Hosea:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Hose'a the son of Be-e'ri, in the days of Uzzi'ah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezeki'ah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Jo'ash, king of Israel.
rsv@Hosea:1:4 @ And the LORD said to him, "Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.
rsv@Hosea:1:6 @ She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Call her name Not pitied, for I will no more have pity on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.
rsv@Hosea:1:9 @ And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for you are not my people and I am not your God."
rsv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband--that she put away her harlotry from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;
rsv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, `I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
rsv@Hosea:2:15 @ And there I will give her her vineyards, and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
rsv@Hosea:2:17 @ For I will remove the names of the Ba'als from her mouth, and they shall be mentioned by name no more.
rsv@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
rsv@Hosea:4:7 @ The more they increased, the more they sinned against me; I will change their glory into shame.
rsv@Hosea:4:16 @ Like a stubborn heifer, Israel is stubborn; can the LORD now feed them like a lamb in a broad pasture?
rsv@Hosea:4:18 @ A band of drunkards, they give themselves to harlotry; they love shame more than their glory.
rsv@Hosea:4:19 @ A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
rsv@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow the horn in Gib'e-ah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth-a'ven; tremble, O Benjamin!
rsv@Hosea:5:9 @ E'phraim shall become a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
rsv@Hosea:5:12 @ Therefore I am like a moth to E'phraim, and like dry rot to the house of Judah.
rsv@Hosea:6:7 @ But at Adam they transgressed the covenant; there they dealt faithlessly with me.
rsv@Hosea:7:1 @ when I would heal Israel, the corruption of E'phraim is revealed, and the wicked deeds of Sama'ria; for they deal falsely, the thief breaks in, and the bandits raid without.
rsv@Hosea:7:5 @ On the day of our king the princes became sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with mockers.
rsv@Hosea:7:6 @ For like an oven their hearts burn with intrigue; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
rsv@Hosea:8:5 @ I have spurned your calf, O Sama'ria. My anger burns against them. How long will it be till they are pure
rsv@Hosea:8:6 @ in Israel? A workman made it; it is not God. The calf of Sama'ria shall be broken to pieces.
rsv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.
rsv@Hosea:8:10 @ Though they hire allies among the nations, I will soon gather them up. And they shall cease for a little while from anointing king and princes.
rsv@Hosea:9:10 @ Like grapes in the wilderness, I found Israel. Like the first fruit on the fig tree, in its first season, I saw your fathers. But they came to Ba'al-pe'or, and consecrated themselves to Ba'al, and became detestable like the thing they loved.
rsv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
rsv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Sama'ria tremble for the calf of Beth-a'ven. Its people shall mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests shall wail over it, over its glory which has departed from it.
rsv@Hosea:10:6 @ Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. E'phraim shall be put to shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.
rsv@Hosea:10:7 @ Sama'ria's king shall perish, like a chip on the face of the waters.
rsv@Hosea:10:14 @ therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar'bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
rsv@Hosea:11:4 @ I led them with cords of compassion, with the bands of love, and I became to them as one, who eases the yoke on their jaws, and I bent down to them and fed them.
rsv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute my fierce anger, I will not again destroy E'phraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, and I will not come to destroy.
rsv@Hosea:12:5 @ the LORD the God of hosts, the LORD is his name:
rsv@Hosea:12:8 @ E'phraim has said, "Ah, but I am rich, I have gained wealth for myself": but all his riches can never offset the guilt he has incurred.
rsv@Hosea:12:9 @ I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast.
rsv@Hosea:12:12 @ (Jacob fled to the land of Aram, there Israel did service for a wife, and for a wife he herded sheep.)
rsv@Hosea:13:4 @ I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; you know no God but me, and besides me there is no savior.
rsv@Hosea:13:16 @ Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
rsv@Hosea:14:8 @ O E'phraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress, from me comes your fruit.
rsv@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethu'el:
rsv@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the bridegroom of her youth.
rsv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird on sackcloth and lament, O priests, wail, O ministers of the altar. Go in, pass the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! Because cereal offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
rsv@Joel:1:19 @ Unto thee, O LORD, I cry. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field.
rsv@Joel:2:3 @ Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.
rsv@Joel:2:5 @ As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle.
rsv@Joel:2:16 @ gather the people. Sanctify the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.
rsv@Joel:2:17 @ Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep and say, "Spare thy people, O LORD, and make not thy heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, `Where is their God?'"
rsv@Joel:2:18 @ Then the LORD became jealous for his land, and had pity on his people.
rsv@Joel:2:19 @ The LORD answered and said to his people, "Behold, I am sending to you grain, wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
rsv@Joel:2:25 @ I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you.
rsv@Joel:2:26 @ "You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
rsv@Joel:2:27 @ You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I, the LORD, am your God and there is none else. And my people shall never again be put to shame.
rsv@Joel:2:28 @ "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
rsv@Joel:2:32 @ And it shall come to pass that all who call upon the name of the LORD shall be delivered; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as the LORD has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the LORD calls.
rsv@Joel:3:2 @ I will gather all the nations and bring them down to the valley of Jehosh'aphat, and I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of my people and my heritage Israel, because they have scattered them among the nations, and have divided up my land,
rsv@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war, stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
rsv@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior."
rsv@Joel:3:17 @ "So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who dwell in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be holy and strangers shall never again pass through it.
rsv@Joel:3:18 @ "And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the stream beds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD and water the valley of Shittim.
rsv@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Teko'a, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzzi'ah king of Judah and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Jo'ash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
rsv@Amos:1:2 @ And he said: "The LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers."
rsv@Amos:1:3 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing sledges of iron.
rsv@Amos:1:4 @ So I will send a fire upon the house of Haz'ael, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ben-ha'dad.
rsv@Amos:1:5 @ I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven, and him that holds the scepter from Beth-eden; and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:1:6 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they carried into exile a whole people to deliver them up to Edom.
rsv@Amos:1:7 @ So I will send a fire upon the wall of Gaza, and it shall devour her strongholds.
rsv@Amos:1:8 @ I will cut off the inhabitants from Ashdod, and him that holds the scepter from Ash'kelon; I will turn my hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish," says the Lord GOD.
rsv@Amos:1:9 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they delivered up a whole people to Edom, and did not remember the covenant of brotherhood.
rsv@Amos:1:10 @ So I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, and it shall devour her strongholds."
rsv@Amos:1:11 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pity, and his anger tore perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.
rsv@Amos:1:12 @ So I will send a fire upon Teman, and it shall devour the strongholds of Bozrah."
rsv@Amos:1:13 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have ripped up women with child in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
rsv@Amos:1:14 @ So I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour her strongholds, with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind;
rsv@Amos:1:15 @ and their king shall go into exile, he and his princes together," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:2:1 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because he burned to lime the bones of the king of Edom.
rsv@Amos:2:2 @ So I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ker'ioth, and Moab shall die amid uproar, amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;
rsv@Amos:2:3 @ I will cut off the ruler from its midst, and will slay all its princes with him," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:2:4 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, but their lies have led them astray, after which their fathers walked.
rsv@Amos:2:5 @ So I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the strongholds of Jerusalem."
rsv@Amos:2:6 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they sell the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes--
rsv@Amos:2:7 @ they that trample the head of the poor into the dust of the earth, and turn aside the way of the afflicted; a man and his father go in to the same maiden, so that my holy name is profaned;
rsv@Amos:2:8 @ they lay themselves down beside every altar upon garments taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
rsv@Amos:2:9 @ "Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots beneath.
rsv@Amos:2:10 @ Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
rsv@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is it not indeed so, O people of Israel?" says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:2:12 @ "But you made the Nazirites drink wine, and commanded the prophets, saying, `You shall not prophesy.'
rsv@Amos:2:13 @ "Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
rsv@Amos:2:14 @ Flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not retain his strength, nor shall the mighty save his life;
rsv@Amos:2:15 @ he who handles the bow shall not stand, and he who is swift of foot shall not save himself, nor shall he who rides the horse save his life;
rsv@Amos:2:16 @ and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
rsv@Amos:3:2 @ "You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
rsv@Amos:3:3 @ "Do two walk together, unless they have made an appointment?
rsv@Amos:3:4 @ Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?
rsv@Amos:3:5 @ Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth, when there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when it has taken nothing?
rsv@Amos:3:6 @ Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does evil befall a city, unless the LORD has done it?
rsv@Amos:3:7 @ Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, without revealing his secret to his servants the prophets.
rsv@Amos:3:8 @ The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken; who can but prophesy?"
rsv@Amos:3:9 @ Proclaim to the strongholds in Assyria, and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Sama'ria, and see the great tumults within her, and the oppressions in her midst."
rsv@Amos:3:10 @ "They do not know how to do right," says the LORD, "those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds."
rsv@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "An adversary shall surround the land, and bring down your defenses from you, and your strongholds shall be plundered."
rsv@Amos:3:12 @ Thus says the LORD: "As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Sama'ria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part of a bed."
rsv@Amos:3:13 @ "Hear, and testify against the house of Jacob," says the Lord GOD, the God of hosts,
rsv@Amos:3:14 @ "that on the day I punish Israel for his transgressions, I will punish the altars of Bethel, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off and fall to the ground.
rsv@Amos:3:15 @ I will smite the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall come to an end," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:4:1 @ "Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, who are in the mountain of Sama'ria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their husbands, `Bring, that we may drink!'

rsv@Amos:4:4 @ "Come to Bethel, and transgress; to Gilgal, and multiply transgression; bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days;

rsv@Amos:4:6 @ "I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places, yet you did not return to me," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:4:7 @ "And I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest; I would send rain upon one city, and send no rain upon another city; one field would be rained upon, and the field on which it did not rain withered;

rsv@Amos:4:9 @ "I smote you with blight and mildew; I laid waste your gardens and your vineyards; your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured; yet you did not return to me," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:4:10 @ "I sent among you a pestilence after the manner of Egypt; I slew your young men with the sword; I carried away your horses; and I made the stench of your camp go up into your nostrils; yet you did not return to me," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:4:11 @ "I overthrew some of you, as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomor'rah, and you were as a brand plucked out of the burning; yet you did not return to me," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:4:12 @ "Therefore thus I will do to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel!"
rsv@Amos:4:13 @ For lo, he who forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought; who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth--the LORD, the God of hosts, is his name!
rsv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I take up over you in lamentation, O house of Israel:
rsv@Amos:5:2 @ "Fallen, no more to rise, is the virgin Israel; forsaken on her land, with none to raise her up."
rsv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord GOD: "The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel."
rsv@Amos:5:4 @ For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel: "Seek me and live;
rsv@Amos:5:5 @ but do not seek Bethel, and do not enter into Gilgal or cross over to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nought."
rsv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek the LORD and live, lest he break out like fire in the house of Joseph, and it devour, with none to quench it for Bethel,
rsv@Amos:5:7 @ O you who turn justice to wormwood, and cast down righteousness to the earth!
rsv@Amos:5:8 @ He who made the Plei'ades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the surface of the earth, the LORD is his name,
rsv@Amos:5:9 @ who makes destruction flash forth against the strong, so that destruction comes upon the fortress.
rsv@Amos:5:10 @ They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks the truth.
rsv@Amos:5:11 @ Therefore because you trample upon the poor and take from him exactions of wheat, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine.
rsv@Amos:5:12 @ For I know how many are your transgressions, and how great are your sins--you who afflict the righteous, who take a bribe, and turn aside the needy in the gate.
rsv@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore he who is prudent will keep silent in such a time; for it is an evil time.
rsv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good, and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.
rsv@Amos:5:15 @ Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate; it may be that the LORD, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.
rsv@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore thus says the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord: "In all the squares there shall be wailing; and in all the streets they shall say, 'Alas! alas!' They shall call the farmers to mourning and to wailing those who are skilled in lamentation,
rsv@Amos:5:17 @ and in all vineyards there shall be wailing, for I will pass through the midst of you," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to you who desire the day of the LORD! Why would you have the day of the LORD? It is darkness, and not light;
rsv@Amos:5:19 @ as if a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned with his hand against the wall, and a serpent bit him.
rsv@Amos:5:20 @ Is not the day of the LORD darkness, and not light, and gloom with no brightness in it?
rsv@Amos:5:21 @ "I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
rsv@Amos:5:22 @ Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and cereal offerings, I will not accept them, and the peace offerings of your fatted beasts I will not look upon.
rsv@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen.
rsv@Amos:5:24 @ But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
rsv@Amos:5:25 @ "Did you bring to me sacrifices and offerings the forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
rsv@Amos:5:26 @ You shall take up Sakkuth your king, and Kaiwan your star-god, your images, which you made for yourselves;
rsv@Amos:5:27 @ therefore I will take you into exile beyond Damascus," says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.
rsv@Amos:6:1 @ "Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who feel secure on the mountain of Sama'ria, the notable men of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come!
rsv@Amos:6:2 @ Pass over to Calneh, and see; and thence go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? Or is their territory greater than your territory,
rsv@Amos:6:3 @ O you who put far away the evil day, and bring near the seat of violence?
rsv@Amos:6:4 @ "Woe to those who lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;
rsv@Amos:6:5 @ who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp, and like David invent for themselves instruments of music;
rsv@Amos:6:6 @ who drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but are not grieved over the ruin of Joseph!
rsv@Amos:6:7 @ Therefore they shall now be the first of those to go into exile, and the revelry of those who stretch themselves shall pass away."
rsv@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord GOD has sworn by himself (says the LORD, the God of hosts): "I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his strongholds; and I will deliver up the city and all that is in it."
rsv@Amos:6:9 @ And if ten men remain in one house, they shall die.
rsv@Amos:6:10 @ And when a man's kinsman, he who burns him, shall take him up to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him who is in the innermost parts of the house, "Is there still any one with you?" he shall say, "No"; and he shall say, "Hush! We must not mention the name of the LORD."
rsv@Amos:6:11 @ For behold, the LORD commands, and the great house shall be smitten into fragments, and the little house into bits.
rsv@Amos:6:12 @ Do horses run upon rocks? Does one plow the sea with oxen? But you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood--
rsv@Amos:6:13 @ you who rejoice in Lo-debar, who say, "Have we not by our own strength taken Karnaim for ourselves?"
rsv@Amos:6:14 @ "For behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel," says the LORD, the God of hosts; "and they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of the Arabah."
rsv@Amos:7:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
rsv@Amos:7:2 @ When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, "O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"
rsv@Amos:7:3 @ The LORD repented concerning this; "It shall not be," said the LORD.
rsv@Amos:7:4 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.
rsv@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said, "O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee! How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"
rsv@Amos:7:6 @ The LORD repented concerning this; "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
rsv@Amos:7:7 @ He showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
rsv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I am setting a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; I will never again pass by them;
rsv@Amos:7:9 @ the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against the house of Jerobo'am with the sword."
rsv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amazi'ah the priest of Bethel sent to Jerobo'am 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.
rsv@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos has said, `Jerobo'am shall die by the sword, and Israel must go into exile away from his land.'"
rsv@Amos:7:12 @ And Amazi'ah said to Amos, "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;
rsv@Amos:7:13 @ but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."
rsv@Amos:7:14 @ Then Amos answered Amazi'ah, "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees,
rsv@Amos:7:15 @ and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, `Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
rsv@Amos:7:16 @ "Now therefore hear the word of the LORD. You say, `Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'
rsv@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus says the LORD: `Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be parceled out by line; you yourself shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.'"
rsv@Amos:8:1 @ Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
rsv@Amos:8:2 @ And he said, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass by them.
