1 This was a vision the Lord God shewed me; here were locusts a-making, just at the time when the aftergrowth was coming up, after the king’s crop had been carried. 2 Short work had these made of all the land yielded; Ah, Lord God, said I, be merciful! How should Jacob survive, the puny creature he is? 3 And with that, the Lord relented; Happen it shall not, said he. 4 And a second vision the Lord God shewed me, how he would summon them to ordeal by fire; fire should devour the waters below the earth, and devoured some part of them were. 5 Ah, Lord God, said I, for pity! How should Jacob survive, the puny creature he is? 6 And with that, the Lord relented again; Happen it shall not, said he.

1 Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce fictor locustæ in principio germinantium serotini imbris, et ecce serotinus post tonsionem regis. 2 Et factum est, cum consummasset comedere herbam terræ, dixi: Domine Deus, propitius esto, obsecro; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est? 3 Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Non erit, dixit Dominus. 4 Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus Deus: et ecce vocabat judicium ad ignem Dominus Deus; et devoravit abyssum multam, et comedit simul partem. 5 Et dixi: Domine Deus, quiesce, obsecro; quis suscitabit Jacob, quia parvulus est? 6 Misertus est Dominus super hoc: Sed et istud non erit, dixit Dominus Deus.

7 But now the Lord shewed me a third vision; a plastered wall, and the Lord himself standing by it with a trowel[1] in his hand, 8 asking me if I could see what he had there. Why, Lord, I said, a plasterer’s trowel! Ay, he answered, and here, in full view of Israel’s folk, that trowel I lay aside; cementing they shall have from me no more. 9 Hill-shrines of Aven[2] shall tumble down, sanctuaries of Israel be laid waste; at the sword’s point I will try conclusions with the race of Jeroboam.

7 Hæc ostendit mihi Dominus: et ecce Dominus stans super murum litum, et in manu ejus trulla cæmentarii. 8 Et dixit Dominus ad me: Quid tu vides, Amos? Et dixi: Trullam cæmentarii. Et dixit Dominus:

Ecce ego ponam trullam in medio populi mei Israël;
non adjiciam ultra superinducere eum. 9
Et demolientur excelsa idoli,
et sanctificationes Israël desolabuntur,
et consurgam super domum Jeroboam in gladio.

10 Hereupon, a message came to Jeroboam, king of Israel, from Amasias that was priest at Bethel. Here is Amos, said he, raising revolt against thee in the realm of Israel; there is no room in all the land for such talk as his; 11 Jeroboam to die at the sword’s point, Israel to be banished from its native country! 12 And this was his counsel to Amos, Sir prophet, get thee gone; in Juda take refuge if thou wilt, and there earn thy living by prophecy. 13 Prophesy here in Bethel thou mayst not, where the king’s chapel is, and the king’s court.

10 Et misit Amasias, sacerdos Bethel, ad Jeroboam, regem Israël, dicens: Rebellavit contra te Amos in medio domus Israël; non poterit terra sustinere universos sermones ejus. 11 Hæc enim dicit Amos: In gladio morietur Jeroboam, et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua. 12 Et dixit Amasias ad Amos: Qui vides, gradere: fuge in terram Juda, et comede ibi panem, et prophetabis ibi. 13 Et in Bethel non adjicies ultra ut prophetes, quia sanctificatio regis est, et domus regni est.

14 What, said Amos, I a prophet? Nay, not that, nor a prophet’s son neither; I am one that minds cattle, one that nips the sycamore-trees; 15 I was but tending sheep when the Lord took me into his service. It was the Lord bade me go and prophesy to his people of Israel. 16 He has a message for thee: Thou wilt have no prophesying against Israel, no word dropped against Bethaven? 17 Here, then, is the divine doom pronounced on thee: Wife of thine, here in the city streets, shall be dishonoured; sons and daughters of thine shall die at the sword’s point; lands of thine shall feel the measuring-rope. And for thyself, on unhallowed soil death awaits thee, when Israel is banished, as banished it needs must be, from the land of its birth.

14 Responditque Amos, et dixit ad Amasiam: Non sum propheta, et non sum filius prophetæ: sed armentarius ego sum vellicans sycomoros. 15 Et tulit me Dominus cum sequerer gregem, et dixit Dominus ad me: Vade, propheta ad populum meum Israël. 16 Et nunc audi verbum Domini:

Tu dicis: Non prophetabis super Israël,
et non stillabis super domum idoli. 17
Propter hoc hæc dicit Dominus:
Uxor tua in civitate fornicabitur,
et filii tui et filiæ tuæ in gladio cadent,
et humus tua funiculo metietur:
et tu in terra polluta morieris,
et Israël captivus migrabit de terra sua.

[1] The Hebrew word rendered in the Latin by ‘trowel’ more probably means a plumb-line, which Almighty God threatens to apply against Israel; that is, he will proceed strictly against them, he will not pass over (their sins) any more (cf. 8.2, where the same words are used).

[2] The Latin version gives ‘hill-shrines of Aven (or, the Idol)’, exactly as in Os. 10.8 (cf. Am. 1.5). In verse 16 below it gives ‘Bethaven (or, House of the Idol)’, exactly as in Os. 4.15, 5.8, 10.5. Our present Hebrew text gives ‘hill-shrines of Isaac’ and ‘house of Isaac’; it is supported by the Septuagint Greek (which, however, translates the word as ‘laughter’); this, too, was St Jerome’s reading. It almost looks as if there had been some early uncertainty in the manuscripts, due perhaps to scrupulous reluctance, on a scribe’s part, to write down some name connected with heathen worship (like ‘Baal’). It may be pointed out that ‘house of Isaac’ is a phrase nowhere else used—it would necessarily include Edom—and that Isaac is never mentioned by the prophets, except in Jer. 33.26.
