Amos, chapter 7, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 7 Vulgate

   1 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce, ipse formabat lo custas in principio, cum germinarent serotinae fruges; et ecce fruges serotinae post fruges demessas regis.
   2 Et factum est, cum consummasset comedere herbam terrae, dixi: "Domine Deus, propitius esto, obsecro; quomodo stabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?".
   3 Misertus est Dominus super hoc. "Non erit", dixit Dominus Deus.
   4 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce, vocabat ad iudicium per ignem Dominus Deus, et devoravit abyssum magnam et comedit simul partem.
   5 Et dixi: "Domine Deus, quiesce, obsecro; quomodo stabit Iacob, quia parvulus est?".
   6 Misertus est Dominus super hoc. "Sed et istud non erit", dicit Dominus Deus.
   7 Haec ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: ecce vir stans super murum litum, et in manu eius trulla caementarii.
   8 Et dixit Dominus ad me: "Quid tu vides, Amos?". Et dixi: "Trullam caementarii". Et dixit Dominus: "Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israel; non adiciam ultra ignoscere ei.
   9 Et demolientur excelsa Isaac, et sanctuaria Israel desolabuntur, et consurgam super domum Ieroboam in gladio".
   10 Et misit Amasias sacerdos Bethel ad Ieroboam regem Israel dicens: "Conspiravit contra te Amos in medio domus Israel; non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones eius.
   11 Haec enim dicit Amos: "In gladio morietur Ieroboam, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua" ".
   12 Et dixit Amasias ad Amos: "Qui vides, gradere. Fuge in terram Iudae et comede ibi panem et prophetabis ibi;
   13 et in Bethel non adicies ultra ut prophetes, quia sanctuarium regis est, et domus regni est".
   14 Responditque Amos et dixit ad Amasiam: "Non sum propheta et non sum filius prophetae; sed armentarius ego sum, vellicans sycomoros.
   15 Et tulit me Dominus, cum sequerer gregem, et dixit Dominus ad me: "Vade, propheta ad populum meum Israel".
   16 Et nunc audi verbum Domini. Tu dicis: "Non prophetabis super Israel et non stillabis verba super domum Isaac".
   17 Propter hoc haec dicit Dominus: "Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur, et filii tui et filiae tuae in gladio cadent, et humus tua funiculo metietur; et tu in terra polluta morieris, et Israel captivus migrabit de terra sua" ".

King James Version

   1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed 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.
   2 And it came to pass, that 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.
   3 The LORD repented for this: It shall not be, saith the LORD.
   4 ¶ Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and did eat up a part.
   5 Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.
   6 The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.
   7 ¶ Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the Lord stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.
   8 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:
   9 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.
   10 ¶ Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el 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.
   11 For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.
   12 Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
   13 But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.
   14 ¶ 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 sycomore fruit:
   15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
   16 ¶ Now therefore hear thou the word of the LORD: Thou sayest, Prophesy not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the house of Isaac.
   17 Therefore thus saith the LORD; Thy wife shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
