AMOS 7 ©

Readers’ Version

Literal Version

7This 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. 2When 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?.”

3So Yahweh backed off from that and said that he wouldn’t do it.

7thus showed_me my_master YHWH and_see/lo/see he_was_forming locust[s] in/on/at/with_beginning_of the_coming_up the_spring_crop and_see/lo/see a_spring-crop after the_mowings_of the_king’s.
2And_it_was if it_had_finished to_eating DOM the_vegetation_of the_earth/land and_said my_master YHWH forgive please who will_he_stand Yaˊₐqoⱱ/(Jacob) if/because is_small he.
3YHWH He_relented on this not it_will_be YHWH he_said.

4This 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 5except I said, “My master Yahweh, please stop. How will Israel survive because it’s so small?”

6So Yahweh also backed off from that and said that he wouldn’t do it.

4Thus showed_me my_master YHWH and_see/lo/see was_calling for_judgement in/on/at/with_fire my_master YHWH and_she/it_ate DOM the_deep great and_devoured DOM the_land.
5And_said my_master YHWH cease please who will_he_stand Yaˊₐqoⱱ if/because is_small he.
6YHWH He_relented on this also it not it_will_be my_master he_said YHWH.

7This is what he showed me:

Listen, my master stood on a wall holding a plumb-line 8and 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. 9The 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.”

7thus showed_me and_see/lo/see my_master was_standing on a_wall_of tin and_in/on/at/with_hand_of_his tin.
8And_ YHWH _he/it_said to_me what are_you seeing Oh_ʼĀmōʦ and_said tin my_master and_he/it_said see_I am_about_to_put tin in/on/at/with_midst_of people_of_my Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) not I_will_repeat again to_pass_by to_him/it.
9And_ the_high_places_of _made_desolate of_Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac) and_sanctuaries_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) they_will_be_waste and_rise on the_house_of Yārāⱱəˊām/(Jeroboam) in/on/at/with_sword.

10Then 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. 11Amos is saying that you, Yaraveam will die by the sword and and that Israel will definitely get taken into exile away from this land.”

12Amatsyah ordered Amos, “Hey prophet! Go and run yourself back to the Yehudah region, and earn your living and prophesy there. 13But 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. 15But Yahweh took me from looking after the flock and told me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16So now listen to Yahweh’s message: You say, ‘Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t speak out against Yitsak’s descendants.’ 17Therefore 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.”

10and_ ʼAmaʦyāh _sent the_priest_of Bēyt- el to Yārāⱱəˊām the_king_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to_say he_has_conspired against_you ʼĀmōʦ in/on/at/with_midst_of the_house_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) not it_is_able the_earth/land to_endure DOM all_of words_of_his.
11If/because thus ʼĀmōʦ he_has_said in/on/at/with_sword he_will_die Yārāⱱəˊām and_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) certainly_(go_into_exile) it_will_go_into_exile from_under land_of_his.
12and_ ʼAmaʦyāh _he/it_said to ʼĀmōʦ Oh_seer go flee to/for_yourself(m) to the_land_of Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_earn there bread and_there you_will_prophesy.
13And_Bēyt- el not you_must_repeat again to_prophesy if/because is_a_sanctuary_of a_king it and_house_of kingdom it.
14and_ ʼĀmōʦ _answered and_he/it_said to ʼAmaʦyāh not am_a_prophet I and_not am_a_son_of a_prophet I if/because was_a_herdsman I and_took_care_of sycamores.
15And_took_me YHWH from_following the_flock and_he/it_said to_me YHWH go prophesy to people_of_my Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).
16And_now hear the_word_of YHWH you are_saying not you_must_prophesy on Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_not you_must_prophesy on the_house_of Yiʦḩāq/(Isaac).
17For_so/thus/hence thus YHWH he_says wife_of_your in/on/at/with_city she_will_be_a_prostitute and_sons_of_your and_daughters_of_your in/on/at/with_sword they_will_fall and_land_of_your in/on/at/with_measuring_line it_will_be_divided and_you(ms) on ground unclean you_will_die and_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) certainly_(go_into_exile) it_will_go_into_exile from_under land_of_its.
