Amos 7:1-9 - Warning Visions
1 The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the coming up of the late grass; even behold, the late grass after the king's mowings. 2 And it happened when it had made an end of eating the tender plant of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I pray You. How can Jacob stand? For he is small.
3 Jehovah repented for this; It shall not be, says Jehovah.
4 The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, the Lord Jehovah was calling to contend by fire. And it consumed the great deep, and it was devouring part of it. 5 Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, I pray You, cease. How can Jacob stand? For he is small.
6 Jehovah repented for this; This also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.
7 He made me see this: And behold, the Lord was standing by the plumbline-wall, and a plumbline in His hand. 8 And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumbline. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
9 And the high places of Isaac shall be wasted, and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
