Ang mga Balang sa Pangitain
7 Ito ang pangitaing ipinakita sa akin ng Panginoong Yahweh: Nagpakawala siya ng maraming balang pagkatapos na gapasin ang bahagi ng ani na para sa hari, at habang nagsisimulang tumubo ang pananim. 2 Nakita kong sinimot ng mga balang ang lahat ng halaman sa lupain. At nasabi ko, “Panginoong Yahweh, patawarin mo po ang iyong bayan! Paano pa sila mabubuhay? Sila'y maliliit at mahihina!”
3 Nagbago ang isip ni Yahweh at sinabi niya, “Sige, hindi na mangyayari ang iyong nakita.”
Ang Apoy sa Pangitain
4 Ito ang sumunod na ipinakita sa akin ng Panginoong Yahweh: Handa na siya upang parusahan ang mga tao sa pamamagitan ng apoy. Ang tubig sa kalaliman ng lupa ay tinuyo ng apoy at ngayo'y nasusunog na ang lupain. 5 Kaya't ako'y nakiusap, “Panginoong Yahweh, maawa po kayo sa kanila! Sila'y mahihina't maliliit, baka hindi sila makatagal!”
6 Nagbago ang isip ni Yahweh at ang sabi, “Hindi ko na rin ito hahayaang mangyari.”
Ang Hulog sa Pangitain
7 Ito pa ang ipinakita niya sa akin: Siya'y nakatayo sa tabi ng pader na ginamitan ng hulog. Nakita kong hawak niya ang hulog. 8 Tinanong ako ni Yahweh, “Amos, ano ang nakikita mo?” “Isang hulog po,” sagot ko.
At sinabi niya,
“Sa pamamagitan ng hulog na ito,
ipapakita ko ang pagkakamali ng aking bayang Israel.
Hindi na magbabago pa ang pasya ko, paparusahan ko sila.
9 Mawawasak ang mga altar ng mga salinlahi ni Isaac.
Mawawasak ang mga banal na dako ng Israel.
Sa pamamagitan ng tabak, pupuksain ko ang sambahayan ni Jeroboam.”
Si Amos at si Amazias
10 Si Amazias na pari sa Bethel ay nagsumbong kay Haring Jeroboam ng Israel. “Kasama ng mga tao, si Amos ay may balak na masama laban sa inyo,” sabi niya. “Dahil sa mga sinasabi niya'y nagugulo ang bayan. 11 Sinasabi niyang,
‘Mamamatay si Jeroboam sa digmaan,
at ang Israel ay dadalhing-bihag
sa isang malayong lupain.’”
12 Pagkatapos, hinarap naman ni Amazias si Amos at sinabi, “Tama na iyan, Propeta! Magbalik ka na sa Juda; doon ka mangaral. Hayaan mong sila ang magbayad sa iyo. 13 Huwag ka nang mangaral dito sa Bethel. Narito ang templo ng kaharian at dito sumasamba ang hari.”
14 Sumagot si Amos, “Hindi ako propeta na nangangaral at hindi rin nagsanay na maging isang propeta upang bayaran. Ako'y pastol at nag-aalaga rin ng mga puno ng sikamoro. 15 Ngunit inalis ako ni Yahweh sa gawaing iyon at inutusang magpahayag sa mga taga-Israel para kay Yahweh. 16 Kaya pakinggan ninyo ang sinasabi ni Yahweh. Sinabi ninyo,
‘Huwag kang mangaral laban sa Israel,
at huwag kang mangaral laban sa sambahayan ni Isaac.’
17 Sinasabi ni Yahweh,
‘Ang asawa mo'y magiging babaing bayaran,
at masasawi naman sa digmaan ang iyong mga anak.
Paghahati-hatian ng iba ang iyong lupain at ikaw ay mamamatay.
Sa isang bayang hindi kumikilala kay Yahweh,
ang mga taga-Israel ay dadalhing-bihag sa isang malayong lupain.’”

Warning Visions
7 (A)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, (B)he 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!
(C)How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
3 (D)The Lord relented concerning this:
“It shall not be,” said the Lord.
4 (E)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, the Lord God was calling (F)for 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!
(G)How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!”
6 (H)The Lord relented concerning this:
“This also shall not be,” said the Lord God.
7 (I)This is what he showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with (J)a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the Lord said to me, (K)“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said,
“Behold, I am setting (L)a plumb line
in the midst of my people Israel;
(M)I will never again pass by them;
9 (N)the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste,
and I will rise against (O)the house of Jeroboam with the sword.”
Amos Accused
10 Then Amaziah (P)the priest of Bethel sent to (Q)Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, “Amos has (R)conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words. 11 For thus Amos has said,
“‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword,
and (S)Israel must go into exile
away from his land.’”
12 And Amaziah said to Amos, (T)“O seer, go, flee away (U)to the land of Judah, and (V)eat bread there, and prophesy there, 13 but (W)never again prophesy at Bethel, for (X)it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom.”
14 Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah, (Y)“I was[a] no prophet, nor a prophet's son, but (Z)I was a herdsman and a dresser of sycamore figs. 15 (AA)But the Lord took me from following the flock, and the Lord said to me, ‘Go, prophesy to my people Israel.’ 16 (AB)Now therefore hear the word of the Lord.
“You say, (AC)‘Do not prophesy against Israel,
and (AD)do not preach against the house of (AE)Isaac.’
17 (AF)Therefore thus says the Lord:
“‘Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city,
and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
and your land (AG)shall be divided up with a measuring line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
and (AH)Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.’”

Locusts, Fire and a Plumb Line
7 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(A) He was preparing swarms of locusts(B) after the king’s share had been harvested and just as the late crops were coming up. 2 When they had stripped the land clean,(C) I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, forgive! How can Jacob survive?(D) He is so small!(E)”
3 So the Lord relented.(F)
“This will not happen,” the Lord said.(G)
4 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me: The Sovereign Lord was calling for judgment by fire;(H) it dried up the great deep and devoured(I) the land. 5 Then I cried out, “Sovereign Lord, I beg you, stop! How can Jacob survive? He is so small!(J)”
6 So the Lord relented.(K)
“This will not happen either,” the Sovereign Lord said.(L)
7 This is what he showed me: The Lord was standing by a wall that had been built true to plumb,[a] with a plumb line[b] in his hand. 8 And the Lord asked me, “What do you see,(M) Amos?(N)”
“A plumb line,(O)” I replied.
Then the Lord said, “Look, I am setting a plumb line among my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(P)
9 “The high places(Q) of Isaac will be destroyed
and the sanctuaries(R) of Israel will be ruined;
with my sword I will rise against the house of Jeroboam.(S)”
Amos and Amaziah
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel(T) sent a message to Jeroboam(U) king of Israel: “Amos is raising a conspiracy(V) against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words.(W) 11 For this is what Amos is saying:
“‘Jeroboam will die by the sword,
and Israel will surely go into exile,(X)
away from their native land.’”(Y)
12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, “Get out, you seer!(Z) Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there.(AA) 13 Don’t prophesy anymore at Bethel,(AB) because this is the king’s sanctuary and the temple(AC) of the kingdom.(AD)”
14 Amos answered Amaziah, “I was neither a prophet(AE) nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees.(AF) 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock(AG) and said to me, ‘Go,(AH) prophesy(AI) to my people Israel.’(AJ) 16 Now then, hear(AK) the word of the Lord. You say,
“‘Do not prophesy against(AL) Israel,
and stop preaching against the descendants of Isaac.’
17 “Therefore this is what the Lord says:
