THUS hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023383">2</a>. And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023384">3</a>. The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023385">4</a>. Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023386">5</a>. Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023387">6</a>. The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023388">7</a>. Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023389">8</a>. And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023390">9</a>. And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023391">10</a>. Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023392">11</a>. For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023393">12</a>. Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023394">13</a>. But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023395">14</a>. Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023396">15</a>. And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023397">16</a>. Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1023398">17</a>. Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.</li>
