1 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, see, 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 you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 3 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 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 you: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small. 6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, said the Lord GOD. 7 Thus he showed me: and, behold, the LORD stood on a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. 8 And the LORD said to me, Amos, what see you? And I said, A plumb line. Then said the LORD, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: Amos 7:1-8, American King James Version.
