Amos 7:1-9 - Warning Visions
1 Thus the Lord Jehovah caused me to see; and behold, he will form locusts in the beginning of the coming up of the latter grass; and behold, the latter grass after the moorings of the king. 2 And it was if he finished to devour the green herb of the land, and saying, O Lord Jehovah, forgive now: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small.
3 Jehovah lamented for this: It shall not be, said Jehovah.
4 Thus the Lord Jehovah caused me to see: and behold, the Lord Jehovah called to contend with fire, and it will devour the great deep, and devoured the portion. 5 And saying, O Lord Jehovah, cease now: who shall cause Jacob to rise? for he is small.
6 Jehovah lamented for this: Also this shall not be, said the Lord Jehovah.
7 Thus he caused me to see: and behold, Jehovah stood upon a wall of lead, and lead in his hand. 8 And Jehovah will say to me, What seest thou, Amos? And saying, Lead. And Jehovah will say to me: Behold me setting lead in the midst of my people Israel: I will no more add to pass by to him.
9 And the heights of Isaak were made desolate, and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste; and I rose up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
