1This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king's harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.
2And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, "Lord GOD, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?"
“And so it was when they had finished eating the grass of the land that I said, oh Lord God forgive. I pray Oh that Jacob may stand for he is small.”
“and came to pass. And 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?”
“And it came to pass that when they had made an end of eating the grass and the land, then I said, oh Lord God, forgive I beseech thee. By whom shall Jacob arise, for he is small?”
3So the LORD relented from this plan. "It will not happen," He said.
“The Lord repented for this. It shall not be, saith the Lord.”
“the Lord relented concerning this it shall not be says the Lord.”
“the Lord repented for this. It shall not be saved, the Lord.”
4This is what the Lord GOD showed me: The Lord GOD was calling for judgment by fire. It consumed the great deep and devoured the land.
“Thus the Lord God showed me behold the Lord God called for conflict by fire. And it consumed a great deep and devoured the territory.”
5Then I said, "Lord GOD, please stop! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?"
“Then I said, oh Lord God cease. I pray. Oh that Jacob may stand for he is small.”
6So the LORD relented from this plan. "It will not happen either," said the Lord GOD.
“the Lord relented concerning this this also shall not be said the Lord God.”
“the Lord repented for this. This also shall not be, saith the Lord.”
7This is what He showed me: Behold, the Lord was standing by a wall true to plumb, with a plumb line in His hand.
“Thus he showed me behold the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line. With a plumb line in his hand”
“he showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with a plumb line in his hand.”
8"Amos, what do you see?" asked the LORD. "A plumb line," I replied. "Behold," said the Lord, "I am setting a plumb line among My people Israel; I will no longer spare them:
“And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumb line. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my people, Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.”
“the Lord said to me, What do you see, Amos? He said, A plumb line. Then the Lord said, Behold, I'm about to put a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.”
9The high places of Isaac will be deserted, and the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with My sword."
“The high places of Isaac shall be desolate and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
“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.”
