Read Bible Book Of Amos Chapter 7 In Online
1 - This Is What The Sovereign Lord Showed Me: He Was Preparing Swarms Of Locusts After The King's Share Had Been Harvested And Just As The Second Crop Was Coming Up.
2 - When They Had Stripped The Land Clean, I Cried Out, "Sovereign Lord , Forgive! How Can Jacob Survive? He Is So Small!"
3 - So The Lord Relented. "This Will Not Happen," The Lord Said.
4 - This Is What The Sovereign Lord Showed Me: The Sovereign Lord Was Calling For Judgment By Fire; It Dried Up The Great Deep And Devoured The Land.
5 - Then I Cried Out, "Sovereign Lord , I Beg You, Stop! How Can Jacob Survive? He Is So Small!"
6 - So The Lord Relented. "This Will Not Happen Either," The Sovereign Lord Said.
7 - This Is What He Showed Me: The Lord Was Standing By A Wall That Had Been Built True To Plumb, With A Plumb Line In His Hand.
8 - And The Lord Asked Me, "What Do You See, Amos?" "A Plumb Line," I Replied. Then The Lord Said, "Look, I Am Setting A Plumb Line Among My People Israel; I Will Spare Them No Longer.
9 - "The High Places Of Isaac Will Be Destroyed And The Sanctuaries Of Israel Will Be Ruined; With My Sword I Will Rise Against The House Of Jeroboam."
10 - Then Amaziah The Priest Of Bethel Sent A Message To Jeroboam King Of Israel: "Amos Is Raising A Conspiracy Against You In The Very Heart Of Israel. The Land Cannot Bear All His Words.
11 - For This Is What Amos Is Saying: " 'Jeroboam Will Die By The Sword, And Israel Will Surely Go Into Exile, Away From Their Native Land.' "
12 - Then Amaziah Said To Amos, "Get Out, You Seer! Go Back To The Land Of Judah. Earn Your Bread There And Do Your Prophesying There.
13 - Don't Prophesy Anymore At Bethel, Because This Is The King's Sanctuary And The Temple Of The Kingdom."
14 - Amos Answered Amaziah, "I Was Neither A Prophet Nor A Prophet's Son, But I Was A Shepherd, And I Also Took Care Of Sycamore-fig Trees.
15 - But The Lord Took Me From Tending The Flock And Said To Me, 'Go, Prophesy To My People Israel.'
16 - Now Then, Hear The Word Of The Lord . You Say, " 'Do Not Prophesy Against Israel, And Stop Preaching Against The House Of Isaac.'
17 - "Therefore This Is What The Lord Says: " 'Your Wife Will Become A Prostitute In The City, And Your Sons And Daughters Will Fall By The Sword. Your Land Will Be Measured And Divided Up, And You Yourself Will Die In A Pagan Country. And Israel Will Certainly Go Into Exile, Away From Their Native Land.' "
