ABP - Amos - 7

7:1  Thus [3showed 4to me 1the lord 2God]; and behold, a breed of locusts coming in early morning, and behold [2grasshopper 1one] -- Gog the king.

7:2  And it shall be when [7should be completed 1the 2devouring 3the 4grass 5of the 6land], that I said, O lord, [2kind 1be]! Who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very few?

7:3  Change your mind, O lord, over this! And this shall not be, says the lord.

7:4  Thus [2showed 3to me 1the lord]. And behold [2called 3punishment 4by 5fire 1the lord], and it devoured the [2abyss 1great], and it devoured the portion.

7:5  And I said, O lord God, abate indeed! Who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very few? Change your mind, O lord, over this!

7:6  And this in no way should be, says the lord.

7:7  So [2showed 3to me 1the lord]. And behold, the Lord was standing upon a wall of adamantine, and in his hand adamant.

7:8  And the lord said to me, What do you see, Amos? And I said, Adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I arrange an adamant in the midst of my people Israel; no longer shall I proceed to go by it.

7:9  And [3shall be obliterated 1the shrines 2of laughter]; and the sites of the mystic rites of Israel shall be made desolate. And I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with a broadsword.

7:10  And [4sent out 1Amaziah 2the 3priest] of Beth-el to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, [3a confederacy 2makes 4against 5you 1Amos] in the midst of the house of Israel. In no way will [3be able 1the 2land] to endure all his words.

7:11  For thus says Amos, By the broadsword Jeroboam shall come to an end, and Israel [2captive 1shall be led] from his land.

7:12  And Amaziah said to Amos, the one seeing, Proceed! Withdraw into the land of Judah, and there spend your life! and there you shall prophesy.

7:13  But in Beth-el no longer shall you proceed to prophesy. For [2a sanctuary 3for the king 1it is], and [2a house 3of royalty 1it is].

7:14  And Amos answered and said to Amaziah, I was not a prophet, nor a son of a prophet; but I was a herder, one plucking fruit of the mulberry-tree.

7:15  And [2took 3me 1the lord] from the sheep, and the lord said to me, Proceed and prophesy over my people Israel!

7:16  And now, hear the word of the lord! You say, Prophesy not over Israel! for in no way should you lead a mob against the house of Jacob.

7:17  On account of this, thus says the lord, Your wife [2in 3the 4city 1shall commit harlotry]; and your sons and your daughters [2by 3the broadsword 1shall fall]; and your land [2by 3a measuring line 1shall be measured out]; and you [2in 4land 3an unclean 1shall come to an end]; and Israel [2captive 1shall be led] from his land.
