And it cameh1961 about,  1whenh518 it had  afinishedh3615 eatingh398 the vegetationh6212a of the landh776, that I saidh559, " bLordh136 GODh3068, pleaseh4994 pardonh5545!  2Howh4310 can Jacobh3290 standh6965, For he is  csmallh6996b?"

The LORDh3068  1 achangedh5162 His mindh5162 abouth5921 thish2088. "It shall not be," saidh559 the LORDh3068.

Thush3541 the Lordh136 GODh3068 showedh7200 me, and beholdh2009, the Lordh136 GODh3068 was callingh7121 to contendh7378 with them by  afireh784, and it consumedh398 the greath7227a deeph8415 and began to consumeh398 the  1farmh2506 landh2506.

Then I saidh559, " aLordh136 GODh3068, pleaseh4994 stoph2308!  bHowh4310 can Jacobh3290 standh6965, for he is smallh6996b?"

10

Then Amaziahh558, the  apriesth3548 of Bethelh1008, senth7971 word to  bJeroboamh3379 kingh4428 of Israelh3478, sayingh559, "Amosh5986 has  cconspiredh7194 againsth5921 you in the midsth7130 of the househ1004 of Israelh3478; the landh776 is unableh3808h3201 to endureh3557 allh3605 his wordsh1697.

11

"For thush3541 Amosh5986 saysh559, `Jeroboamh3379 will dieh4191 by the swordh2719 and Israelh3478 will certainlyh1540 goh1540 from its landh127 into exileh1540.' "

12

Then Amaziahh558 saidh559 to Amosh5986, " aGoh1980, you seerh2374, fleeh1272 away to the landh776 of Judahh3063 and thereh8033 eath398 breadh3899 and thereh8033 do your prophesyingh5012!

13

"But  anoh3808 longerh3254h5750 prophesyh5012 at Bethelh1008, for it is a  bsanctuaryh4720 of the kingh4428 and a royalh4467  1residenceh1004."

14

Then Amosh5986 repliedh6030a to Amaziahh558, "I am not a propheth5030, norh3808 am I the  asonh1121 of a propheth5030; for I am a herdsmanh951 and a  1growerh1103 of sycamoreh8256 figsh1103.

15

"But the LORDh3068 tookh3947 me from  1followingh310 the flockh6629 and the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, `Goh1980  aprophesyh5012 to My peopleh5971a Israelh3478.'

16

"Nowh6258 hearh8085 the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068: you are sayingh559, `You  ashall not prophesyh5012 againsth5921 Israelh3478  bnorh3808 shall you  1speakh5197 againsth5921 the househ1004 of Isaach3327.'

17

"Thereforeh3651, thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, `Your  awifeh802 will becomeh2181 a harloth2181 in the cityh5892b, your  bsonsh1121 and your daughtersh1323 will fallh5307 by the swordh2719, your landh127 will be parceledh2505a up by a measuring lineh2256a and you yourselfh859 will dieh4191  1upon  cuncleanh2931 soilh127. Moreover, Israelh3478 will certainlyh1540 goh1540 from its landh127 into exileh1540.' "
