THUS has Adonai Yahuah 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.
And it came to pass, that when they had made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, O Adonai Yahuah, forgive, I beseech you: by whom shall Ya`aqov arise? for he is small.
Yahuah repented for this: It shall not be, says Yahuah.
Thus has Adonai Yahuah showed unto me: and, behold, Adonai Yahuah called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
Then said I, O Adonai Yahuah, cease, I beseech you: by whom shall Ya`aqov arise? for he is small.
Yahuah repented for this: This also shall not be, says Adonai Yahuah.
Thus he showed me: and, behold, Adonai stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
And Adonai said unto me, Amoc, what do you see? And I said, A plumbline. Then said Adonai, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Yashar'el: I will not again pass by them anymore:
And the high places of Yitschaq shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Yashar'el shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Yarov'am with the sword.
Then Amatsyahu the priest of Beyt-El sent to Yarov'am king of Yashar'el, saying, Amoc has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Yashar'el: the land is not able to bear all his words.
For thus Amoc says, Yarov'am shall die by the sword, and Yashar'el shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
Also Amatsyahu said unto Amoc, O you seer, go, flee away into the land of Yahudah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
But prophesy not again anymore at Beyt-El: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
Then answered Amoc, and said to Amatsyahu, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:
And Yahuah took me as I followed the flock, and Yahuah said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Yashar'el.
Now therefore hear you the Word of Yahuah: You say, Prophesy not against Yashar'el, and drop not your Word against the house of Yitschaq.
Therefore thus says Yahuah; Your woman shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you shall die in a polluted land: and Yashar'el shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
