30:006:013 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not
           taken to us horns by our own strength?

30:006:014 But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of
           Israel, saith the lord the God of hosts; and they shall
           afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of
           the wilderness.

30:007:001 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.

30:007:002 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.

30:007:003 The lord repented for this:  It shall not be, saith the lord.

30:007:004 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.

30:007:005 Then said I, O Lord god, cease, I beseech thee:  by whom shall
           Jacob arise? for he is small.

30:007:006 The lord repented for this:  This also shall not be, saith the
           Lord god.

30:007:007 Thus he shewed me:  and, behold, the lord stood upon a wall
           made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

30:007:008 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: 

30:007:009 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.

30:007:010 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel 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.

30:007:011 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and
           Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

30:007:012 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away
           into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy
           there: 

30:007:013 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel:  for it is the
           king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.

30:007:014 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:
