Old/New Testament
7 Thus has the LORD God showed to me. And behold, He formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth. And lo, it was in the latter growth, after the king’s mowing.
2 And when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, “O LORD God, spare, I beg You. Who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small.”
3 So the LORD repented for this. “It shall not be,” said the LORD.
4 Thus has the LORD God showed to me. And behold, the LORD God called to judgment by fire. And it devoured the great deep and ate up a part.
5 Then I said, “O LORD God! Cease, I beg You. Who shall raise up Jacob? For he is small.”
6 So the LORD repented for this. “This also shall not be,” said the LORD God.
7 Thus He showed me. And behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by plumbline, with a plumbline in His hand.
8 And the LORD said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumbline.” Then said the LORD, “Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people, Israel, and will pass by them no more.
9 “And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate. And the temples of Israel shall be destroyed. 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 has 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 says, ‘Jeroboam shall die by the sword. And Israel shall be led away captive out of their own land.’”
12 Also, Amaziah said to Amos, “O you, the Seer! Go! Flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread. And prophesy there.
13 “But prophesy no 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. Nor was I a Prophet’s son. But I was a herdsman, and a gatherer of wild figs.
15 “And the LORD took me as I followed the flock. And the LORD said to me, ‘Go. Prophesy to My people, Israel.’
16 “Now, therefore, hear the Word of the LORD. You say, ‘Do not Prophesy against Israel, and speak nothing against the House of Isaac.’
17 “Therefore, thus says the LORD: “Your wife shall be a harlot in the city. And your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword. And your land shall be divided by plumbline. And you shall die in a polluted land. And Israel shall surely go forth into captivity in this land.”
8 Thus has the LORD God shown to me: Behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2 And He said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then said the LORD to me, “The end has come upon my people of Israel. I will pass by them no more.
3 “And the songs of the Temple shall be howlings on that day,” said the LORD God. “Many dead bodies shall be in every place. They shall cast them forth with silence.”
4 “Hear this, O you who swallow up the poor and may make the needy of the land fail,
5 saying, ‘When will the new month be gone, that we may sell corn; and the Sabbath, that we may set forth wheat and make the ephah small and the shekel great and falsify the weights by deceit?
6 ‘That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat.’”
7 The LORD has sworn by the excellency of Jacob, “Surely, I will never forget any of their works.
8 “Shall not the land tremble for this; and everyone mourn who dwells therein? And it shall rise up, wholly as a flood, and it shall be cast out and drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
9 “And on that day,” says the LORD God, “I will even cause the Sun to go down at noon. I will darken the Earth in the clear day.
10 “And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation. And I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head. And I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD God, “that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Word of the LORD.
12 “And they shall wander from sea to sea. And from the north even to the east shall they run to and fro, to seek the Word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
13 “On that day shall the fair virgins and the young men perish for thirst.
14 “Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and who say, ‘Your God, O Dan, lives!” and, “The manner of Beersheba lives!” even they shall fall and never rise up again.
9 I saw the LORD standing upon the Altar. And He said, “Strike the lintel of the door, so that the posts may shake. And cut them in pieces, even the heads of them all. And I will kill the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not flee away. And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.
2 “Though they dig into Hell, there shall My hand take them. Though they climb up to Heaven, there will I bring them down.
3 “And though they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there. And though they are hidden from My sight in the bottom of the sea, there will I command the serpent, and he shall bite them.
4 “And although they go into captivity before their enemies, there will I command the sword, and it shall slay them. And I will set My eyes upon them for evil, and not for good.”
5 And the LORD God of Hosts shall touch the land, and it shall melt away. And all who dwell therein shall mourn. And it shall rise up wholly like a flood and shall be drowned as by the flood of Egypt.
6 He builds His steps in the heaven; and has laid the foundation of His globe of elements in the earth. He calls the waters of the sea, and pours them out upon the open earth. The LORD is His Name.
7 “Are you not as the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel?” says the LORD. “Have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt; and the Philistines from Caphtor and Aram from Kir?
8 “Behold, the eyes of the LORD God are upon the sinful kingdom. And I will destroy it clean out of the Earth. Nevertheless, I will not utterly destroy the House of Jacob,” says the LORD.
9 “For lo, I will command, and I will sift the House of Israel among all nations, as in a sieve. Still, the least stone shall not fall upon the Earth.
10 “But all the sinners of My people who say, ‘The evil shall not come or hasten for us,” shall die by the sword.
11 “On that day, I will raise up the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and close up the breaches thereof. And I will raise up its ruins. And I will build it, as in the days of old,
12 “that they may possess the remnant of Edom—and of all the heathen—because My Name is called upon them,” says the LORD, Who does this.
13 “Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that the plowman shall touch the mower; and the treader of grapes him who sows seed. And the mountains shall drop sweet wine. And all the hills shall melt.
14 “And I will bring back the captives of My people of Israel. And they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink the wine thereof. They shall also make gardens and eat the fruits of them.
15 “And I will plant them upon their land. And no more shall they be pulled up again out of their land which I have given them,” says the LORD your God.
8 And when He had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in Heaven for about half an hour.
2 And I saw the seven angels who stood before God. And to them were given seven trumpets.
3 Then another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer. And much incense was given to him; which he would offer, with the prayers of all saints, upon the golden altar which is before the throne.
4 And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel’s hand.
5 And the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and cast it into the Earth. And there were voices and thunderings and lightnings and an earthquake.
6 Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to blow the trumpets.
7 So, the first angel blew the trumpet. And there was hail and fire, mingled with blood. And they were cast into the Earth. And a third of the trees was burnt. And all green grass was burnt.
8 And the second angel blew the trumpet. And (as it were) a great mountain, burning with fire, was cast into the sea. And a third of the sea became blood.
9 And a third of the creatures which were in the sea (and had life) died. And a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 Then the third angel blew the trumpet. And there fell a great star from Heaven, burning like a torch. And it fell into a third of the rivers, and into the fountains of waters.
11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood. Therefore, a third of the waters became wormwood. And many men died of the waters because they were made bitter.
12 And the fourth angel blew the trumpet. And a third of the Sun was struck, and a third of the Moon, and a third of the stars; so that a third of them was darkened. And the day was struck, so that a third of it could not shine; and likewise the night.
13 And I looked, and heard one angel flying through the midst of Heaven, saying with a loud voice, “Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the Earth because of the sounds to come of the trumpet of the three angels who are yet to blow the trumpets!”
