Amos:7:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed 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 .
*
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 beseech thee :
by whom shall Jacob arise ?
for he is small .
*
The LORD repented for this :
It shall not be ,
saith the LORD .
*
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me :
and ,
behold ,
the Lord GOD called to contend by fire ,
and it devoured the great deep ,
and did eat up a part .
*
Then said I ,
O Lord GOD ,
cease ,
I beseech thee :
by whom shall Jacob arise ?
for he is small .
*
The LORD repented for this :
This also shall not be ,
saith the Lord GOD .
*
Thus he shewed me :
and ,
behold ,
the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline ,
with a plumbline in his hand .
*
And the LORD said unto me ,
Amos ,
what seest thou ?
And I said ,
A plumbline .
Then said the Lord ,
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 desolate ,
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste ;
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword .
