7 Then the Lord Eternal showed me this,
showed me himself forming a brood of locusts,
just as the spring-crops were coming up,
when the royal crop had been mowed.
2 As they devoured all the green growth, I cried,
“Have mercy, Lord, have mercy!
How can Jacob recover? – he has so little.”
3 Then the Eternal did relent,
the Eternal said, “This shall not be.”
4 The Lord Eternal showed me this,
showed me himself calling down fire
to burn up the great deep,
to burn up the tilled land.
5 “Cease, Lord, oh cease,” I cried.
“How can Jacob recover? – he has so little.”
6 Then the Eternal did relent,
the Eternal said, “This shall not be.”
7 The Lord Eternal showed me this,
showed me himself standing beside a wall,
a plumb-line in his hand.
8 The Eternal said to me,
“Amos, what do you see?”
“A plumb-line,” I replied.
The Eternal said, “With a plumb-line I test my people;
never again will I pardon them,
9 but Isaac’s heights shall be laid waste,
the shrines of Israel shall be ruined,
and I will attack Jeroboam’s house with the sword.”
10 Then the priest at Bethel, Amazĭah, sent word to Jeroboam king of Israel: “Amos is conspiring against you in the very midst of Israel, and the country cannot bear what he is saying. 11 This is what he says, that Jeroboam is to die by the sword, and Israel to go into exile, farm from its own country.” 12 Amazĭah also told Amos, “You dreamer! Be off to Judah and earn your living there; play the prophet there, 13 but never again at Bethel, for it is the royal shrine, the national temple.” 14 But Amos answered Amazĭah, “I am no prophet, no member of any prophets’ guild; I am only a shepherd, and I tend sycamore. 15 But the Eternal took me from the flock; the Eternal said to me, ‘Go and prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 Now then, listen to what the Eternal says. You say that I am not to prophesy against Israel, not to say one word against the house of Isaac. 17 The Eternal says, ‘Your wife shall be a harlot in the town, your sons and daughters shall fall by the sword, your farm shall be divided up, and you yourself shall die in a foreign land; for Israel is indeed to be led off to exile, far from its own country.’ ”
