amos The words of {Amos}, who was among the herdmen of

Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king
of

Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of
Israel,

two years before the earthquake.

amos And the LORD said unto me, {Amos}, what seest
thou?

And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Lord, Behold, I will set a

plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again
pass by

them any more:

amos Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to
Jeroboam

king of Israel, saying, {Amos} hath conspired against thee in the

midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all
his

words.

amos For thus {Amos} saith, Jeroboam shall die by the

sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their
own

land.

amos Also Amaziah said unto {Amos}, O thou seer, go,
flee

thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and
prophesy

there:

amos Then answered {Amos}, and said to Amaziah, I
[was]

no prophet, neither [was] I a prophet's son; but I [was] an
herdman,

and a gatherer of sycamore fruit:

amos And he said, {Amos}, what seest thou? And I said,
A

basket of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is
come

upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.

amos Which was the son] of Mattathias, which was the
son]

of {Amos}, which was the son] of Naum, which was the son] of
Esli,

which was the son] of Nagge,
