Amos:7:1-9
asv@Amos:7:1 @Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
asv@Amos:7:2 @And it came to pass that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
asv@Amos:7:3 @Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, saith Jehovah.
asv@Amos:7:4 @Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, the Lord Jehovah called to content by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
asv@Amos:7:5 @Then said I, O Lord Jehovah, cease, I beseech thee: how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
asv@Amos:7:6 @Jehovah repented concerning this: this also shall not be, saith the Lord Jehovah.
asv@Amos:7:7 @Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line, with a plumb-line in his hand.
asv@Amos:7:8 @And Jehovah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? 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;
asv@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.
