Bible. Amos
30:006:011 For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great
house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
30:006:012 Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen?
for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of
righteousness into hemlock:
30:006:013 Ye which rejoice in a thing of nought, which say, Have we not
taken to us horns by our own strength?
30:006:014 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.
30:007:001 Thus 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.
30:007:002 And 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.
30:007:003 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
30:007:004 Thus 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.
30:007:005 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall
Jacob arise? for he is small.
30:007:006 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the
Lord GOD.
30:007:007 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall
made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
30:007:008 And 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:
30:007:009 And 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.
30:007:010 Then 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.
30:007:011 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and
Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
30:007:012 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away
into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy
there:
30:007:013 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the
king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
