1This is what Lord YHWH showed me: Hᴇ formed locusts when the spring crop began shooting up. It was the latter growth after the king’s harvest.
2When they finished eating the grass of the land, then I said, “Lord YHWH, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
3YHWH relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” says YHWH.
4This is what Lord YHWH showed me: Lord YHWH called for judgment by fire, and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
5Then I said, “Lord YHWH, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small.”
6YHWH relented concerning this. “This also will not happen,” says Lord YHWH.
7This is what ʜᴇ showed me: the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in ʜɪꜱ hand.
8YHWH said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”
I said, “A plumb line.”
Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line in the among my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
9The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
11For Amos says, ‘Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will be taken-taken into exile way from its land.’”
12Amaziah also said to Amos, “You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there,
13but don’t prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house!”
14Then Amos answered Amaziah, “I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet’s son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
15and YHWH took me from following the flock, and YHWH said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’
16Now therefore listen to the word of YHWH: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t preach against the house of Isaac.’
17Therefore YHWH says: ‘Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, and your land will be divided by line. You yourself will die in a land that is unclean, and Israel will be taken-taken into exile away from its land.’”
