CAP. VII.
1 These thingus the Lord God shewide
to me; and loo! a maker of locust in
the bygynnyng of buriownynge thingus
of eeuen rayn, and loo! eeuen rayn after
the clipper of floc, or kyng.
2 And it is
don, whanne he eendide for to eete the
herbe of erthe, Y saide, Lord God, be thou
mercyful, Y byseche; who shal reyse Jacob,
for he is litil?
3 The Lord hadde
mercy on this thing; It shal not be, saide
the Lord God.
4 The Lord God shewide
to me this thing; and loo! the Lord God
-- --
shal cleepe dom to fijr, and it shal deuoure
myche depnesse, and shal eet to
gydre a part.
5 And Y saide, Lord God,
reste thou, Y byseche; who shal reise
Jacob, for he is lytil?
6 The Lord hadde
mercy on this thing; Bot and this thing
shal not be, saide the Lord God.
7 The
Lord God shewide to me these thingus;
and loo! the Lord stondynge on a wall
teerid, or morterd, and in the hond of
hym a truel of masoun.
8 And the Lord
saide to me, What seest thou, Amos?
And Y saide, A truel of masoun. And the
Lord saide, Loo! Y shal putte a truel
in mydil of my peple Yrael; Y shal no
more putte to, for to ouer leede hym;
9 and the hee&yogh; thingus of the ydol shuln
be distruyed, and the halewyngis of
Yrael shuln be desolat; and Y shal ryse
on the hous of Jeroboam in swerde.
10 And
Amasie, prest of Bethel, sente to Jeroboam,
kyng of Yrael, sayinge, Amos rebellide
a&yogh;einus thee, in the mydil of the
hous of Yrael; the lond may not susteyne
alle his wordis.
11 Forsothe Amos saith
these thingus, Jeroboam shal dye in swerd,
and Yrael caitif shal passe of his lond.
12 And Amasie saide to Amos, Thou that
seest, go; flee thou in to the lond of Juda,
and eete thou there thi breede; and there
thou shalt prophecie.
13 And in Bethel
thou shalt no more putte to, that thou
prophecie, for it is the halewyng of the
kyng, and is hous of the rewme.
14 And
Amos answerde, and saide to Amasye,
Y am not a prophete, Y am not the sone
of a prophete; but a neet heerde Y am,
drawinge vp sycomoris.
15 And the Lord
toke me, whanne Y suede the floc; and
the Lord saide to me, Go, and prophecie
thou to my peple Yrael.
16 And now heere
thou the word of the Lord. Thou saist,
Thou shalt not prophecie on Yrael, and
thou shalt not droppe on the hous of
ydol.
17 For this thing the Lord saith
-- --
these thingis, Thi wyf in cytee shal do
fornycacioun, and thi sonnys and thi
dou&yogh;ters in swerd shuln falle, and thin
erthe shal be meetyn with a litil coorde;
and thou shalt dye in a polut lond, and
Yrael shal passe caitif of his lond.
