Amos 7:1--9:15

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>_.

{as...: Heb. from behind}

7:16

Now therefore hear
<08085> (8798)

thou the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

Thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

Prophesy
<05012> (8735)

not against Israel
<03478>_,

and drop
<05197> (8686)

not [thy word] against the house
<01004>

of Isaac
<03446>_.

7:17

Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_;

Thy wife
<0802>

shall be an harlot
<02181> (8799)

in the city
<05892>_,

and thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

shall fall
<05307> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

and thy land
<0127>

shall be divided
<02505> (8792)

by line
<02256>_;

and thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)

in
<05921>

a polluted
<02931>

land
<0127>_:

and Israel
<03478>

shall surely
<01540> (8800)

go into captivity
<01540> (8799)

forth of his land
<0127>_.

8:1

Thus hath the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

shewed
<07200> (8689)

unto me: and behold a basket
<03619>

of summer fruit
<07019>_.

8:2

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Amos
<05986>_,

what seest
<07200> (8802)

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

A basket
<03619>

of summer fruit
<07019>_.

Then said
<0559> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>

unto me, The end
<07093>

is come
<0935> (8804)

upon my people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>_;

I will not again
<03254> (8686)

pass
<05674> (8800)

by them any more.

8:3

And the songs
<07892>

of the temple
<01964>

shall be howlings
<03213> (8689)

in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_:

[there shall be] many
<07227>

dead bodies
<06297>

in every place
<04725>_;

they shall cast [them] forth
<07993> (8689)

with silence
<02013> (8761)_.

{shall be howlings: Heb. shall howl} {with...: Heb. be silent}

8:4

Hear
<08085> (8798)

this, O ye that swallow up
<07602> (8802)

the needy
<034>_,

even to make
<07673> (0)

the poor
<06041> (8675) <06035>

of the land
<0776>

to fail
<07673> (8687)_,

8:5

Saying
<0559> (8800)_,

When will the new moon
<02320>

be gone
<05674> (8799)_,

that we may sell
<07666> (8686)

corn
<07668>_?

and the sabbath
<07676>_,

that we may set forth
<06605> (8799)

wheat
<01250>_,

making the ephah
<0374>

small
<06994> (8687)_,

and the shekel
<08255>

great
<01431> (8687)_,

and falsifying
<05791> (8763)

the balances
<03976>

by deceit
<04820>_?

{new...: or, month} {set...: Heb. open} {falsifying...: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}

8:6

That we may buy
<07069> (8800)

the poor
<01800>

for silver
<03701>_,

and the needy
<034>

for a pair of shoes
<05275>_;

[yea], and sell
<07666> (8686)

the refuse
<04651>

of the wheat
<01250>_?

8:7

The LORD
<03068>

hath sworn
<07650> (8738)

by the excellency
<01347>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

Surely I will never
<05331>

forget
<07911> (8799)

any of their works
<04639>_.

8:8

Shall not the land
<0776>

tremble
<07264> (8799)

for this, and every one mourn
<056> (8804)

that dwelleth
<03427> (8802)

therein? and it shall rise up
<05927> (8804)

wholly as a flood
<02975>_;

and it shall be cast out
<01644> (8738)

and drowned
<08257> (8738) (8675) <08248> (8738)_,

as [by] the flood
<0216>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

8:9

And it shall come to pass in that day
<03117>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

that I will cause the sun
<08121>

to go down
<0935> (8689)

at noon
<06672>_,

and I will darken
<02821> (8689)

the earth
<0776>

in the clear
<0216>

day
<03117>_:

8:10

And I will turn
<02015> (8804)

your feasts
<02282>

into mourning
<060>_,

and all your songs
<07892>

into lamentation
<07015>_;

and I will bring up
<05927> (8689)

sackcloth
<08242>

upon all loins
<04975>_,

and baldness
<07144>

upon every head
<07218>_;

and I will make
<07760> (8804)

it as the mourning
<060>

of an only
<03173>

[son], and the end
<0319>

thereof as a bitter
<04751>

day
<03117>_.

8:11

Behold, the days
<03117>

come
<0935> (8802)_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>_,

that I will send
<07971> (8689)

a famine
<07458>

in the land
<0776>_,

not a famine
<07458>

of bread
<03899>_,

nor a thirst
<06772>

for water
<04325>_,

but of hearing
<08085> (8800)

the words
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_:

8:12

And they shall wander
<05128> (8804)

from sea
<03220>

to sea
<03220>_,

and from the north
<06828>

even to the east
<04217>_,

they shall run to and fro
<07751> (8787)

to seek
<01245> (8763)

the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and shall not find
<04672> (8799)

[it].

8:13

In that day
<03117>

shall the fair
<03303>

virgins
<01330>

and young men
<0970>

faint
<05968> (8691)

for thirst
<06772>_.

8:14

They that swear
<07650> (8737)

by the sin
<0819>

of Samaria
<08111>_,

and say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thy god
<0430>_,

O Dan
<01835>_,

liveth
<02416>_;

and, The manner
<01870>

of Beersheba
<0884>

liveth
<02416>_;

even they shall fall
<05307> (8804)_,

and never rise up
<06965> (8799)

again. {manner: Heb. way}

9:1

I saw
<07200> (8804)

the Lord
<0136>

standing
<05324> (8737)

upon the altar
<04196>_:

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Smite
<05221> (8685)

the lintel of the door
<03730>_,

that the posts
<05592>

may shake
<07493> (8799)_:

and cut
<01214> (8798)

them in the head
<07218>_,

all of them; and I will slay
<02026> (8799)

the last
<0319>

of them with the sword
<02719>_:

he that fleeth
<05127> (8801)

of them shall not flee away
<05127> (8799)_,

and he that escapeth
<06412>

of them shall not be delivered
<04422> (8735)_.

{lintel: or, chapiter, or, knop} {cut...: or, wound them}

9:2

Though they dig
<02864> (8799)

into hell
<07585>_,

thence shall mine hand
<03027>

take
<03947> (8799)

them; though they climb up
<05927> (8799)

to heaven
<08064>_,

thence will I bring them down
<03381> (8686)_:

9:3

And though they hide
<02244> (8735)

themselves in the top
<07218>

of Carmel
<03760>_,

I will search
<02664> (8762)

and take them out
<03947> (8804)

thence; and though they be hid
<05641> (8735)

from my sight
<05869>

in the bottom
<07172>

of the sea
<03220>_,

thence will I command
<06680> (8762)

the serpent
<05175>_,

and he shall bite
<05391> (8804)

them:

9:4

And though they go
<03212> (8799)

into captivity
<07628>

before
<06440>

their enemies
<0341> (8802)_,

thence will I command
<06680> (8762)

the sword
<02719>_,

and it shall slay
<02026> (8804)

them: and I will set
<07760> (8804)

mine eyes
<05869>

upon them for evil
<07451>_,

and not for good
<02896>_.

9:5

And the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

of hosts
<06635>

[is] he that toucheth
<05060> (8802)

the land
<0776>_,

and it shall melt
<04127> (8799)_,

and all that dwell
<03427> (8802)

therein shall mourn
<056> (8804)_:

and it shall rise up
<05927> (8804)

wholly like a flood
<02975>_;

and shall be drowned
<08257> (8804)_,

as [by] the flood
<02975>

of Egypt
<04714>_.

9:6

[It is] he that buildeth
<01129> (8802)

his stories
<04609>

in the heaven
<08064>_,

and hath founded
<03245> (8804)

his troop
<092>

in the earth
<0776>_;

he that calleth
<07121> (8802)

for the waters
<04325>

of the sea
<03220>_,

and poureth them out
<08210> (8799)

upon the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0776>_:

The LORD
<03068>

[is] his name
<08034>_.

{stories: or, spheres: Heb. ascensions} {troop: or, bundle}

9:7

[Are] ye not as children
<01121>

of the Ethiopians
<03569>

unto me, O children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_?

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

Have not I brought up
<05927> (8689)

Israel
<03478>

out of the land
<0776>

of Egypt
<04714>_?

and the Philistines
<06430>

from Caphtor
<03731>_,

and the Syrians
<0758>

from Kir
<07024>_?

9:8

Behold, the eyes
<05869>

of the Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

[are] upon the sinful
<02403>

kingdom
<04467>_,

and I will destroy
<08045> (8689)

it from off the face
<06440>

of the earth
<0127>_;

saving
<0657>

that I will not utterly
<08045> (8687)

destroy
<08045> (8686)

the house
<01004>

of Jacob
<03290>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_.

9:9

For, lo, I will command
<06680> (8764)_,

and I will sift
<05128> (8689)

the house
<01004>

of Israel
<03478>

among all nations
<01471>_,

like as [corn] is sifted
<05128> (8735)

in a sieve
<03531>_,

yet shall not the least grain
<06872>

fall
<05307> (8799)

upon the earth
<0776>_.

{sift: Heb. cause to move} {grain: Heb. stone}

9:10

All the sinners
<02400>

of my people
<05971>

shall die
<04191> (8799)

by the sword
<02719>_,

which say
<0559> (8802)_,

The evil
<07451>

shall not overtake
<05066> (8686)

nor prevent
<06923> (8686)

us.

9:11

In that day
<03117>

will I raise up
<06965> (8686)

the tabernacle
<05521>

of David
<01732>

that is fallen
<05307> (8802)_,

and close up
<01443> (8804)

the breaches
<06556>

thereof; and I will raise up
<06965> (8686)

his ruins
<02034>_,

and I will build
<01129> (8804)

it as in the days
<03117>

of old
<05769>_:
