Amos 7:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Amos 7:10

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.”
