Amos 7

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.

7:4 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.

7:5 Then said I, 
O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

7:6 The LORD repented for this: 
This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

7:7 Thus he shewed me: 
and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

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.
