  1. Amos 6:14c. 787 BC

    But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hemath unto the river of the wilderness.

  2. Amos 7:1–17c. 787 BC

    1Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

    2And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

    3The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.

    4Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

    5Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

    6The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

    7Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

    8And the LORD said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more:

    9And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

    10Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

    11For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

    12Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

    13But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

    14Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:

    15And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.

    16Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.

    17Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.

  3. Amos 8:1–7c. 787 BC

    1Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

    2And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

    3And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.

    4Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

    5Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?

    6That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

    7The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
