[1] Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king’s harvest. [2] When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.” [3] Yahweh relented concerning this. “It shall not be,” says Yahweh. [4] Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, the Lord Yahweh called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land. [5] Then I said, “Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.” [6] Yahweh relented concerning this. “This also shall not be,” says the Lord Yahweh. [7] Thus he showed me: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. [8] Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”I said, “A plumb line.”Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more. [9] The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.” [10] Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. [11] For Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’” [12] Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there, [13] but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!” [14] Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs; [15] and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ [16] Now therefore listen to Yahweh’s word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t preach against the house of Isaac.’ [17] Therefore Yahweh says: ‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.’”
King James Version

Locusts

[1] Thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 God H3069 shewed H7200 unto me; and, behold, he formed H3335 grasshoppers H1462§ in the beginning H8462 of the shooting up H5927 of the latter growth; H3954 and, lo, it was the latter growth H3954 after H310 the king’s H4428 mowings. H1488 [2] And it came to pass, that when they had made an end H3615 of eating H398 H853 the grass H6212 of the land, H776 then I said, H559 O Lord H136 God, H3069 forgive, H5545 I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob H3290 arise? H6965§ for he is small. H6996 [3] The Lord H3068 repented H5162 for this: It shall not be, saith H559 the Lord. H3068

Fire

[4] Thus H3541 hath the Lord H136 God H3069 shewed H7200 unto me: and, behold, the Lord H136 God H3069 called H7121 to contend H7378 by fire, H784 and it devoured H398 the great H7227 H853 deep, H8415 and did eat up H398 H853 a part. H2506 [5] Then said H559 I, O Lord H136 God, H3069 cease, H2308 I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob H3290 arise? H6965 for he is small. H6996 [6] The Lord H3068 repented H5162 for this: This also shall not be, saith H559 the Lord H136 God. H3069

The Plumbline

[7] Thus H3541 he shewed H7200 me: and, behold, the Lord H136 stood H5324 upon H5921 a wall H2346 made by a plumbline, H594 with a plumbline H594 in his hand. H3027 [8] And the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Amos, H5986 what H4100 seest H7200 thou? And I said, H559 A plumbline. H594 Then said H559 the Lord, H136 Behold, I will set H7760 a plumbline H594 in the midst H7130 of my people H5971 Israel: H3478 I will H3254 not H3808 again H3254 pass by H5674 them any more: [9] and the high places H1116 of Isaac H3446 shall be desolate, H8074 and the sanctuaries H4720 of Israel H3478 shall be laid waste; H2717 and I will rise H6965 against H5921 the house H1004 of Jeroboam H3379 with the sword. H2719 [10] Then Amaziah H558 the priest H3548 of Beth-el H1008 sent H7971 to Jeroboam H3379 king H4428 of Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Amos H5986 hath conspired H7194 against H5921 thee in the midst H7130 of the house H1004 of Israel: H3478 the land H776 is not able H3201 to bear H3557 all H3605 his words. H1697 [11] For thus Amos H5986 saith, H559 Jeroboam H3379 shall die H4191 by the sword, H2719 and Israel H3478 shall surely H1540 be led away captive H1540 out of their own land. H127 [12] Also Amaziah H558 said H559 unto H413 Amos, H5986 O thou seer, H2374 go, H3212 flee thee away H1272 into the land H776 of Judah, H3063 and there eat H398 bread, H3899 and prophesy H5012 there: [13] but prophesy H5012 not H3808 again H3254 any more at Beth-el: H1008 for it is the king’s H4428 chapel, H4720§ and it is the king’s H4467 court. H1004 [14] Then answered H6030 Amos, H5986 and said H559 to Amaziah, H558 I was no prophet, H5030 neither was I a prophet’s H5030 son; H1121 but I was an herdman, H951 and a gatherer H1103 of sycomore fruit: H8256 [15] and the Lord H3068 took H3947 me as I followed H310§ the flock, H6629 and the Lord H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Go, H3212 prophesy H5012 unto H413 my people H5971 Israel. H3478 [16] Now H6258 therefore hear H8085 thou the word H1697 of the Lord: H3068 Thou sayest, H559 Prophesy H5012 not H3808 against H5921 Israel, H3478 and drop H5197 not thy word against the house H1004 of Isaac. H3446 [17] Therefore thus saith H559 the Lord; H3068 Thy wife H802 shall be an harlot H2181 in the city, H5892 and thy sons H1121 and thy daughters H1323 shall fall H5307 by the sword, H2719 and thy land H127 shall be divided H2505 by line; H2256 and thou shalt die H4191 in H5921 a polluted H2931 land: H127 and Israel H3478 shall surely H1540 go into captivity H1540 forth of his land.
