Amos 7

Verses of Amos 7 of the NIV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts after the king's share had been harvested and just as the second crop was coming up.
2 - When they had stripped the land clean, I cried out, "Sovereign LORD, forgive! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"
3 - So the LORD relented. "This will not happen," the LORD said.
4 - This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: The Sovereign LORD was calling for judgment by fire; it dried up the great deep and devoured the land.
5 - Then I cried out, "Sovereign LORD, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!"
6 - So the LORD relented. "This will not happen either," the Sovereign LORD said.
7 - This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb, with a plumb line in his hand.
8 - And the LORD asked me, "What do you see, Amos?A plumb line," I replied. Then the Lord said, "Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.
9 - "The high places of Isaac will be destroyed and the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined; with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam."
10 - Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel: "Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.
11 - For this is what Amos is saying: "'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile, away from their native land.'"
12 - Then Amaziah said to Amos, "Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.
13 - Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king's sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom."
14 - Amos answered Amaziah, "I was neither a prophet nor a prophet's son, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.
15 - But the LORD took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
16 - Now then, hear the word of the LORD. You say, "'Do not prophesy against Israel, and stop preaching against the house of Isaac.'
17 - "Therefore this is what the LORD says: "'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and daughters will fall by the sword. Your land will be measured and divided up, and you yourself will die in a pagan country. And Israel will certainly go into exile, away from their native land.'"
