Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation

Berean Standard Bible
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;
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
showed
me :
He was
preparing
swarms
of locusts
just
after the king’s
harvest,
as
the late
spring
crop
was
coming
up.
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? '
And when the locusts
had
eaten
every
green
plant
in
the land, I said,
“
Lord GOD
, please
forgive !
How will
Jacob survive,
since
he is so
small? ”
Jehovah
hath
repented
of
this ,
`
It shall
not be
, '
said Jehovah
.
So
the
LORD
relented
from
this plan.
“
It will
not happen
, ”
He
said.
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:
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
showed
me :
The Lord GOD
was
calling for
judgment
by fire .
It consumed
the great deep and devoured
the
land.
`Lord
Jehovah,
cease,
I pray
Thee
, How doth
Jacob arise
--
for
he `
is '
small? '
Then
I said
, “Lord
GOD,
please
stop!
How will
Jacob survive,
since
he is so
small? ”
Jehovah
hath
repented
of
this ,
`
It also
shall
not be
, '
said the Lord Jehovah
.
So
the
LORD
relented
from
this plan.
“
It will
not happen
either
, ”
said the Lord GOD
.
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;
This
is
what
He showed
me :
Behold
, the Lord was
standing by a wall true
to plumb,
with
a plumb line in His hand .
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.
“Amos
, what do
you
see
? ”
asked
the
LORD.
“
A plumb line ,”
I
replied.
“Behold,”
said
the Lord, “
I am setting a plumb line among
My people Israel ;
I will
no
longer
spare
them:
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. '
The
high places of Isaac will
be
deserted
, and the
sanctuaries of Israel will
be
laid
waste;
and I will
rise
up
against the house of Jeroboam with My
sword. ”
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,
Then
Amaziah the
priest of Bethel
sent
word
to
Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “
Amos has
conspired against you
in the midst of the house of Israel .
The land cannot
bear all his words,
for thus
said
Amos: By sword die
doth
Jeroboam
, And Israel certainly
removeth
from off
its
land
. '
for this
is
what
Amos has
said
: ‘Jeroboam
will
die
by the
sword, and Israel will
surely
go
into
exile,
away
from their
homeland
. ’”
And Amaziah saith
unto
Amos, `Seer,
go flee for
thee
unto
the land of Judah ,
and
eat
there
bread ,
and there thou
dost
prophesy;
And Amaziah said
to
Amos, “
Go away,
you
seer!
Flee to
the land of Judah ;
earn
your
bread there
and do
your
prophesying
there .
and
`at'
Beth-El
do
not
add
to
prophesy any
more
, for
it `
is '
the king's
sanctuary ,
and it
`is'
the royal
house
. '
But
never
prophesy at
Bethel
again
, because
it is the sanctuary of
the
king
and the temple
of
the
kingdom
. ”
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,
“
I was
not
a
prophet, ”
Amos
replied,
“
nor was
I the
son
of
a
prophet;
rather
, I
was
a herdsman and a tender
of sycamore-fig
trees.
and
Jehovah
taketh
me from after
the flock ,
and Jehovah
saith
unto
me, Go, prophesy unto
My people Israel.
But
the
LORD
took
me from following
the flock and said
to
me, ‘
Go, prophesy to
My people Israel. ’
And
now, hear a
word of Jehovah
: thou
art
saying,
Do not prophesy against Israel ,
nor
drop
`any
thing'
against the house of Isaac ,
Now, therefore,
hear the
word of the
LORD.
You
say
: ‘
Do not prophesy against Israel ;
do
not
preach
against the house of Isaac .’
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
. '
Therefore this
is
what
the
LORD
says
: ‘Your
wife will
become
a
prostitute
in the city, and your
sons and daughters will
fall
by the
sword .
Your
land will
be
divided
by a
measuring
line, and you
yourself
will
die
on pagan
soil.
And Israel will
surely
go
into
exile,
away
from their
homeland
. ’”
