¹Thus has the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) showed 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.

²And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) , forgive, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi : by whom shall Ya’akov [Heal of God] arise? for he [is] small.

³The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) repented for this: It shall not be, says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) .

⁴Thus has the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) showed unto me: and, behold, the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

⁵Then said I, O Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) , cease, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youi : by whom shall Ya’akov [Heal of God] arise? for he [is] small.

⁶The Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) repented for this: This also shall not be, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehōvih (THE FATHER) .

⁷Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] stood upon a wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

⁸And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, ‘Amos [burden] , what see youi ? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] , Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] : I will not again pass by them any more:

⁹And the high places of Yitz’khak [Laughter] shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Yarov’am [the people will contend] with the sword.

¹⁰Then Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the priest of Beit-El [House of God] sent to Yarov’am [the people will contend] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , saying, ‘Amos [burden] has conspired against youi in the midst of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] : the land is not able to bear all his words.

¹¹For thus ‘Amos [burden] says, Yarov’am [the people will contend] shall die by the sword, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

¹²Also Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] said unto ‘Amos [burden] , O youi seer, go, flee youi away into the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] , and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

¹³But prophesy not again any more at Beit-El [House of God] : for it [is] the king’s chapel, and it [is] the king’s court.

¹⁴Then answered ‘Amos [burden] , and said to Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] , I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet’s son; but I [was] an herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

¹⁵And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] .

¹⁶Now therefore hear youi the word of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) : youi say, Prophesy not against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] , and drop not [youri word] against the house of Yitz’khak [Laughter] .

¹⁷Therefore thus says the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) ; You1s wife shall be an prostitute in the city, and youri sons and youri daughters shall fall by the sword, and youi land shall be divided by line; and youi shall die in a polluted land: and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
