Vision of the Locusts
1 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the1 beginning of the late crop; indeed it was the late crop after the king’s mowings.
2 And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said:
“O Lord God, forgive, I pray!
aOh,1 that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!”
“O Lord God, forgive, I pray!
aOh,1 that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!”
Vision of the Fire
4 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, the Lord God called1 for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the2 territory.
Vision of the Plumb Line
7 Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand.
8 And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said:
“Behold, aI am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
bI will not pass by them anymore.
“Behold, aI am setting a plumb line
In the midst of My people Israel;
bI will not pass by them anymore.
