¶ The .vii. Chapter.
¶ Of the captiuyte of Israel and Iuda.
A The Lorde God shewed me soch a vysyon:
beholde, there stode one that made
greshoppers, euen when the corne
was shotynge forth, after þe; king had clypt
his shepe. Now when they vndertoke to
eate vp all the grene thinges in the lande, I
sayde: O Lord God, be mercyfull, I beseche
the: who shulde els helpe vp Iacob that is
brought so lowe? So the Lorde was gracious
therin, and the Lord sayde: well, it shall
not be. Agayne, þe; Lord shewed me thys visyon:
beholde, the Lorde God called the fyre
to punysh wythall, &abar;d it deuoured þe; great
depe: yee, it c&obar;sumed a parte all redy.
Then sayde I: O Lorde God, holde thyne
hande: for who shulde els helpe vp Iacob þt;
is brought so lowe? So the Lord was mercyfull
therin,
B and the Lorde God sayd: wel,
it shall not be.
Moreouer, he shewed me thys vysy&obar;: beholde,
the Lord stode vpon a plastered wall
and a masons trowel in his hande. And the
Lord sayd vnto me: Amos, what seest thou
I answered: a masons trowell. Then sayde
the Lorde: beholde, I wyll laye the trowell
am&obar;ge my people of Israel, ∧ wyll nomore
ouer se them, but þe; hye hylchapels of Isaac
must be layed waste, and the churches of Israell
made desolate, note &abar;d as for the house of
Ierobo&abar;, I wyll stande vp agaynst it with
the swerde.
C Upon thys sent Amasyah the
prest to Bethel vnto Ieroboam the kynge
of Israel, say&ebar;ge. noteAmos maketh the house
of Israel to rebel agaynst the, þe; l&abar;de can
not awaye wyth hys wordes. For Amos
sayeth, Ierobo&abar; shall dye wyth the swerde,
and Israell shall be led awaye captiue out
of theyr awne lande. And Amasiah sayde
vnto Amos, Gett the h&ebar;ce note (þu; þt; canst se so
well) and fle into the lande of Iuda: get the
there thy lyuinge, and prophecy there: and
prophecy nomore at Bethell, for it is the
kynges chapell, and the kynges courte.
D Amos answered, and sayde to Amasiah:
note As for me I am nether prophet, ner prophetes
sonne: but a keper of catell. Now as
I was breakynge downe molberies, ∧ go&ibar;g
after the catell, the Lorde toke me, &abar;d sayd
vnto me: Go thy waye, and prophecy vnto
my people of Israel. And therfore, heare þu;
nowe the worde of the Lorde: Thou sayest:
prophecy not agaynst Israel, &abar;d speake nothynge
agaynst the house of Isaac. wherfore,
thus sayeth þe; Lord: Thy wyfe shalbe defyled
in the cytie, thy sonnes and daughters
shall be slayne with the swearde, ∧ thy l&abar;de
shalbe measured out wyth þe; line. Thou thy
selfe shalt dye in an vnclene l&abar;de, note ∧ Israel
shalbe dryuen out of his awne contre.
