Context
Symbolic Visions of Judgment
7:1 The sovereign Lord showed me this: I saw him making locusts just as the crops planted late were beginning to sprout . (The crops planted late sprout after the royal harvest .)
7:2 When they had completely consumed the earth’s vegetation , I said , “Sovereign Lord , forgive Israel! How can Jacob survive ? He is too weak !”
7:3 The Lord decided not to do this . “It will not happen ,” the Lord said .
7:4 The sovereign Lord showed me this: I saw the sovereign Lord summoning a shower of fire . It consumed the great deep and devoured the fields .
7:5 I said , “Sovereign Lord , stop ! How can Jacob survive ? He is too weak !”
7:6 The Lord decided not to do this . The sovereign Lord said , “This will not happen either.”
7:7 He showed me this: I saw the sovereign One standing by a tin wall holding tin in his hand .
7:8 The Lord said to me, “What do you see , Amos ?” I said , “Tin .” The sovereign One then said , “Look , I am about to place tin among my people Israel . I will no longer overlook their sin.
7:9 Isaac’s centers of worship will become desolate ; Israel’s holy places will be in ruins . I will attack Jeroboam’s dynasty with the sword .”
