Chapter 7
Amos AB 7:1  Thus has the Lord God showed me; and behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and behold, one caterpillar, King Gog.
Amos AB 7:2  And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small in number.
Amos AB 7:3  Relent, O Lord, of this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.
Amos AB 7:4  Thus has the Lord showed me; and behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.
Amos AB 7:5  Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray: who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small in number. Relent, O Lord, of this.
Amos AB 7:7  Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, He stood upon a wall made with a plumb line, and in His hand was a plumb line.
Amos AB 7:8  And the Lord said to me, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A plumb line. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore.
Amos AB 7:9  And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Amos AB 7:10  Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.
Amos AB 7:11  For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.
Amos AB 7:12  And Amaziah said to Amos, Go, seer, remove yourself to the land of Judah, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:
Amos AB 7:13  but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel-for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.
Amos AB 7:14  And Amos answered, and said to Amaziah, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a sheepbreeder, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.
Amos AB 7:15  And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to My people Israel.
Amos AB 7:16  And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Do not prophesy to Israel, and do not raise a tumult against the house of Jacob.
Amos AB 7:17  Therefore thus says the Lord; 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 measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
