Amos 7:9-17

And the high places
<01116>
of Isaac
<03446>
shall be desolate
<08074> (8738)_,
and the sanctuaries
<04720>
of Israel
<03478>
shall be laid waste
<02717> (8799)_;
and I will rise
<06965> (8804)
against the house
<01004>
of Jeroboam
<03379>
with the sword
<02719>_.
Then Amaziah
<0558>
the priest
<03548>
of Bethel
<01008>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Jeroboam
<03379>
king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Amos
<05986>
hath conspired
<07194> (8804)
against thee in the midst
<07130>
of the house
<01004>
of Israel
<03478>_:
the land
<0776>
is not able
<03201> (8799)
to bear
<03557> (8687)
all his words
<01697>_.
For thus Amos
<05986>
saith
<0559> (8804)_,
Jeroboam
<03379>
shall die
<04191> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and Israel
<03478>
shall surely
<01540> (8800)
be led away captive
<01540> (8799)
out of their own land
<0127>_.
Also Amaziah
<0558>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto Amos
<05986>_,
O thou seer
<02374>_,
go
<03212> (8798)_,
flee thee away
<01272> (8798)
into the land
<0776>
of Judah
<03063>_,
and there eat
<0398> (8798)
bread
<03899>_,
and prophesy
<05012> (8735)
there:
But prophesy
<05012> (8736)
not again
<03254> (8686)
any more at Bethel
<01008>_:
for it [is] the king's
<04428>
chapel
<04720>_,
and it [is] the king's
<04467>
court
<01004>_.
{chapel: or, sanctuary} {king's court: Heb. house of the kingdom}
Then answered
<06030> (8799)
Amos
<05986>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to Amaziah
<0558>_,
I [was] no prophet
<05030>_,
neither [was] I a prophet's
<05030>
son
<01121>_;
but I [was] an herdman
<0951>_,
and a gatherer
<01103> (8802)
of sycomore fruit
<08256>_:
{sycomore...: or, wild figs}
And the LORD
<03068>
took
<03947> (8799)
me as I followed
<0310>
the flock
<06629>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Go
<03212> (8798)_,
prophesy
<05012> (8734)
unto my people
<05971>
Israel
<03478>_.
{as...: Heb. from behind}
Now therefore hear
<08085> (8798)
thou the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_:
Thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,
Prophesy
<05012> (8735)
not against Israel
<03478>_,
and drop
<05197> (8686)
not [thy word] against the house
<01004>
of Isaac
<03446>_.
Therefore thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Thy wife
<0802>
shall be an harlot
<02181> (8799)
in the city
<05892>_,
and thy sons
<01121>
and thy daughters
<01323>
shall fall
<05307> (8799)
by the sword
<02719>_,
and thy land
<0127>
shall be divided
<02505> (8792)
by line
<02256>_;
and thou shalt die
<04191> (8799)
in
<05921>
a polluted
<02931>
land
<0127>_:
and Israel
<03478>
shall surely
<01540> (8800)
go into captivity
<01540> (8799)
forth of his land
<0127>_.
