This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
7 This is what my master Yahweh showed me:
Listen, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and oh no, it was the late crop after the king’s initial harvest. 2 When they’d finished eating everything green across the land, then I asked, “My master Yahweh, please forgive me. How will Israel survive because it’s only a small country?.”
3 So Yahweh backed off from that and said that he wouldn’t do it.
4 This is what my master Yahweh showed me:
Listen, my master Yahweh called on fire to judge the country. It dried up the vast, deep water under the earth and also would have devoured the land 5 except I said, “My master Yahweh, please stop. How will Israel survive because it’s so small?”
6 So Yahweh also backed off from that and said that he wouldn’t do it.
Listen, my master stood on a wall holding a plumb-line 8 and he asked me, “Amos, what do you see?”
“A plumb line,” I answered.
“Listen, I’ll drop a plumb-line down to check out my people Israel,” my master said. “Never again will I spare them. 9 The hilltop shrines of Yitsak (Isaac) will be destroyed.
≈Yisrael’s sanctuaries will be ruined,
and I’ll take action against the house of Yaraveam (Jeroboam) with the sword.”
7:10 Amos and Amasiyas
10 Then Amatsyah, the priest at Beyt-El (Bethel), sent a message to Yisrael’s King Yaraveam, saying: “Amos has conspired against you right among the Israeli people. The country can’t handle all his messages. 11 Amos is saying that you, Yaraveam will die by the sword and and that Israel will definitely get taken into exile away from this land.”
12 Amatsyah ordered Amos, “Hey prophet! Go and run yourself back to the Yehudah region, and earn your living and prophesy there. 13 But you must never again prophesy here at Beyt-El because it’s the king’s sanctuary, and it’s the royal residence.”
14 “I am not a prophet,” Amos answered the priest. “Nor am I a prophet’s son, because I’m a herdsman, plus I take care of an orchard. 15 But Yahweh took me from looking after the flock and told me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 So now listen to Yahweh’s message: You say, ‘Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t speak out against Yitsak’s descendants.’ 17 Therefore this is what Yahweh says:
Your wife will become a prostitute in the city.
Your sons and daughters will die by the sword.
Your property will be measured and divided up.
You’ll die in a foreign, heathen country,
and Israel will certainly be taken into exile from its land.”
