Amos 7

1 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the locust was formed in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter rain, and lo, it was the latter rain after the king’s mowing.

2 And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, I said: O Lord God, be merciful, I beseech thee: who shall raise up Jacob, for he is very little?

and to be if to end: finish to/for to eat [obj] vegetation [the] land: country/planet and to say Lord YHWH/God to forgive please who? to arise: establish Jacob for small he/she/it

3 The Lord had pity upon this: It shall not be, said the Lord.

to be sorry: relent LORD upon this not to be to say LORD

4 These things the Lord God shewed to me: and behold the Lord called for judgment unto fire, and it devoured the great deep, and ate up a part at the same time.

thus to see: see me Lord YHWH/God and behold to call: call to to/for to contend in/on/with fire Lord YHWH/God and to eat [obj] abyss many and to eat [obj] [the] portion

5 And I said: O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee, who shall raise up Jacob, for he is a little one?

and to say Lord YHWH/God to cease please who? to arise: establish Jacob for small he/she/it

6 The Lord had pity upon this. Yea this also shall not be, said the Lord God.

to be sorry: relent LORD upon this also he/she/it not to be to say Lord YHWH/God

7 These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold the Lord was standing upon a plastered wall, and in his hand a mason’s trowel.

thus to see: see me and behold Lord to stand upon wall plumbline and in/on/with hand his plumbline

8 And the Lord said to me: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A mason’s trowel. And the Lord said: Behold, I will lay down the trowel in the midst of my people Israel. I will plaster them over no more.

and to say LORD to(wards) me what? you(m. s.) to see: see Amos and to say plumbline and to say Lord look! I to set: make plumbline in/on/with entrails: among people my Israel not to add: again still to pass to/for him

9 And the high places of the idol shall be thrown down, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste: and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

and be desolate: destroyed high place Isaac and sanctuary Israel to destroy and to arise: attack upon house: household Jeroboam in/on/with sword

10 And Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying: Amos hath rebelled against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.

and to send: depart Amaziah priest Bethel Bethel to(wards) Jeroboam king Israel to/for to say to conspire upon you Amos in/on/with entrails: among house: household Israel not be able [the] land: country/planet to/for to sustain [obj] all word his

11 For thus saith Amos: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be carried away captive out of their own land.

for thus to say Amos in/on/with sword to die Jeroboam and Israel to reveal: remove to reveal: remove from upon land: soil his

12 And Amasias said to Amos: Thou seer, go, flee away into the land of Juda: and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

and to say Amaziah to(wards) Amos seer to go: went to flee to/for you to(wards) land: country/planet Judah and to eat there food: bread and there to prophesy

13 But prophesy not again any more in Bethel: because it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the house of the kingdom.

and to answer Amos and to say to(wards) Amaziah not prophet I and not son: child prophet I for herdsman I and to gather/tend figs sycamore

15 And the Lord took me when I followed the flock, and the Lord said to me: Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

and to take: take me LORD from after [the] flock and to say to(wards) me LORD to go: went to prophesy to(wards) people my Israel

16 And now hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, thou shalt not prophesy against Israel, and thou shalt not drop thy word upon the house of the idol.

and now to hear: hear word LORD you(m. s.) to say not to prophesy upon Israel and not to drip/prophesy upon house: household Isaac

17 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Thy wife shall play the harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be measured by a line: and thou shalt die in a polluted land, and Israel shall go into captivity out of their land.
