Amos 7:1-15

7:1

Thus hath the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

unto me; and, behold, he formed
<03335> (8802)

grasshoppers
<01462>

in the beginning
<08462>

of the shooting up
<05927> (8800)

of the latter growth
<03954>_;

and, lo, [it was] the latter growth
<03954>

after
<0310>

the king's
<04428>

mowings
<01488>_.

{grasshoppers: or, green worms}

7:2

And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end
<03615> (8765)

of eating
<0398> (8800)

the grass
<06212>

of the land
<0776>_,

then I said
<0559> (8799)_,

O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

forgive
<05545> (8798)_,

I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob
<03290>

arise
<06965> (8799)_?

for he [is] small
<06996>_.

{by...: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}

7:3

The LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8738)

for this: It shall not be, saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_.

7:4

Thus hath the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

unto me: and, behold, the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

called
<07121> (8802)

to contend
<07378> (8800)

by fire
<0784>_,

and it devoured
<0398> (8799)

the great
<07227>

deep
<08415>_,

and did eat up
<0398> (8804)

a part
<02506>_.

7:5

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, O Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

cease
<02308> (8798)_,

I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob
<03290>

arise
<06965> (8799)_?

for he [is] small
<06996>_.

{by...: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}

7:6

The LORD
<03068>

repented
<05162> (8738)

for this: This also shall not be, saith
<0559> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_.

7:7

Thus he shewed
<07200> (8689)

me: and, behold, the Lord
<0136>

stood
<05324> (8737)

upon a wall
<02346>

[made] by a plumbline
<0594>_,

with a plumbline
<0594>

in his hand
<03027>_.

7:8

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Amos
<05986>_,

what seest
<07200> (8802)

thou? And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

A plumbline
<0594>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the Lord
<0136>_,

Behold, I will set
<07760> (8802)

a plumbline
<0594>

in the midst
<07130>

of my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_:

I will not again
<03254> (8686)

pass by
<05674> (8800)

them any more:

7:9

And the high places
<01116>

of Isaac
<03446>

shall be desolate
<08074> (8738)_,

and the sanctuaries
<04720>

of Israel
<03478>

shall be laid waste
<02717> (8799)_;

and I will rise
<06965> (8804)

against the house
<01004>

of Jeroboam
<03379>

with the sword
<02719>_.

7:10

Then Amaziah
<0558>

the priest
<03548>

of Bethel
<01008>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Jeroboam
<03379>

king
<04428>

of Israel
<03478>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Amos
<05986>

hath conspired
<07194> (8804)

against thee in the midst
<07130>

of the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>_:

the land
<0776>

is not able
<03201> (8799)

to bear
<03557> (8687)

all his words
<01697>_.

7:11

For thus Amos
<05986>

saith
<0559> (8804)_,

Jeroboam
<03379>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and Israel
<03478>

shall surely
<01540> (8800)

be led away captive
<01540> (8799)

out of their own land
<0127>_.

7:12

Also Amaziah
<0558>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Amos
<05986>_,

O thou seer
<02374>_,

go
<03212> (8798)_,

flee thee away
<01272> (8798)

into the land
<0776>

of Judah
<03063>_,

and there eat
<0398> (8798)

bread
<03899>_,

and prophesy
<05012> (8735)

there:

7:13

But prophesy
<05012> (8736)

not again
<03254> (8686)

any more at Bethel
<01008>_:

for it [is] the king's
<04428>

chapel
<04720>_,

and it [is] the king's
<04467>

court
<01004>_.

{chapel: or, sanctuary} {king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom}

7:14

Then answered
<06030> (8799)

Amos
<05986>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to Amaziah
<0558>_,

I [was] no prophet
<05030>_,

neither [was] I a prophet's
<05030>

son
<01121>_;

but I [was] an herdman
<0951>_,

and a gatherer
<01103> (8802)

of sycomore fruit
<08256>_:

{sycomore...: or, wild figs}

7:15

And the LORD
<03068>

took
<03947> (8799)

me as I followed
<0310>

the flock
<06629>_,

and the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)_,

prophesy
<05012> (8734)

unto my people
<05971>

Israel
<03478>_.
