Thus the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} showed{H7200} me: and, behold, he formed{H3335} locusts{H1462} in the beginning{H8462} of the shooting up{H5927} of the latter growth;{H3954} and, lo, it was the latter growth{H3954} after{H310} the king's{H4428} mowings.{H1488}

And it came to pass that, when they made an end{H3615} of eating{H398} the grass{H6212} of the land,{H776} then I said,{H559} O Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H136} forgive,{H5545} I beseech thee: how shall Jacob{H3290} stand?{H6965} for he is small.{H6996}

Jehovah{H3068} repented{H5162} concerning this: It shall not be, saith{H559} Jehovah.{H3068}

Thus the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} showed{H7200} me: and, behold, the Lord{H136} Jehovah{H3069} called{H7121} to contend{H7378} by fire;{H784} and it devoured{H398} the great{H7227} deep,{H8415} and would have eaten up{H398} the land.{H2506}

Then said{H559} I, O Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} cease,{H2308} I beseech thee: how shall Jacob{H3290} stand?{H6965} for he is small.{H6996}

Jehovah{H3068} repented{H5162} concerning this: this also shall not be, saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah.{H3069}

Thus he showed{H7200} me: and, behold, the Lord{H136} stood{H5324} beside a wall{H2346} made by a plumb-line,{H594} with a plumb-line{H594} in his hand.{H3027}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Amos,{H5986} what seest{H7200} thou? And I said,{H559} A plumb-line.{H594} Then said{H559} the Lord,{H136} Behold, I will set{H7760} a plumb-line{H594} in the midst{H7130} of my people{H5971} Israel;{H3478} I will not again{H3254} pass by{H5674} them any more;

and the high places{H1116} of Isaac{H3446} shall be desolate,{H8074} and the sanctuaries{H4720} of Israel{H3478} shall be laid waste;{H2717} and I will rise{H6965} against the house{H1004} of Jeroboam{H3379} with the sword.{H2719}

Then Amaziah{H558} the priest{H3548} of Beth-el{H1008} sent{H7971} to Jeroboam{H3379} king{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} saying,{H559} Amos{H5986} hath conspired{H7194} against thee in the midst{H7130} of the house{H1004} of Israel:{H3478} the land{H776} is not able{H3201} to bear{H3557} all his words.{H1697}

For thus Amos{H5986} saith,{H559} Jeroboam{H3379} shall die{H4191} by the sword,{H2719} and Israel{H3478} shall surely{H1540} be led away captive{H1540} out of his land.{H127}

Also Amaziah{H558} said{H559} unto Amos,{H5986} O thou seer,{H2374} go,{H3212} flee thou away{H1272} into the land{H776} of Judah,{H3063} and there eat{H398} bread,{H3899} and prophesy{H5012} there:

but prophesy{H5012} not again{H3254} any more at Beth-el;{H1008} for it is the king's{H4428} sanctuary,{H4720} and it is a royal{H4467} house.{H1004}

Then answered{H6030} Amos,{H5986} and said{H559} to Amaziah,{H558} I was no prophet,{H5030} neither was I a prophet's{H5030} son;{H1121} but I was a herdsman,{H951} and a dresser{H1103} of sycomore-trees:{H8256}

and Jehovah{H3068} took{H3947} me from following{H310} the flock,{H6629} and Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Go,{H3212} prophesy{H5012} unto my people{H5971} Israel.{H3478}

Now therefore hear{H8085} thou the word{H1697} of Jehovah:{H3068} Thou sayest,{H559} Prophesy{H5012} not against Israel,{H3478} and drop{H5197} not [thy word] against the house{H1004} of Isaac;{H3446}

therefore thus saith{H559} Jehovah:{H3068} Thy wife{H802} shall be a harlot{H2181} in the city,{H5892} and thy sons{H1121} and thy daughters{H1323} shall fall{H5307} by the sword,{H2719} and thy land{H127} shall be divided{H2505} by line;{H2256} and thou thyself shalt die{H4191} in{H5921} a land{H127} that is unclean,{H2931} and Israel{H3478} shall surely{H1540} be led away captive{H1540} out of his land.{H127}
