Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
Amos is not in PT1904.
1 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and, look, 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: Look, 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: Look, the Lord stood beside a wall, with a plumb line in his hand.
·
8 Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Look, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
·
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: “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 back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy.
·
13 But do not prophesy anymore here at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal house.”
·
14 Then Amos said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet nor a prophet's son. I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees.
·
15 But Yahweh took me from tending the flock and 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.'”
