ukjv - Amos:7-8

ukjv@Amos:7:1 @ Thus has the Lord GOD showed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

ukjv@Amos:7:2 @ And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I plead to you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

ukjv@Amos:7:3 @ The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, says the LORD.

ukjv@Amos:7:4 @ Thus has the Lord GOD showed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

ukjv@Amos:7:5 @ Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I plead to you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

ukjv@Amos:7:6 @ The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, says the Lord GOD.

ukjv@Amos:7:7 @ Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.

ukjv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what see you? And I said, A plumb-line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

ukjv@Amos:7:9 @ And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

ukjv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

ukjv@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos says, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

ukjv@Amos:7:12 @ Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O you seer, go, flee you away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

ukjv@Amos:7:13 @ But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

ukjv@Amos:7:14 @ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

ukjv@Amos:7:15 @ And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

ukjv@Amos:7:16 @ Now therefore hear you the word of the LORD: You says, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not your word against the house of Isaac.

ukjv@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus says the LORD; Your wife shall be an harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity out of his land.

ukjv@Amos:8:1 @ Thus has the Lord GOD showed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

ukjv@Amos:8:2 @ And he said, Amos, what see you? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end has come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

ukjv@Amos:8:3 @ And the songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, says the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

ukjv@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, O all of you that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

ukjv@Amos:8:5 @ Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

ukjv@Amos:8:6 @ That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

ukjv@Amos:8:7 @ The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

ukjv@Amos:8:8 @ Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

ukjv@Amos:8:9 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:

ukjv@Amos:8:10 @ And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

ukjv@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, the days come, says the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

ukjv@Amos:8:12 @ And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run back and forth to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

ukjv@Amos:8:13 @ In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

ukjv@Amos:8:14 @ They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Your god, O Dan, lives; and, The manner of Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

ukjv@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the LORD standing upon the altar: and he said, Strike the lintel of the door, that the posts may shake: and cut them in the head, all of them; and I will slay the last of them with the sword: he that flees of them shall not flee away, and he that escapes of them shall not be delivered.
