* Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me ; and behold , he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth , and behold , it was the latter growth after the king 's mowings . * And it came to pass , when they had wholly eaten the grass of the land , that I said , O Lord Jehovah , forgive , I beseech thee ! How shall Jacob arise ? for he is small . * Jehovah repented for this : It shall not be , said Jehovah . * Thus did the Lord Jehovah shew unto me ; and behold , the Lord Jehovah called to contend by fire ; and it devoured the great deep , and ate up the inheritance . * Then said I , O Lord Jehovah , cease , I beseech thee ! How shall Jacob arise ? for he is small . * Jehovah repented for this : This also shall not be , said the Lord Jehovah . * Thus did he shew unto me ; and behold , the Lord stood upon a wall [made ] by a plumb-line , with a plumb-line in his hand . * And Jehovah said unto me , Amos , what seest thou ? And I said , A plumb-line . And the Lord said , Behold , I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel : I will not again pass by them any more . * And the high places of Isaac shall be desolated , and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste ; and I will arise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword .
