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.

So didH6213 he in BethelH1008, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placedH5975 in BethelH1008 the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116 which he had madeH6213. {offered…: or, went up to the altar, etc} {sacrificing: or, to sacrifice}
Now it came to pass, when JeremiahH3414 had made an endH3615 of speakingH1696 all that the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 him to speakH1696 unto all the peopleH5971, that the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 and all the peopleH5971 tookH8610 him, sayingH559, Thou shalt surelyH4191 dieH4191.
Why hast thou prophesiedH5012 in the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, This houseH1004 shall be like ShilohH7887, and this cityH5892 shall be desolateH2717 without an inhabitantH3427? And all the peopleH5971 were gatheredH6950 against JeremiahH3414 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
When the princesH8269 of JudahH3063 heardH8085 these thingsH1697, then they came upH5927 from the king'sH4428 houseH1004 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, and sat downH3427 in the entryH6607 of the newH2319 gateH8179 of the LORD'SH3068 house. {in the…: or, at the door}
Then spakeH559 the priestsH3548 and the prophetsH5030 unto the princesH8269 and to all the peopleH5971, sayingH559, This manH376 is worthyH4941 to dieH4194; for he hath prophesiedH5012 against this cityH5892, as ye have heardH8085 with your earsH241. {This man…: Heb. The judgment of death is for this man}
Then saidH559 they, ComeH3212, and let us deviseH2803 devicesH4284 against JeremiahH3414; for the lawH8451 shall not perishH6 from the priestH3548, nor counselH6098 from the wiseH2450, nor the wordH1697 from the prophetH5030. ComeH3212, and let us smiteH5221 him with the tongueH3956, and let us not give heedH7181 to any of his wordsH1697. {with…: or, for the tongue}
AfterH310 this thingH1697 JeroboamH3379 returnedH7725 not from his evilH7451 wayH1870, but madeH6213 againH7725 of the lowestH7098 of the peopleH5971 priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116: whosoever wouldH2655, he consecratedH4390+H3027 him, and he became one of the priestsH3548 of the high placesH1116. {made…: Heb. returned and made} {consecrated…: Heb. filled his hand}
And when he was in the gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, a captainH1167 of the wardH6488 was there, whose nameH8034 was IrijahH3376, the sonH1121 of ShelemiahH8018, the sonH1121 of HananiahH2608; and he tookH8610 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, sayingH559, Thou fallest awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778.
Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414, It is falseH8267; I fall not awayH5307 to the ChaldeansH3778. But he hearkenedH8085 not to him: so IrijahH3376 tookH8610 JeremiahH3414, and broughtH935 him to the princesH8269. {false: Heb. falsehood, or, a lie}
Wherefore the princesH8269 were wrothH7107 with JeremiahH3414, and smoteH5221 him, and putH5414 him in prisonH612 in the houseH1004 of JonathanH3083 the scribeH5608: for they had madeH6213 that the prisonH3608.
WhenG1161 they heardG191 these thingsG5023, they were cutG1282 to the heartG2588+G846, andG2532 they gnashedG1031 onG1909 himG846 with their teethG3599.
In the fifteenthH2568+H6240+H8141 yearH8141 of AmaziahH558 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of JudahH3063 JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 began to reignH4427 in SamariaH8111, and reigned fortyH705 and oneH259 yearsH8141.
Therefore the princesH8269 saidH559 unto the kingH4428, We beseech thee, let this manH376 be put to deathH4191: for thusH3651 he weakenethH7503 the handsH3027 of the menH582 of warH4421 that remainH7604 in this cityH5892, and the handsH3027 of all the peopleH5971, in speakingH1696 such wordsH1697 unto them: for this manH376 seekethH1875 not the welfareH7965 of this peopleH5971, but the hurtH7451. {welfare: Heb. peace}
And he didH6213 that which was evilH7451 in the sightH5869 of the LORDH3068: he departedH5493 not from all the sinsH2403 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of NebatH5028, who made IsraelH3478 to sinH2398.
AndG1161 they beganG756 to accuseG2723 himG846, sayingG3004, We foundG2147 thisG5126 fellow pervertingG1294 the nationG1484, andG2532 forbiddingG2967 to giveG1325 tributeG5411 to CaesarG2541, sayingG3004 that he himselfG1438 isG1511 ChristG5547 a KingG935.
And now ye thinkH559 to withstandH2388 the kingdomH6440+H4467 of the LORDH3068 in the handH3027 of the sonsH1121 of DavidH1732; and ye be a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, and there are with you goldenH2091 calvesH5695, which JeroboamH3379 madeH6213 you for godsH430.
SayingG3004, DidG3853 notG3756 we straitlyG3852 commandG3853 youG5213 that ye shouldG1321 notG3361 teachG1321 inG1909 thisG5129 nameG3686? andG2532, beholdG2400, ye have filledG4137 JerusalemG2419 with yourG5216 doctrineG1322, andG2532 intendG1014 to bringG1863 thisG5127 man'sG444 bloodG129 uponG1909 usG2248.
Have ye not cast outH5080 the priestsH3548 of the LORDH3068, the sonsH1121 of AaronH175, and the LevitesH3881, and have madeH6213 you priestsH3548 after the manner of the nationsH5971 of other landsH776? so that whosoever comethH935 to consecrateH4390+H3027 himself with a youngH1121+H1241 bullockH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, the same may be a priestH3548 of them that are noH3808 godsH430. {to consecrate…: Heb. to fill his hand}
ForG1063 we have foundG2147 thisG5126 manG435 a pestilentG3061 fellow, andG2532 a moverG2795 of seditionG4714 among allG3956 the JewsG2453 throughoutG2596 the worldG3625, andG5037 a ringleaderG4414 of the sectG139 of the NazarenesG3480:
Now PashurH6583 the sonH1121 of ImmerH564 the priestH3548, who was also chiefH6496 governorH5057 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, heardH8085 that JeremiahH3414 prophesiedH5012 these thingsH1697.
Then PashurH6583 smoteH5221 JeremiahH3414 the prophetH5030, and putH5414 him in the stocksH4115 that were in the highH5945 gateH8179 of BenjaminH1144, which was by the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
And it came to pass on the morrowH4283, that PashurH6583 brought forthH3318 JeremiahH3414 out of the stocksH4115. Then saidH559 JeremiahH3414 unto him, The LORDH3068 hath not calledH7121 thy nameH8034 PashurH6583, but MagormissabibH4036. {Magormissabib: that is, Fear round about}
The LORDH3068 hath madeH5414 thee priestH3548 in the stead of JehoiadaH3077 the priestH3548, that ye should be officersH6496 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, for every manH376 that is madH7696, and maketh himself a prophetH5012, that thou shouldest putH5414 him in prisonH4115, and in the stocksH6729.
Now therefore why hast thou not reprovedH1605 JeremiahH3414 of AnathothH6069, which maketh himself a prophetH5012 to you?
AndG2532 when heG846 was comeG2064 intoG1519 the templeG2411, the chief priestsG749 andG2532 the eldersG4245 of the peopleG2992 cameG4334 unto himG846 as he was teachingG1321, and saidG3004, ByG1722 whatG4169 authorityG1849 doest thouG4160 these thingsG5023? andG2532 whoG5101 gaveG1325 theeG4671 thisG5026 authorityG1849?
