7:1 Thus hath the Lord 136 GOD 3069 shewed 7200 8689 unto me; and, behold, he formed 3335 8802 grasshoppers 1462 in the beginning 8462 of the shooting up 5927 8800 of the latter growth 3954; and, lo, [it was] the latter growth 3954 after 310 the king's 4428 mowings 1488.(grasshoppers: or, green worms)

7:2 And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end 3615 8765 of eating 398 8800 the grass 6212 of the land 776, then I said 559 8799, O Lord 136 GOD 3069, forgive 5545 8798, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob 3290 arise 6965 8799? for he [is] small 6996.(by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?)

7:3 The LORD 3068 repented 5162 8738 for this: It shall not be, saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068.

7:4 Thus hath the Lord 136 GOD 3069 shewed 7200 8689 unto me: and, behold, the Lord 136 GOD 3069 called 7121 8802 to contend 7378 8800 by fire 784, and it devoured 398 8799 the great 7227 deep 8415, and did eat up 398 8804 a part 2506.

7:5 Then said 559 8799 I, O Lord 136 GOD 3069, cease 2308 8798, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob 3290 arise 6965 8799? for he [is] small 6996.(by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?)

7:6 The LORD 3068 repented 5162 8738 for this: This also shall not be, saith 559 8804 the Lord 136 GOD 3069.

7:7 Thus he shewed 7200 8689 me: and, behold, the Lord 136 stood 5324 8737 upon a wall 2346 [made] by a plumbline 594, with a plumbline 594 in his hand 3027.

7:8 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto me, Amos 5986, what seest 7200 8802 thou? And I said 559 8799, A plumbline 594. Then said 559 8799 the Lord 136, Behold, I will set 7760 8802 a plumbline 594 in the midst 7130 of my people 5971 Israel 3478: I will not again 3254 8686 pass by 5674 8800 them any more:

7:9 And the high places 1116 of Isaac 3446 shall be desolate 8074 8738, and the sanctuaries 4720 of Israel 3478 shall be laid waste 2717 8799; and I will rise 6965 8804 against the house 1004 of Jeroboam 3379 with the sword 2719.

7:10 Then Amaziah 558 the priest 3548 of Bethel 1008 sent 7971 8799 to Jeroboam 3379 king 4428 of Israel 3478, saying 559 8800, Amos 5986 hath conspired 7194 8804 against thee in the midst 7130 of the house 1004 of Israel 3478: the land 776 is not able 3201 8799 to bear 3557 8687 all his words 1697.

7:11 For thus Amos 5986 saith 559 8804, Jeroboam 3379 shall die 4191 8799 by the sword 2719, and Israel 3478 shall surely 1540 8800 be led away captive 1540 8799 out of their own land 127.

7:12 Also Amaziah 558 said 559 8799 unto Amos 5986, O thou seer 2374, go 3212 8798, flee thee away 1272 8798 into the land 776 of Judah 3063, and there eat 398 8798 bread 3899, and prophesy 5012 8735 there:

7:13 But prophesy 5012 8736 not again 3254 8686 any more at Bethel 1008: for it [is] the king's 4428 chapel 4720, and it [is] the king's 4467 court 1004.(chapel: or, sanctuary)(king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom)

7:14 Then answered 6030 8799 Amos 5986, and said 559 8799 to Amaziah 558, I [was] no prophet 5030, neither [was] I a prophet's 5030 son 1121; but I [was] an herdman 951, and a gatherer 1103 8802 of sycomore fruit 8256:(sycomore…: or, wild figs)

7:15 And the LORD 3068 took 3947 8799 me as I followed 310 the flock 6629, and the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto me, Go 3212 8798, prophesy 5012 8734 unto my people 5971 Israel 3478.(as…: Heb. from behind)

7:16 Now therefore hear 8085 8798 thou the word 1697 of the LORD 3068: Thou sayest 559 8802, Prophesy 5012 8735 not against Israel 3478, and drop 5197 8686 not [thy word] against the house 1004 of Isaac 3446.

7:17 Therefore thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Thy wife 802 shall be an harlot 2181 8799 in the city 5892, and thy sons 1121 and thy daughters 1323 shall fall 5307 8799 by the sword 2719, and thy land 127 shall be divided 2505 8792 by line 2256; and thou shalt die 4191 8799 in 5921 a polluted 2931 land 127: and Israel 3478 shall surely 1540 8800 go into captivity 1540 8799 forth of his land 127.
