- Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: and behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
- It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
- Yahweh relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says Yahweh.
- Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me and behold, the Lord Yahweh called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
- Then I said, "Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
- Yahweh relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the Lord Yahweh.
- Thus he showed me and behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
- Yahweh said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
- The 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."
- Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
- For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
- Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
- but don't prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house!"
- Then 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;
- and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
- Now therefore listen to the word of Yahweh: 'You say, Don't prophesy against Israel, and don't preach against the house of Isaac.'
- Therefore thus says Yahweh: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"

- כה הראני אדני יהוה והנה יוצר גבי בתחלת עלות הלקש והנה־לקש אחר גזי המלך׃
- והיה אם־כלה לאכול את־עשב הארץ ואמר אדני יהוה סלח־נא מי יקום יעקב כי קטן הוא׃
- נחם יהוה על־זאת לא תהיה אמר יהוה׃
- כה הראני אדני יהוה והנה קרא לרב באש אדני יהוה ותאכל את־תהום רבה ואכלה את־החלק׃
- ואמר אדני יהוה חדל־נא מי יקום יעקב כי קטן הוא׃
- נחם יהוה על־זאת גם־היא לא תהיה אמר אדני יהוה׃ ס
- כה הראני והנה אדני נצב על־חומת אנך ובידו אנך׃
- ויאמר יהוה אלי מה־אתה ראה עמוס ואמר אנך ויאמר אדני הנני שם אנך בקרב עמי ישראל לא־אוסיף עוד עבור לו׃
- ונשמו במות ישחק ומקדשי ישראל יחרבו וקמתי על־בית ירבעם בחרב׃ ף
- וישלח אמציה כהן בית־אל אל־ירבעם מלך־ישראל לאמר קשר עליך עמוס בקרב בית ישראל לא־תוכל הארץ להכיל את־כל־דבריו׃
- כי־כה אמר עמוס בחרב ימות ירבעם וישראל גלה יגלה מעל אדמתו׃ ס
- ויאמר אמציה אל־עמוס חזה לך ברח־לך אל־ארץ יהודה ואכל־שם לחם ושם תנבא׃
- ובית־אל לא־תוסיף עוד להנבא כי מקדש־מלך הוא ובית ממלכה הוא׃ ס
- ויען עמוס ויאמר אל־אמציה לא־נביא אנכי ולא בן־נביא אנכי כי־בוקר אנכי ובולס שקמים׃
- ויקחני יהוה מאחרי הצאן ויאמר אלי יהוה לך הנבא אל־עמי ישראל׃
- ועתה שמע דבר־יהוה אתה אמר לא תנבא על־ישראל ולא תטיף על־בית ישחק׃
- לכן כה־אמר יהוה אשתך בעיר תזנה ובניך ובנתיך בחרב יפלו ואדמתך בחבל תחלק ואתה על־אדמה טמאה תמות וישראל גלה יגלה מעל אדמתו׃ ס

- Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus : et ecce fictor locustæ in principio germinantium serotini imbris, et ecce serotinus post tonsionem regis.
- Et factum est, cum consummasset comedere herbam terræ, dixi : Domine Deus, propitius esto, obsecro ; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est ?
- Misertus est Dominus super hoc : Non erit, dixit Dominus.
- Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus : et ecce vocabat judicium ad ignem Dominus Deus ; et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem.
- Et dixi : Domine Deus, quiesce, obsecro ; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est ?
- Misertus est Dominus super hoc : Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus.
- Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus : et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu ejus trulla cæmentarii.
- Et dixit Dominus ad me : Quid tu vides, Amos ? Et dixi : Trullam cæmentarii. Et dixit Dominus : Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israël ; non adjiciam ultra superinducere eum.
- Et demolientur excelsa idoli, et sanctificationes Israël desolabuntur, et consurgam super domum Jeroboam in gladio.
- Et misit Amasias, sacerdos Bethel, ad Jeroboam, regem Israël, dicens : Rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israël ; non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones ejus.
- Hæc enim dicit Amos : In gladio morietur Jeroboam, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.
- Et dixit Amasias ad Amos : Qui vides, gradere : fuge in terram Juda, et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi.
- Et in Bethel non adjicies ultra ut prophetes, quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.
- Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam : Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetæ : sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros.
- Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem, et dixit Dominus ad me : Vade, propheta ad populum meum Israël.
- Et nunc audi verbum Domini : Tu dicis : Non prophetabis super Israël, et non stillabis super domum idoli.
- Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus : Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur, et filii tui et filiæ tuæ in gladio cadent, et humus tua funiculo metietur : et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.

| Amos 7 Text (KJV)
|
- 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.
- 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.
- The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
- 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.
- Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
- The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
- Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
- Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
- But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
- 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:
- And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
- 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.
- 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.
