Amos:7:1-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus the Sovereign Yahweh showed me :
and ,
look ,
he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth ;
and ,
look ,
it was the latter growth after the king '
s mowings .
*
And it came to pass that ,
when they made an end of eating the grass of the land ,
then I said ,
O Sovereign Yahweh ,
forgive ,
I urge you :
how will Jacob stand ?
For he is small .
*
Yahweh repented concerning this :
It will not be ,
says Yahweh .
*
Thus the Sovereign Yahweh showed me :
and ,
look ,
the Sovereign Yahweh called to contend by fire ;
and it devoured the great deep ,
and would have eaten up the land .
*
Then I said ,
O Sovereign Yahweh ,
cease ,
I urge you :
how will Jacob stand ?
For he is small .
*
Yahweh repented concerning this :
this also will not be ,
says the Sovereign Yahweh .
*
Thus he showed me :
and ,
look ,
the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb-line ,
with a plumb-line in his hand .
*
And Yahweh said to me ,
Amos ,
what do you see ?
And I said ,
A plumb-line .
Then said the Lord ,
Look ,
I will set a plumb-line in the midst of my people Israel ;
I will not again pass by them anymore ;
*
and the high places of Isaac will be desolate ,
and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste ;
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword .
