7 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Behold, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and, behold, it was the late crop after the king’s harvest. 2 When they finished eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, please forgive; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.” 3 Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” he said.
4 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me: Behold, the Lord Yahweh called on fire to judge. It dried the vast, deep water under the earth and would have devoured the land, also. 5 But I said, “Lord Yahweh, please stop; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.” 6 Yahweh relented concerning this, “This also will not happen,” said the Lord Yahweh.
7 This is what he showed me: Behold, the Lord stood beside a wall with a plumb line, and the plumb line was in his hand. 8 Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. Never again will I spare them.
9 The high places of Isaac will be destroyed,
the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined,
and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
10 Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel, saying: “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words. 11 For this is what Amos said,
‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile away from his land.’ ” 12 Amaziah said to Amos, “Seer, go, run yourself back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy. 13 But you must never again prophesy here at Bethel, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is a royal house.”
14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet nor am I a prophet’s son, for I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees. 15 But Yahweh took me from tending the flock, and Yahweh said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 Now hear the word of Yahweh. You say, ‘Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not speak against the house of Isaac.’ 17 Therefore this is what Yahweh says,
‘Your wife will be a prostitute in the city;
your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword;
your land will be measured and divided up;
you will die in an unclean land,
and Israel will surely go into exile from his land.’ ”
