Book 30 : AMOS - Chapter 007
007:001
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
007:002
The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD
007:003
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
007:004
Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall
Jacob arise? for he is small
007:005
The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the
Lord GOD
007:006
Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall
made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand
007:007
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
007:008
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
007:009
Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel 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
007:010
For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and
Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land
007:011
Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away
into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy
there
007:012
But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the
king's chapel, and it is the king's court
007:013
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
007:014
And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD
said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel
007:015
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
007:016
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
