Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me; and, behold, he formedH3335 grasshoppersH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927 of the latter growthH3954; and, lo, it was the latter growthH3954 afterH310 the king'sH4428 mowingsH1488. {grasshoppers: or, green worms}
And it came to pass, that when they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: It shall not be, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and, behold, the LordH136 GODH3069 calledH7121 to contendH7378 by fireH784, and it devouredH398 the greatH7227 deepH8415, and did eat upH398 a partH2506.
Then saidH559 I, O LordH136 GODH3069, ceaseH2308, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: This also shall not be, saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Thus he shewedH7200 me: and, behold, the LordH136 stoodH5324 upon a wallH2346 made by a plumblineH594, with a plumblineH594 in his handH3027.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A plumblineH594. Then saidH559 the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more:
And the high placesH1116 of IsaacH3446 shall be desolateH8074, and the sanctuariesH4720 of IsraelH3478 shall be laid wasteH2717; and I will riseH6965 against the houseH1004 of JeroboamH3379 with the swordH2719.
Then AmaziahH558 the priestH3548 of BethelH1008 sentH7971 to JeroboamH3379 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, AmosH5986 hath conspiredH7194 against thee in the midstH7130 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478: the landH776 is not ableH3201 to bearH3557 all his wordsH1697.
For thus AmosH5986 saithH559, JeroboamH3379 shall dieH4191 by the swordH2719, and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 be led away captiveH1540 out of their own landH127.
Also AmaziahH558 saidH559 unto AmosH5986, O thou seerH2374, goH3212, flee thee awayH1272 into the landH776 of JudahH3063, and there eatH398 breadH3899, and prophesyH5012 there:
But prophesyH5012 not againH3254 any more at BethelH1008: for it is the king'sH4428 chapelH4720, and it is the king'sH4467 courtH1004. {chapel: or, sanctuary} {king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom}
Then answeredH6030 AmosH5986, and saidH559 to AmaziahH558, I was no prophetH5030, neither was I a prophet'sH5030 sonH1121; but I was an herdmanH951, and a gathererH1103 of sycomore fruitH8256: {sycomore…: or, wild figs}
And the LORDH3068 tookH3947 me as I followedH310 the flockH6629, and the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, GoH3212, prophesyH5012 unto my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. {as…: Heb. from behind}
Now therefore hearH8085 thou the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068: Thou sayestH559, ProphesyH5012 not against IsraelH3478, and dropH5197 not thy word against the houseH1004 of IsaacH3446.
Therefore thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; Thy wifeH802 shall be an harlotH2181 in the cityH5892, and thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 shall fallH5307 by the swordH2719, and thy landH127 shall be dividedH2505 by lineH2256; and thou shalt dieH4191 inH5921 a pollutedH2931 landH127: and IsraelH3478 shall surelyH1540 go into captivityH1540 forth of his landH127.

Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, JeremiahH3414, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a rodH4731 of an almond treeH8247.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Thou hast wellH3190 seenH7200: for I will hastenH8245 my wordH1697 to performH6213 it.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559, What seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a seethingH5301 potH5518; and the faceH6440 thereof is towardH6440 the northH6828. {toward…: Heb. from the face of the north}
The LORDH3068 hath purposedH2803 to destroyH7843 the wallH2346 of the daughterH1323 of ZionH6726: he hath stretched outH5186 a lineH6957, he hath not withdrawnH7725 his handH3027 from destroyingH1104: therefore he made the rampartH2426 and the wallH2346 to lamentH56; they languishedH535 togetherH3162. {destroying: Heb. swallowing up}
And he saidH559, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935 upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254 passH5674 by them any more.
And he saidH559 unto me, What seestH7200 thou? And I answeredH559, I seeH7200 a flyingH5774 rollH4039; the lengthH753 thereof is twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof tenH6235 cubitsH520.
Thou hast forsakenH5203 me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, thou art goneH3212 backwardH268: therefore will I stretch outH5186 my handH3027 against thee, and destroyH7843 thee; I am wearyH3811 with repentingH5162.
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto the landH127 of IsraelH3478; An endH7093, the endH7093 is comeH935 upon the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the landH776.
Now is the endH7093 come upon thee, and I will sendH7971 mine angerH639 upon thee, and will judgeH8199 thee according to thy waysH1870, and will recompenseH5414 upon thee all thine abominationsH8441. {recompense: Heb. give}
And mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347 thee, neither will I have pityH2550: but I will recompenseH5414 thy waysH1870 upon thee, and thine abominationsH8441 shall be in the midstH8432 of thee: and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068.
Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; An evilH7451, an onlyH259 evilH7451, behold, is comeH935.
An endH7093 is comeH935, the endH7093 is comeH935: it watchethH6974 for thee; behold, it is comeH935. {watcheth for: Heb. awaketh against}
The morningH6843 is comeH935 unto thee, O thou that dwellestH3427 in the landH776: the timeH6256 is comeH935+H935, the dayH3117 of troubleH4103 is nearH7138, and not the sounding againH1906 of the mountainsH2022. {sounding…: or, echo}
Now will I shortlyH7138 pour outH8210 my furyH2534 upon thee, and accomplishH3615 mine angerH639 upon thee: and I will judgeH8199 thee according to thy waysH1870, and will recompenseH5414 thee for all thine abominationsH8441.
And mine eyeH5869 shall not spareH2347, neither will I have pityH2550: I will recompenseH5414 thee according to thy waysH1870 and thine abominationsH8441 that are in the midstH8432 of thee; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am the LORDH3068 that smitethH5221. {thee according: Heb. upon thee, etc}
Who is a GodH410 like unto thee, that pardonethH5375 iniquityH5771, and passeth byH5674 the transgressionH6588 of the remnantH7611 of his heritageH5159? he retainethH2388 not his angerH639 for everH5703, because he delightethH2654 in mercyH2617.
