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:
