| 7:12 | And Amaziah saith unto Amos, `Seer, go flee for thee unto the land of Judah, and eat there bread, and there thou dost prophesy; |
| 7:13 | and `at' Beth-El do not add to prophesy any more, for it `is' the king's sanctuary, and it `is' the royal house.' |
| 7:14 | And Amos answereth and saith unto Amaziah, `I `am' no prophet, nor a prophet's son `am' I, but a herdsman I `am', and a cultivator of sycamores, |
| 7:15 | and Jehovah taketh me from after the flock, and Jehovah saith unto me, Go, prophesy unto My people Israel. |
| 7:16 | And now, hear a word of Jehovah: thou art saying, Do not prophesy against Israel, nor drop `any thing' against the house of Isaac, |
| 7:17 | therefore thus said Jehovah: Thy wife in the city doth go a-whoring, And thy sons and thy daughters by sword do fall, And thy land by line is apportioned, And thou on an unclean land diest, And Israel certainly removeth from off its land.' |
| 7:1 | 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. |
| 7:2 | 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. |
| 7:3 | The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD. |

| 7:8 | 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: |
| 7:9 | 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. |
| 7:10 | 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. |
| 7:11 | For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. |
| 7:12 | Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: |
| 7:13 | But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court. |
| 7:14 | 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: |
| 7:15 | And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. |
| 7:16 | 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. |
| 7:17 | 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. |
| 7:1 | The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And, behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the coming up of the late grass; even behold, the late grass after the mowings of the king. |
| 7:2 | And it happened when it had made an end of eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, Lord Jehovah, I beg You, forgive. How can Jacob stand? For he is small. |
| 7:3 | Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah. |
| 7:4 | The Lord Jehovah made me to see this: And, behold, the Lord Jehovah was calling to contend by fire. And it consumed the great deep, and it was devouring part of it. |
| 7:5 | Then I said, Lord Jehovah, I beg You, stop. How can Jacob stand? For he is small. |
| 7:6 | Jehovah repented concerning this: It shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah. |
| 7:7 | He made me see this: And, behold, the Lord was standing by the plumb line wall, and a plumb line in His hand. |
| 7:8 | And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel. I will not again pass over him any more. |
| 7:9 | And the high places of Isaac shall be desolated, and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. |
| 7:10 | Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam, the king of Israel, saying, has plotted against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to endure all his words. |
| 7:11 | For so says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely go into exile out of his land. |
| 7:12 | And Amaziah said to Amos, Seer, go! Flee for yourself into the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there. |
| 7:13 | But do not again prophesy at Bethel any more, for it is the king's holy place, and it is the royal house. |
| 7:14 | Then answered and said to Amaziah: I was not a prophet, nor was I a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman and a gatherer from sycamore trees. |
| 7:15 | And Jehovah took me from behind the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel. |
| 7:16 | Now, then, hear the word of Jehovah: You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop words against the house of Isaac. |
| 7:17 | So Jehovah says this: 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 divided by a line. And you shall die in a defiled land. And Israel shall surely go into exile from his land. |
