CHAP. VII.
1 The iudgements of the grashoppers, 4 and
of the fire, are diuerted hy the prayer of Amos.
7 By the wall of a plumb-line, is signified
the reiection of Israel. 10 Amaziah
complaineth of Amos. 14 Amos sheweth
his calling, 16 and Amaziahs iudgement.
1
Thus hath the Lord God
shewed vnto me, and behold,
he formed note grassehoppers
in the beginning
of the shooting vp of the
latter grouth: and loe, it was the latter
grouth after the kings mowings.
2
And it came to passe, that when
they had made an ende of eating the
grasse of the land, then I said; O Lord
God, forgiue, I beseech thee, note by
whom shal Iacob arise? for he is small.
3
The Lord repented for this.
It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4
¶ Thus hath the Lord God
shewed vnto me; and behold, the Lord
God called to contend by fire, and it
deuoured the great deepe, and did eate
vp a part.
5
Then said I, O Lord God,
cease, I beseech thee, by whom shal Iacob
arise? for he is small.
6
The Lord repented for
this. This also shall not bee, saith the
Lord God.
7
¶ Thus hee shewed mee, and behold,
the Lord stood vpon a wall made
by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his
hand.
8
And the Lord said vnto mee,
Amos, what seest thou? And I sayd,
A plumb-line. Then sayd the Lord,
-- --
Amos is accused.
Behold, I will set a plumb-line in the
midst of my people Israel, I will not
againe passe by them any more.
9
And the high places of Isaac shall
be desolate, and the Sanctuaries of Israel
shalbe laide waste: and I will rise
against the house of Ieroboam with
the sword.
10
¶ Then Amaziah the Priest of
Beth-el sent to Ieroboam king of Israel,
saying; Amos hath conspired against
thee in the midst of the house of
Israel: the land is not able to beare all
his words.
11
For thus Amos saith, Ieroboam
shall die by the sword, and Israel shall
surely be led away captiue, out of their
owne land.
12
Also Amaziah said vnto Amos,
O thou Seer, goe, flee thee away into
the land of Iudah, and there eate bread,
and prophecie there.
13
But prophecie not againe any
more at Beth-el: for it is the Kings
note Chappell, and it is the note Kings Court.
14
¶ Then answered Amos, and
sayde to Amaziah; I was no Prophet,
neither was I a Prophets sonne, but I
was an heardman, and a gatherer of
note Sycomore fruit.
15
And the Lord tooke me note as I
followed the flocke, and the Lord
said vnto me, Goe, prophecie vnto my
people Israel.
16
¶ Now therefore heare thou the
worde of the Lord; Thou sayest,
Prophecie not against Israel, and note drop
not thy word against the house of Isaac.
17
Therfore thus sayth the Lord;
Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city,
and thy sonnes and thy daughters shall
fall by the sword, and thy land shall be
diuided by line: and thou shalt die in a
polluted land, and Israel shall surely
goe into captiuitie foorth of his land.
