*
The Lord Jehovah made me see this :
And behold ,
He is forming locusts at the beginning of the coming up of the late grass ;
even behold ,
the late grass after the king '
s mowings .
*
And it happened when it had made an end of eating the tender plant of the land ,
then I said ,
O Lord Jehovah ,
forgive ,
I pray You .
How can Jacob stand ?
For he [
is ]
small .
*
The LORD repented for this ;
it shall not be ,
says the LORD .
*
The Lord Jehovah made me see this :
And behold ,
the Lord Jehovah was calling to contend by fire .
And it consumed the great deep ,
and [
it was ]
devouring part of it .
*
Then I said ,
O Lord Jehovah ,
I pray You ,
cease .
How can Jacob stand ?
For he [
is ]
small .
*
The LORD repented for this ;
this also shall not be ,
says the Lord Jehovah .
*
He made me see this :
And behold ,
the Lord was standing by the plumbline-wall ,
and a plumbline in His hand .
*
And the LORD said to me ,
Amos ,
what do you see ?
And I said ,
A plumbline .
Then the Lord said ,
Behold ,
I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel .
I will not again pass by them any more .
*
And the high places of Isaac shall be wasted ,
and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste ;
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword .
