< Amos 7 >
1 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, He formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.

2 And if it had come to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land — so I said: O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.
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 repented concerning this; 'It shall not be', saith the LORD.
to be sorry: relent LORD upon this not to be to say LORD
4 Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land.
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 Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; how shall Jacob stand? for he is small.

6 The LORD repented concerning this; 'This also shall not be', saith the Lord GOD.

7 Thus He showed me; and, behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.
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 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 pardon them any 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 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.
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 Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el 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.
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 Amos saith: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his 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 Also Amaziah said unto Amos: 'O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, 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 at Beth-el, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house.'
and Bethel Bethel not to add: again still to/for to prophesy for sanctuary king he/she/it and house: home kingdom he/she/it
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah: 'I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a dresser of sycamore-trees;
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 from following the flock, and the LORD said unto me: Go, prophesy unto 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 Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest: Prophesy not against Israel, and preach not against the house of Isaac;
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 be a harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou thyself shalt die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'
