Amos 7

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The LORD and King gave me a vision. He was bringing large numbers of locusts on the land. The king's share of the first crop had already been harvested. Now the second crop was coming up.

2 The locusts stripped the land clean. Then I cried out, "LORD and King, forgive Israel! How can Jacob's people continue? They are such a weak nation!"

3 So the LORD had pity on them. "I will let them continue for now," he said.

4 The LORD and King gave me a second vision. He was using fire to punish his people. It dried up the deep waters. It burned the land up.

5 Then I cried out, "LORD and King, please stop! How can Jacob's people continue? They are such a weak nation!"

6 So the LORD had pity on them. "I will let them continue for now," the LORD and King said.

7 Then the Lord gave me a third vision. He was standing by a wall. It had been built very straight, all the way up and down. He was holding a plumb line.

8 The LORD asked me, "What do you see, Amos?" "A plumb line," I replied. Then the Lord said, "Look at what I am doing. I am hanging a plumb line next to my people Israel. It will show how crooked they are. I will no longer spare them.

9 "The high places where Isaac's people worship other gods will be destroyed. The other places of worship in Israel will also be torn down. I will use my sword to attack Jeroboam's royal family."

10 Amaziah was priest of Bethel. He sent a message to Jeroboam, the king of Israel. He said, "Amos is making evil plans against you right here in Israel. The people in the land can't stand to listen to what he's saying.

11 Amos is telling them, " 'Jeroboam will be killed with a sword. The people of Israel will be taken away as prisoners. They will be carried off from their own land.' "

12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, "Get out of Israel, you prophet! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your living there. Do your prophesying there.

13 Don't prophesy here at Bethel anymore. This is where the king worships. The main temple in the kingdom is located here."

14 Amos answered Amaziah, "I was not a prophet. I wasn't even a prophet's son. I was a shepherd. I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.

15 But the LORD took me away from taking care of the flock. He said to me, 'Go. Prophesy to my people Israel.'

16 Now then, listen to the LORD's message. You say, " 'Don't prophesy against Israel. Stop preaching against the people of Isaac.'

17 "But the LORD says, " 'Your wife will become a prostitute in the city of Bethel. Your sons and daughters will be killed with swords. Your land will be measured and divided up. And you yourself will die in another country. The people of Israel will be taken away as prisoners. They will be carried off from their own land.' "

3 misertus est Dominus super hoc non erit dixit Dominus

4 haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus et ecce vocabat iudicium ad ignem Dominus Deus et devoravit abyssum multam et comedit simul partem

7 haec ostendit mihi et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum et in manu eius trulla cementarii

8 et dixit Dominus ad me quid tu vides Amos et dixi trullam cementarii et dixit Dominus ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israhel non adiciam ultra superinducere eum

9 et demolientur excelsa idoli et sanctificationes Israhel desolabuntur et consurgam super domum Hieroboam in gladio

10 et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Hieroboam regem Israhel dicens rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israhel non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius

11 haec enim dicit Amos in gladio morietur Hieroboam et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua

12 et dixit Amasias ad Amos qui vides gradere fuge in terram Iuda et comede ibi panem et ibi prophetabis

13 et in Bethel non adicies ultra ut prophetes quia sanctificatio regis est et domus regni est

14 et respondit Amos et dixit ad Amasiam non sum propheta et non sum filius prophetae sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros

16 et nunc audi verbum Domini tu dicis non prophetabis super Israhel et non stillabis super domum idoli

17 propter hoc haec dicit Dominus uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur et filii tui et filiae tuae in gladio cadent et humus tua funiculo metietur et tu in terra polluta morieris et Israhel captivus migrabit de terra sua
