1Thus has the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) showed 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.

2And it came to pass, [that] when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER), forgive, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youⁱ: by whom shall Ya’akov [Heal of God] arise? for he [is] small.

3The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) repented for this: It shall not be, says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).

4Thus has the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) showed unto me: and, behold, the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER) called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.

5Then said I, O Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER), cease, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) youⁱ: by whom shall Ya’akov [Heal of God] arise? for he [is] small.

6The LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) repented for this: This also shall not be, says the Lord-Adonai [Greatest Above All Things] GOD-Yehoveeh (THE FATHER).

7Thus he showed me: and, behold, the Lord-Adonai (The Father)[Greatest Above All Things] stood upon a wall [made] by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

8And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, ‘Amos [burden], what see youⁱ? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord-Adonai (The Father)[Greatest Above All Things], Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: I will not again pass by them any more:

9And the high places of Yitz’khak [Laughter] shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Yarov’am [the people will contend] with the sword.

10Then Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] the priest of Beit-El [House of God] sent to Yarov’am [the people will contend] king of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], saying, ‘Amos [burden] has conspired against youⁱ in the midst of the house of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: the land is not able to bear all his words. 11For thus ‘Amos [burden] says, Yarov’am [the people will contend] shall die by the sword, and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. 12Also Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty] said unto ‘Amos [burden], O youⁱ seer, go, flee youⁱ away into the land of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], and there eat bread, and prophesy there: 13But prophesy not again any more at Beit-El [House of God]: for it [is] the king's chapel, and it [is] the king's court.

14Then answered ‘Amos [burden], and said to Amatzyah [Yehovah is mighty], I [was] no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruit: 15And the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. 16Now therefore hear youⁱ the word of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): youⁱ say, Prophesy not against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], and drop not [yourⁱ word] against the house of Yitz’khak [Laughter]. 17Therefore thus says the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); You1s wife shall be an prostitute in the city, and yourⁱ sons and yourⁱ daughters shall fall by the sword, and youⁱ land shall be divided by line; and youⁱ shall die in a polluted land: and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
