Amos 7

Amos 7 is the seventh chapter of the Book of Amos in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. In the Hebrew Bible it is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets. This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Amos; in particular, the seventh, eighth, and ninth chapters contain visions and their explanations. This chapter contains three visions: the locusts, the fire (or drought), and the plumb-line. The visions are then "interrupted" by a narrative about Amos and his listeners in Bethel (verses 10-17), before they continue in chapter 8.
