Amos 7 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Amo 7:1

Amo 7:1Thus the Lord GOD showed me: and, behold, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, behold, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.

Amo 7:2

Amo 7:2It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you! How could Ya`akov stand? For he is small."

Amo 7:3

Amo 7:3The LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says the LORD.

Amo 7:4

Amo 7:4Thus the Lord GOD showed me and, behold, the Lord GOD called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.

Amo 7:5

Amo 7:5Then I said, "Lord GOD, stop, I beg you! How could Ya`akov stand? For he is small."

Amo 7:6

Amo 7:6The LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says the Lord GOD.

Amo 7:7

Amo 7:7Thus he showed me and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

Amo 7:8

Amo 7:8The LORD said to me, "`Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people Yisra'el. I will not again pass by them any more.

Amo 7:9

Amo 7:9The high places of Yitzchak will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Yisra'el will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Yarov`am with the sword."

Amos Accused, Answers

Amo 7:10

Amo 7:10Then Amatzyah the Kohen of Beit-El sent to Yarov`am king of Yisra'el, saying, "`Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Yisra'el. The land is not able to bear all his words.

Amo 7:11

Amo 7:11For `Amos says, 'Yarov`am will die by the sword, and Yisra'el shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"

Amo 7:12

Amo 7:12Amatzyah also said to `Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Yehudah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

Amo 7:13

Amo 7:13but don't prophesy again any more at Beit-El; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house!"

Amo 7:14

Amo 7:14Then `Amos answered Amatzyah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore trees;

Amo 7:15

Amo 7:15and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Yisra'el.'

Amo 7:16

Amo 7:16Now therefore listen to the word of the LORD: 'You say, Don't prophesy against Yisra'el, and don't preach against the house of Yitzchak.'

Amo 7:17

Amo 7:17Therefore thus says the LORD: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Yisra'el shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
