noyes - Amos:7

noyes@Amos:7:1 @ The Lord Jehovah showed me this vision: Behold, he formed locusts In the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; Behold, it was the latter growth after the kings mowing.

noyes@Amos:7:2 @ And when they had devoured the grass of the land, Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob stand? For he is small!

noyes@Amos:7:3 @ Jehovah repented of this; It shall not be, said Jehovah.

noyes@Amos:7:4 @ The Lord Jehovah also showed me this vision: Behold, the Lord Jehovah commanded the fire to execute judgment; And it devoured the great deep, And it devoured the fields.

noyes@Amos:7:5 @ Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, desist, I beseech thee! How shall Jacob stand? For he is small!

noyes@Amos:7:6 @ Jehovah repented of this; This also shall not be, said the Lord Jehovah.

noyes@Amos:7:7 @ He also showed me this vision: Behold, the Lord stood upon a wall, built with a plumbline, And in his hand was a plumbline;

noyes@Amos:7:8 @ And Jehovah said to me, What seest thou, Amos? And I said, A plumbline. And the Lord said, Behold I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel; I will not spare them any more.

noyes@Amos:7:9 @ 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.

noyes@Amos:7:10 @ Then sent Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, To Jeroboam, the king of Israel, and said: Amos conspireth against thee in the midst of the house of Israel; The land is not able to bear all his words.

noyes@Amos:7:11 @ For thus hath Amos said: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, And Israel shall surely be led captive from their own land.

noyes@Amos:7:12 @ And Amaziah said to Amos, Go, thou seer! flee into the land of Judah! There eat thy bread, and there prophesy!

noyes@Amos:7:13 @ But prophesy no more at Bethel, For it is the kings sanctuary, And it is the kings abode.

noyes@Amos:7:14 @ Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: I was no prophet, nor the son of a prophet; I was a shepherd, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit.

noyes@Amos:7:15 @ And Jehovah took me from the flock; And Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel!

noyes@Amos:7:16 @ Now, therefore, hear the word of Jehovah: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, And speak no word against the house of Isaac!

noyes@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus saith Jehovah: "Thy wife shall be put to shame in the city, And thy sons and daughters shall fall by the sword; Thy land shall be divided by the line, And thou shalt die in a polluted land, And Israel shall surely be led captive from his own land."
