shall not prophesy against Israel, nor shall you speak against the house of Isaac.
Amos 7:17	Therefore thus says Jehovah, / Your wife will go about as a harlot in the city, / And your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, / And your land will be divided by the line, / And you yourself will die in a land that is unclean; / And Israel will indeed go into captivity / Out from its land.
