Compare all

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. 
5 Then I said:
“O Lord God, cease, I pray!
aOh, that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!” 
6 So the Lord relented concerning this.
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.

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. 
9 aThe1 high places of Isaac shall be desolate,
And the1 sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste.
bI will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”  

Amaziah’s Complaint

10 Then Amaziah the apriest of bBethel sent to cJeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to1 bear all his words.  
11 For thus Amos has said:
‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
And Israel shall surely be led away acaptive
From their own land.’ ”  
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos:
“Go, you seer!
Flee to the land of Judah.
There eat bread,
And there prophesy.
13 But anever again prophesy at Bethel,
bFor it is the king’s1 sanctuary,
And it is the royal1 residence.”  
14 Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:
“I was no prophet,
Nor was I aa son of a prophet,
But I was a bsheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit. 
15 Then the Lord took me1 as I followed the flock,
And the Lord said to me,
‘Go, aprophesy to My people Israel.’
