Three visions open the chapter, two turned back by intercession, before a plumb line marks a judgment that stands.
Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Thus the Lord GOD showed me And behold, locusts were forming
When the spring vegetation had come up And behold, it was the late growth I said, O Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you How can Jacob stand, he is so small
The LORD repented concerning this It shall not be, said the LORD Thus he showed me, and behold A fire called forth by the Lord GOD
It devoured the great deep and was eating up the land Then I said, O Lord GOD, cease, I beg you How can Jacob stand, he is so small
The LORD repented concerning this It shall not be, said the LORD He showed me again, standing on a wall Made with a plumb line, with a plumb line
The LORD said to me, Amos, what do you see I said, A plumb line Then the LORD said, Behold, I will set a plumb line In the midst of my people Israel
I will no longer pass by them The high places of Isaac shall be desolate The sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste
Amaziah said to Amos, O you seer Go, flee away to the land of Judah But I am not a prophet, nor a prophet’s son I am a herdsman and a dresser of fig trees The LORD took me from following the flock
