King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
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 .
Thus hath the Lord Jehovah
shewed me, and
lo
, He is
forming
locusts
at
the beginning of the ascending
of the latter growth, and
lo, the latter growth `is'
after the mowings of
the
king;
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 .
and it hath
come
to pass, when it
hath
finished
to
consume
the herb
of the land, that
I say:
`
Lord Jehovah
, forgive, I pray
Thee ,
How
doth
Jacob arise --
for he `
is '
small ?'
The
LORD
repented for
this :
It shall not be, saith
the
LORD
.
Jehovah
hath
repented of
this ,
`
It shall not be, '
said
Jehovah
.
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.
Thus hath the Lord Jehovah
shewed me, and
lo
, the Lord Jehovah
is
calling
to contend by fire, and it consumeth
the great deep, yea,
it
hath
consumed
the
portion,
and I
say:
Then
said
I,
O
Lord GOD
, cease, I beseech
thee :
by
whom
shall
Jacob arise ?
for he is small .
`
Lord Jehovah
, cease, I pray
Thee ,
How
doth
Jacob arise --
for he `
is '
small ?'
The
LORD
repented for
this:
This also shall not be, saith
the Lord GOD
.
Jehovah
hath
repented of
this ,
`It
also shall not be, '
said
the Lord Jehovah
.
Thus he shewed me :
and
, behold
, the LORD stood
upon
a wall made by
a plumbline
, with
a
plumbline
in his hand .
Thus hath
He shewed me, and
lo
, the Lord is
standing
by
a wall `
made according
to'
a plumb-line
, and
in His hand a
plumb-line;
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 :
and Jehovah
saith
unto me, `
What art
thou seeing,
Amos
? '
And I say
, `
A plumb-line;'
and
the Lord saith:
`Lo
, I am
setting
a plumb-line
in the midst of My people Israel ,
I do
not add
any more to
pass
over
to
it.
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.
And desolated
have
been
high places of Isaac, And sanctuaries of Israel are
wasted,
And I have
risen
against the house of Jeroboam with a
sword. '
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 .
And
Amaziah priest of Beth-El
sendeth
unto
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 ,
For thus Amos saith,
Jeroboam
shall
die
by the
sword, and Israel shall
surely
be
led
away
captive
out
of
their
own
land.
for thus said
Amos :
By sword die
doth
Jeroboam
, And Israel certainly
removeth
from
off
its
land. '
Also
Amaziah said
unto Amos, O
thou
seer, go ,
flee thee away
into
the land of Judah, and there
eat bread, and prophesy
there :
And
Amaziah saith
unto Amos, `
Seer, go flee for
thee unto
the land of Judah, and eat there
bread, and there thou
dost
prophesy;
But
prophesy
not again
any more at
Bethel:
for it is the king's chapel
, and it is the king's
court
.
and
`at'
Beth-El
do
not add
to
prophesy
any more ,
for it `
is '
the king's sanctuary
, and it `
is '
the royal
house
. '
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:
And
Amos answereth
and saith
unto
Amaziah, `
I `am'
no prophet, nor
a prophet's son `am'
I,
but a
herdsman
I `am'
, and a cultivator
of sycamores,
And the
LORD
took
me as
I
followed
the flock, and the
LORD
said
unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
and Jehovah
taketh
me from
after
the flock, and Jehovah
saith
unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.
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 .
And
now ,
hear a
word of Jehovah
: thou art
saying
, Do
not prophesy
against Israel, nor
drop `any
thing'
against the house of Isaac ,
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.
therefore thus said
Jehovah:
Thy wife in the city doth
go
a-whoring
, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do
fall
, And thy land by line is
apportioned,
And thou on
an
unclean
land diest,
And Israel certainly
removeth
from
off
its
land. '
