Amos 7 (WEBP)

[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.’ ”

Amos 7 (KJVS)

[1] Thus hath the Lord God shewed () unto me; and, behold, he formed () grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up () of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.
[2] And it came to pass, that when they had made an end () of eating () the grass of the land, then I said, () O Lord God, forgive, () I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? () for he is small.
[3] The Lord repented () for this: It shall not be, saith () the Lord.
[4] Thus hath the Lord God shewed () unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called () to contend () by fire, and it devoured () the great deep, and did eat up () a part.
[5] Then said () I, O Lord God, cease, () I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? () for he is small.
[6] The Lord repented () for this: This also shall not be, saith () the Lord God.
[7] Thus he shewed () me: and, behold, the Lord stood () upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
[8] And the Lord said () unto me, Amos, what seest () thou? And I said, () A plumbline. Then said () the Lord, Behold, I will set () a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again () pass by () them any more:
[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.
[10] Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent () to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, () Amos hath conspired () against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able () to bear () all his words.
[11] For thus Amos saith, () Jeroboam shall die () by the sword, and Israel shall surely () be led away captive () out of their own land.
[12] Also Amaziah said () unto Amos, O thou seer, go, () flee thee away () into the land of Judah, and there eat () bread, and prophesy () there:
[13] but prophesy () not again () any more at Beth-el: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.
[14] Then answered () Amos, and said () to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer () of sycomore fruit:
[15] and the Lord took () me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said () unto me, Go, () prophesy () unto my people Israel.
[16] Now therefore hear () thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, () Prophesy () not against Israel, and drop () not thy word against the house of Isaac.
[17] Therefore thus saith () the Lord; Thy wife shall be an harlot () in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall () by the sword, and thy land shall be divided () by line; and thou shalt die () in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely () go into captivity () forth of his land.

Amos 7 (BYZ)

[1] ουτως εδειξεν μοι κυριος και ιδου επιγονη ακριδων ερχομενη εωθινη και ιδου βρουχος εις γωγ ο βασιλευς
[2] και εσται εαν συντελεση του καταφαγειν τον χορτον της γης και ειπα κυριε κυριε ιλεως γενου τις αναστησει τον ιακωβ οτι ολιγοστος εστιν
[3] μετανοησον κυριε επι τουτω και τουτο ουκ εσται λεγει κυριος
[4] ουτως εδειξεν μοι κυριος και ιδου εκαλεσεν την δικην εν πυρι κυριος και κατεφαγε την αβυσσον την πολλην και κατεφαγεν την μεριδα
[5] και ειπα κυριε κυριε κοπασον δη τις αναστησει τον ιακωβ οτι ολιγοστος εστιν
[6] μετανοησον κυριε επι τουτω και τουτο ου μη γενηται λεγει κυριος
[7] ουτως εδειξεν μοι κυριος και ιδου ανηρ εστηκως επι τειχους αδαμαντινου και εν τη χειρι αυτου αδαμας
[8] και ειπεν κυριος προς με τι συ ορας αμως και ειπα αδαμαντα και ειπεν κυριος προς με ιδου εγω εντασσω αδαμαντα εν μεσω λαου μου ισραηλ ουκετι μη προσθω του παρελθειν αυτον
[9] και αφανισθησονται βωμοι του γελωτος και αι τελεται του ισραηλ εξερημωθησονται και αναστησομαι επι τον οικον ιεροβοαμ εν ρομφαια
[10] και εξαπεστειλεν αμασιας ο ιερευς βαιθηλ προς ιεροβοαμ βασιλεα ισραηλ λεγων συστροφας ποιειται κατα σου αμως εν μεσω οικου ισραηλ ου μη δυνηται η γη υπενεγκειν απαντας τους λογους αυτου
[11] διοτι ταδε λεγει αμως εν ρομφαια τελευτησει ιεροβοαμ ο δε ισραηλ αιχμαλωτος αχθησεται απο της γης αυτου
[12] και ειπεν αμασιας προς αμως ο ορων βαδιζε εκχωρησον εις γην ιουδα και εκει καταβιου και εκει προφητευσεις
[13] εις δε βαιθηλ ουκετι μη προσθης του προφητευσαι οτι αγιασμα βασιλεως εστιν και οικος βασιλειας εστιν
[14] και απεκριθη αμως και ειπεν προς αμασιαν ουκ ημην προφητης εγω ουδε υιος προφητου αλλ η αιπολος ημην και κνιζων συκαμινα
[15] και ανελαβεν με κυριος εκ των προβατων και ειπεν κυριος προς με βαδιζε προφητευσον επι τον λαον μου ισραηλ
[16] και νυν ακουε λογον κυριου συ λεγεις μη προφητευε επι τον ισραηλ και ου μη οχλαγωγησης επι τον οικον ιακωβ
[17] δια τουτο ταδε λεγει κυριος η γυνη σου εν τη πολει πορνευσει και οι υιοι σου και αι θυγατερες σου εν ρομφαια πεσουνται και η γη σου εν σχοινιω καταμετρηθησεται και συ εν γη ακαθαρτω τελευτησεις ο δε ισραηλ αιχμαλωτος αχθησεται απο της γης αυτου
