| 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>. |
