\v 1 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up,
|
|
and, look, it was the late crop after the king's harvest.
|
|
\v 2 When they finished eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, "Lord Yahweh, please forgive; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small."
|
|
\v 3 Yahweh relented concerning this. "It will not happen," he said.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 4 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me: Look, the Lord Yahweh called on fire to judge. It dried the vast, deep water under the earth and would have devoured the land, also.
|
|
\v 5 But I said, "Lord Yahweh, please stop; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small."
|
|
\v 6 Yahweh relented concerning this, "This also will not happen," said the Lord Yahweh.
|

\s5

\p
|
|
\v 7 This is what he showed me: Look, the Lord stood beside a wall, with a plumb line in his hand.
|
|
\v 8 Yahweh said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Look, I will put a
|
|
plumb line among my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.

|
\v 9 The high places of Isaac will be destroyed,
|
|
\q the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined,
|
|
\q and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 10 Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel: "Amos has conspired against you in the middle
|
|
of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.
|
|
\v 11 For this is what Amos said,
|
|
\q 'Jeroboam will die by the sword,
|
|
\q and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land.'"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 12 Amaziah said to Amos, "Seer, go, run back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy.
|
|
\v 13 But do not prophesy anymore here at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal house."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 14 Then Amos said to Amaziah, "I am not a prophet nor a prophet's son. I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees.
|
|
\v 15 But Yahweh took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 16 Now hear the word of Yahweh. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not
|
|
speak against the house of Isaac.'
|
|
\v 17 Therefore this is what Yahweh says,
|
|
\q 'Your wife will be a prostitute in the city;
|
|
\q your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword;
|
|
\q your land will be measured and divided up;
|
|
\q you will die in an unclean land,
|
|
\q and Israel will surely go into exile from his land.'"
