King James Version
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;
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 .
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 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 .
Jehovah
hath
repented of
this ,
`
It shall not be, '
said
Jehovah
.
The
LORD
repented for
this :
It shall not be, saith
the
LORD
.
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:
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.
`
Lord Jehovah
, cease, I pray
Thee ,
How
doth
Jacob arise --
for he `
is '
small ?'
Then
said
I,
O
Lord GOD
, cease, I beseech
thee :
by
whom
shall
Jacob arise ?
for he is small .
Jehovah
hath
repented of
this ,
`It
also shall not be, '
said
the Lord Jehovah
.
The
LORD
repented for
this :
This
also shall not be, saith
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;
Thus he shewed me :
and, behold,
the LORD stood
upon
a wall made by
a plumbline
, with
a
plumbline
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.
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 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. '
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
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
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 .
for thus said
Amos :
By sword die
doth
Jeroboam
, And Israel certainly
removeth
from
off
its
land. '
For thus Amos saith,
Jeroboam
shall
die
by the
sword, and Israel shall
surely
be
led
away
captive
out
of
their
own
land.
And
Amaziah saith
unto Amos, `
Seer, go flee for
thee unto
the land of Judah, and eat
there bread, and there
thou
dost
prophesy ;
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
`at'
Beth-El
do
not
add
to
prophesy any more ,
for it `
is '
the king's sanctuary
, and it `
is '
the royal
house
. '
But
prophesy not
again
any more at
Bethel:
for it is the king's chapel
, and it is the king's
court
.
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,
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 Jehovah
taketh
me from
after
the flock, and Jehovah
saith
unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Israel.
And the
LORD
took
me as
I
followed
the flock, and the
LORD
said
unto me, Go, prophesy unto 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 thou
the
word of the
LORD
: Thou sayest
, Prophesy not
against Israel, and
drop not
thy
word
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 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.
