Gräshopporna
7 Detta lät Herren, Herren mig se:
Jag såg gräshoppor skapas när sommargräset började växa upp. Det var sommargräset efter kungsslåttern. 2 När de hade ätit upp allt grönt i landet sade jag: "Herre, Herre, förlåt! Hur skall Jakob kunna bestå, han som är så obetydlig?" 3 Då ångrade Herren detta. "Det skall inte ske", sade Herren.
Elden
4 Detta lät Herren, Herren mig se:
Jag såg att Herren, Herren kallade på elden för att utföra hans sak. Och elden förtärde det stora djupet och höll på att förtära landet. 5 Då sade jag: "Herre, Herre, sluta! Hur skall Jakob kunna bestå, han som är så obetydlig?" 6 Då ångrade Herren detta. "Inte heller detta skall ske", sade Herren Herren.
Sänklodet
7 Detta lät han mig se:
Jag såg Herren stå på en lodrät mur, och i sin hand höll han ett blylod. 8 Och Herren sade till mig: "Vad ser du, Amos?" Jag svarade: "Ett blylod." Då sade Herren: "Se, jag skall hänga upp ett blylod mitt ibland mitt folk Israel. Jag skall inte skona dem ytterligare en gång.
9 Isaks offerhöjder skall bli ödelagda och Israels helgedomar förstörda och mot Jerobeams hus skall jag resa mig upp med svärdet."
Amos och prästen i Betel
10 Amasja, prästen i Betel, sände bud till Jerobeam, Israels kung, och lät säga: "Amos har anstiftat en sammansvärjning mot dig mitt i Israel. Landet härdar inte ut med allt hans ordande. 11 Ty så har Amos sagt: Jerobeam skall dö genom svärd och Israel skall föras bort i fångenskap från sitt land."
12 Och Amasja sade till Amos: "Du siare, gå din väg och fly till Juda land. Tjäna där ditt levebröd och profetera där! 13 Men i Betel får du inte profetera mer, för det är en kunglig helgedom och ett rikets tempel." 14 Amos svarade Amasja: "Jag är inte en profet, en yrkesprofet.[a] Jag är en boskapsherde som lever av mullbärsfikon. 15 Men Herren tog mig från hjorden och Herren sade till mig:
Gå och profetera för mitt folk Israel.
16 Så hör nu Herrens ord. Du säger:
Profetera inte mot Israel
och tala inte mot Isaks hus.
17 Därför säger Herren så:
Din hustru skall bli en hora i staden,
dina söner och döttrar skall falla för svärd,
din jord skall utskiftas med mätsnöre.
Själv skall du dö i ett orent land,
och Israel skall föras bort i fångenskap från sitt land."

Amos 7
King James Version
7 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers 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 it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord God, forgive, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
3 The Lord repented for this: It shall not be, saith the Lord.
4 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
5 Then said I, O Lord God, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
6 The Lord repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord God.
7 Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
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 pass by them any more:
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.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel 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.
11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
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:
13 But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
14 Then answered Amos, and said to Amaziah, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
15 And the Lord took me as I followed the flock, and the Lord said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
16 Now therefore hear thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
17 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be an 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 shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his 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:
