Warning Visions

1 ¹This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, ²he was forming locusts when the latter growth was just beginning to sprout, and behold, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

2 When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said, "O Lord GOD, please forgive! ³How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"

3 ⁴The LORD relented concerning this: "It shall not be," said the LORD.

4 ⁵This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD was calling ⁶for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.

5 Then I said, "O Lord GOD, please cease! ⁷How can Jacob stand? He is so small!"

6 ⁸The LORD relented concerning this: "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.

7 ⁹This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with ¹⁰a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.

8 And the LORD said to me, ¹¹"Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold, I am setting ¹²a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel; ¹³I will never again pass by them;

9 ¹⁴the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste, and I will rise against ¹⁵the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
