Amos 7 (ESV) English Standard Version

1 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, "O Lord GOD, please forgive! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"
3 The LORD relented concerning this; "It shall not be," said the LORD.
4 This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.
5 Then I said, "O Lord GOD, please cease! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"
6 The LORD relented concerning this; "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
7 This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them;
9 the high places of Isaac shall be made 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 has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
11 For thus Amos has said, "' Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.'"
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there,
13 but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."
14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, "I was no prophet, nor a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs.
15 But the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
16 Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. "You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'
17 Therefore thus says the LORD: "' Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided up with a measuring line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.'"
1 Thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 GOD H3069 showed H7200 unto me; and, behold, H2009 he formed H3335 grasshoppers H1462 in the beginning H8462 of the shooting up H5927 of the latter growth; H3954 and, lo, H2009 it was the latter growth H3954 after H310 the king's H4428 mowings. H1488
2 And it came to pass, H1961 that when H518 they had made an end H3615 of eating H398 H853 the grass H6212 of the land, H776 then I said, H559 O Lord H136 GOD, H3069 forgive, H5545 I beseech thee: H4994 by whom H4310 shall Jacob H3290 arise H6965 ? for H3588 he H1931 is small. H6996
3 The LORD H3068 repented H5162 for H5921 this: H2063 It shall not H3808 be, H1961 saith H559 the LORD. H3068
4 Thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 GOD H3069 showed H7200 unto me: and, behold, H2009 the Lord H136 GOD H3069 called H7121 to contend H7378 by fire, H784 and it devoured H398 H853 the great H7227 deep, H8415 and did eat up H398 H853 a part. H2506
5 Then said H559 I , O Lord H136 GOD, H3069 cease, H2308 I beseech thee: H4994 by whom H4310 shall Jacob H3290 arise H6965 ? for H3588 he H1931 is small. H6996
6 The LORD H3068 repented H5162 for H5921 this: H2063 This H1931 also H1571 shall not H3808 be, H1961 saith H559 the Lord H136 GOD. H3069
7 Thus H3541 he showed H7200 me: and, behold, H2009 the Lord H136 stood H5324 upon H5921 a wall H2346 made by a plumb line, H594 with a plumb line H594 in his hand. H3027
8 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Amos, H5986 what H4100 seest H7200 thou H859 ? And I said, H559 A plumb line. H594 Then said H559 the Lord, H136 Behold, H2009 I will set H7760 a plumb line H594 in the midst H7130 of my people H5971 Israel: H3478 I will not H3808 again H3254 pass H5674 by them any more: H5750
9 And the high places H1116 of Isaac H3446 shall be desolate, H8074 and the sanctuaries H4720 of Israel H3478 shall be laid waste; H2717 and I will rise H6965 against H5921 the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 with the sword. H2719
10 Then Amaziah H558 the priest H3548 of Bethel H1008 sent H7971 to H413 Jeroboam H3379 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Amos H5986 hath conspired H7194 against H5921 thee in the midst H7130 of the house H1004 of Israel: H3478 the land H776 is not able H3201 H3808 to bear H3557 H853 all H3605 his words. H1697
11 For H3588 thus H3541 Amos H5986 saith, H559 Jeroboam H3379 shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 and Israel H3478 shall surely be led away captive H1540 H1540 out of H4480 H5921 their own land. H127
12 Also Amaziah H558 said H559 unto H413 Amos, H5986 O thou seer, H2374 go, H1980 flee thee away H1272 into H413 the land H776 of Judah, H3063 and there H8033 eat H398 bread, H3899 and prophesy H5012 there: H8033
13 But prophesy H5012 not H3808 again H3254 any more H5750 at Bethel: H1008 for H3588 it H1931 is the king's H4428 chapel, H4720 and it H1931 is the king's H4467 court. H1004
14 Then answered H6030 Amos, H5986 and said H559 to H413 Amaziah, H558 I H595 was no H3808 prophet, H5030 neither H3808 was I H595 a prophet's H5030 son; H1121 but H3588 I H595 was a herdsman, H951 and a gatherer H1103 of sycamore fruit: H8256
15 And the LORD H3068 took H3947 me as I followed H4480 H310 the flock, H6629 and the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Go, H1980 prophesy H5012 unto H413 my people H5971 Israel. H3478
16 Now H6258 therefore hear H8085 thou the word H1697 of the LORD: H3068 Thou H859 sayest, H559 Prophesy H5012 not H3808 against H5921 Israel, H3478 and drop H5197 not H3808 thy word against H5921 the house H1004 of Isaac. H3446
17 Therefore H3651 thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD; H3068 Thy wife H802 shall be a harlot H2181 in the city, H5892 and thy sons H1121 and thy daughters H1323 shall fall H5307 by the sword, H2719 and thy land H127 shall be divided H2505 by line; H2256 and thou H859 shalt die H4191 in H5921 a polluted H2931 land: H127 and Israel H3478 shall surely go into captivity H1540 H1540 forth of H4480 H5921 his land. H127
