1Thus^H3541 the Lord^H136 God^H3068 showed^H7200 me, and behold,^H2009 He was forming^H3335 a locust-swarm when the spring^H3954 crop^H3954 began^H8462 to sprout.^H5927 And behold,^H2009 the spring^H3954 crop^H3954 [was] after^H310 the king's mowing.^H1488
2And it came^H1961 about, when^H518 it had finished^H3615 eating^H398 the vegetation^H6212 of the land,^H776 that I said,^H559 "Lord^H136 God,^H3068 please^H4994 pardon!^H5545 How^H4310 can Jacob^H3290 stand,^H6965 For he is small^H9512?"
3The Lord^H3068 changed^H5162 His mind^H5162 about^H5921 this.^H2088 "It shall not be," said^H559 the Lord.^H3068
4Thus^H3541 the Lord^H136 God^H3068 showed^H7200 me, and behold,^H2009 the Lord^H136 God^H3068 was calling^H7121 to contend^H7378 [with them] by fire,^H784 and it consumed^H398 the great^H7227 deep^H8415 and began to consume^H398 the farm^H2506 land.^H2506
5Then I said,^H559 "Lord^H136 God,^H3068 please^H4994 stop!^H2308 How^H4310 can Jacob^H3290 stand,^H6965 for he is small^H9512?"
6The Lord^H3068 changed^H5162 His mind^H5162 about^H5921 this.^H2088 "This^H1931 too^H1571 shall not be," said^H559 the Lord^H136 God.^H3068
7Thus^H3541 He showed^H7200 me, and behold,^H2009 the Lord^H136 was standing^H5324 by a vertical^H594 wall,^H2346 with a plumb^H594 line^H594 in His hand.^H3027
8And the Lord^H3068 said^H559 to me, "What^H4100 do you see,^H7200 Amos^H5986?" And I said,^H559 "A plumb^H594 line.^H594" Then the Lord^H136 said,^H559 "Behold^H2009 I am about to put^H7760 a plumb^H594 line^H594 In the midst^H7130 of My people^H5971 Israel.^H3478 I will spare^H5674 them no^H3808 longer.^H3254H5750
9"The high^H1116 places^H1116 of Isaac^H3327 will be desolated^H8074 And the sanctuaries^H4720 of Israel^H3478 laid^H2717 waste.^H2717 Then shall I rise^H6965 up against^H5921 the house^H1004 of Jeroboam^H3379 with the sword.^H2719"
10Then Amaziah,^H558 the priest^H3548 of Bethel,^H1008 sent^H7971 [word] to Jeroboam,^H3379 king^H4428 of Israel,^H3478 saying,^H559 "Amos^H5986 has conspired^H7194 against^H5921 you in the midst^H7130 of the house^H1004 of Israel;^H3478 the land^H776 is unable^H3808H3201 to endure^H3557 all^H3605 his words.^H1697
11"For thus^H3541 Amos^H5986 says,^H559 'Jeroboam^H3379 will die^H4191 by the sword^H2719 and Israel^H3478 will certainly^H1540 go^H1540 from its land^H127 into exile.^H1540'"
12Then Amaziah^H558 said^H559 to Amos,^H5986 "Go,^H1980 you seer,^H2374 flee^H1272 away to the land^H776 of Judah,^H3063 and there^H8033 eat^H398 bread^H3899 and there^H8033 do your prophesying!^H5012
13"But no^H3808 longer^H3254H5750 prophesy^H5012 at Bethel,^H1008 for it is a sanctuary^H4720 of the king^H4428 and a royal^H4467 residence.^H1004"
14Then Amos^H5986 answered^H6030 and said^H559 to Amaziah,^H558 "I am not a prophet,^H5030 nor^H3808 am I the son^H1121 of a prophet;^H5030 for I am a herdsman^H951 and a grower^H1103 of sycamore^H8256 figs.^H1103
15"But the Lord^H3068 took^H3947 me from following^H310 the flock^H6629 and the Lord^H3068 said^H559 to me, 'Go^H1980 prophesy^H5012 to My people^H5971 Israel.^H3478'
16"And now^H6258 hear^H8085 the word^H1697 of the Lord:^H3068 you are saying,^H559 'You shall not prophesy^H5012 against^H5921 Israel^H3478 nor^H3808 shall you speak^H5197 against^H5921 the house^H1004 of Isaac.^H3327'
17"Therefore,^H3651 thus^H3541 says^H559 the Lord,^H3068 'Your wife^H802 will become^H2181 a harlot^H2181 in the city,^H5892 your sons^H1121 and your daughters^H1323 will fall^H5307 by the sword,^H2719 your land^H127 will be parceled^H2505 up by a [measuring] line,^H9112 and you yourself^H859 will die^H4191 upon unclean^H2931 soil.^H127 Moreover, Israel^H3478 will certainly^H1540 go^H1540 from its land^H127 into exile.^H1540'"
