1 Οὕτως ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπιγονὴ ἀκρίδων ἐρχομένη ἑωθινή, καὶ ἰδοὺ βροῦχος εἷς Γωγ ὁ βασιλεύς. Thus has the Lord God shewed me; and behold a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and behold one caterpillar A vision of locusts. Am.7.1-3 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, he was forming locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְהִנֵּה יֹוצֵר גֹּבַי
בִּתְחִלַּת עֲלֹות הַלָּקֶשׁ
וְהִנֵּה־לֶקֶשׁ אַחַר גִּזֵּי הַמֶּלֶךְ׃
1
2 καὶ ἔσται ἐὰν συντελέσῃ τοῦ καταφαγεῖν τὸν χόρτον τῆς γῆς, καὶ εἶπα Κύριε κύριε, ἵλεως γενοῦ· τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν Ιακωβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστιν· And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land that I said Lord God be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.   When they had finished eating the grass of the land, I said,
"O Lord GOD, forgive, I beseech thee!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!"
וְהָיָה אִם־כִּלָּה לֶאֱכֹול
אֶת־עֵשֶׂב הָאָרֶץ וָאֹמַר
אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה סְלַח־נָא מִי יָקוּם יַעֲקֹב כִּי קָטֹן הוּא׃
2
3 μετανόησον, κύριε, ἐπὶ τούτῳ. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐκ ἔσται, λέγει κύριος. Repent O Lord for this. And this shall not be saith the Lord.   The LORD repented concerning this;
"It shall not be," said the LORD.
נִחַם יְהוָה עַל־זֹאת לֹא תִהְיֶה אָמַר יְהוָה׃ 3
4 Οὕτως ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐκάλεσεν τὴν δίκην ἐν πυρὶ κύριος, καὶ κατέφαγε τὴν ἄβυσσον τὴν πολλὴν καὶ κατέφαγεν τὴν μερίδα. Thus has the Lord shewed me; and behold the Lord called for judgment by fire and it devoured the great deep and devoured the Lord's portion. A vision of Fire. Am.7.4-6 Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, the Lord GOD was calling for a judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep and was eating up the land.כֹּה הִרְאַנִי אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה וְהִנֵּה קֹרֵא לָרִב בָּאֵשׁ אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה
וַתֹּאכַל אֶת־תְּהֹום רַבָּה וְאָכְלָה אֶת־הַחֵלֶק׃
4
5 καὶ εἶπα Κύριε κύριε, κόπασον δή· τίς ἀναστήσει τὸν Ιακωβ; ὅτι ὀλιγοστός ἐστιν· Then I said O Lord cease I pray thee: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent O Lord   Then I said,
"O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee!
How can Jacob stand?
He is so small!"
וָאֹמַר
אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה חֲדַל־נָא מִי יָקוּם יַעֲקֹב כִּי קָטֹן הוּא׃
5
6 μετανόησον, κύριε, ἐπὶ τούτῳ. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐ μὴ γένηται, λέγει κύριος. This also shall not be saith the Lord.   The LORD repented concerning this;
"This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.
נִחַם יְהוָה עַל־זֹאת גַּם־הִיא לֹא תִהְיֶה אָמַר אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ ס 6
7 Οὕτως ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀνὴρ ἑστηκὼς ἐπὶ τείχους ἀδαμαντίνου, καὶ ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἀδάμας. Thus the Lord shewed me; and behold he stood upon a wall of adamant and in his hand [was] an adamant. A vision of a plumb-line. Am.7.7-17 He showed me: behold, the Lord was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.כֹּה הִרְאַנִי וְהִנֵּה אֲדֹנָי נִצָּב עַל־חֹומַת אֲנָךְ
וּבְיָדֹו אֲנָךְ׃
7
8 καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με Τί σὺ ὁρᾷς, Αμως; καὶ εἶπα Ἀδάμαντα. καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με Ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἐντάσσω ἀδάμαντα ἐν μέσῳ λαοῦ μου Ισραηλ, οὐκέτι μὴ προσθῶ τοῦ παρελθεῖν αὐτόν· And the Lord said to me What seest thou Amos? And I said An adamant. And the Lord said to me Behold   And the LORD said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said,
"Behold, I am setting a plumb line
in the midst of my people Israel;
I will never again pass by them;
וַיֹּאמֶר יְהוָה אֵלַי מָה־אַתָּה רֹאֶה עָמֹוס
וָאֹמַר אֲנָךְ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲדֹנָי הִנְנִי שָׂם אֲנָךְ
בְּקֶרֶב עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא־אֹוסִיף עֹוד עֲבֹור לֹו׃

9 καὶ ἀφανισθήσονται βωμοὶ τοῦ γέλωτος, καὶ αἱ τελεταὶ τοῦ Ισραηλ ἐξερημωθήσονται, καὶ ἀναστήσομαι ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ιεροβοαμ ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ. And the joyful altars shall be abolished and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.   the high places of Isaac shall be made desolate,
and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste,
and I will rise against the house of Jerobo'am with the sword."
וְנָשַׁמּוּ בָּמֹות יִשְׂחָק
וּמִקְדְּשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל יֶחֱרָבוּ וְקַמְתִּי עַל־בֵּית יָרָבְעָם בֶּחָרֶב׃ ף
9
10 Καὶ ἐξαπέστειλεν Αμασιας ὁ ἱερεὺς Βαιθηλ πρὸς Ιεροβοαμ βασιλέα Ισραηλ λέγων Συστροφὰς ποιεῖται κατὰ σοῦ Αμως ἐν μέσῳ οἴκου Ισραηλ· οὐ μὴ δύνηται ἡ γῆ ὑπενεγκεῖν ἅπαντας τοὺς λόγους αὐτοῦ· Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel saying Amos is forming conspiracies against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.   Then Amazi'ah the priest of Bethel sent to Jerobo'am king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.וַיִּשְׁלַח אֲמַצְיָה כֹּהֵן בֵּית־אֵל אֶל־יָרָבְעָם מֶלֶךְ־יִשְׂרָאֵל
לֵאמֹר קָשַׁר עָלֶיךָ עָמֹוס בְּקֶרֶב בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל
לֹא־תוּכַל הָאָרֶץ לְהָכִיל אֶת־כָּל־דְּבָרָיו׃
10
11 διότι τάδε λέγει Αμως Ἑν ῥομφαίᾳ τελευτήσει Ιεροβοαμ, ὁ δὲ Ισραηλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ. For thus says Amos Jeroboam shall die by the sword and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.   For thus Amos has said,
'Jerobo'am shall die by the sword,
and Israel must go into exile away from his land.'"
כִּי־כֹה אָמַר עָמֹוס
בַּחֶרֶב יָמוּת יָרָבְעָם וְיִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלֹה יִגְלֶה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֹו׃ ס
11
12 καὶ εἶπεν Αμασιας πρὸς Αμως Ὁ ὁρῶν, βάδιζε ἐκχώρησον εἰς γῆν Ιουδα καὶ ἐκεῖ καταβίου καὶ ἐκεῖ προφητεύσεις· And Amasias said to Amos Go seer remove thou into the land of Juda and live there   And Amazi'ah said to Amos, "O seer, go, flee away to the land of Judah, and eat bread there, and prophesy there;וַיֹּאמֶר אֲמַצְיָה אֶל־עָמֹוס חֹזֶה לֵךְ בְּרַח־לְךָ אֶל־אֶרֶץ יְהוּדָה
וֶאֱכָל־שָׁם לֶחֶם וְשָׁם תִּנָּבֵא׃
12
13 εἰς δὲ Βαιθηλ οὐκέτι μὴ προσθῇς τοῦ προφητεῦσαι, ὅτι ἁγίασμα βασιλέως ἐστὶν καὶ οἶκος βασιλείας ἐστίν. but thou shalt no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary and it is the royal house.   but never again prophesy at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a temple of the kingdom."וּבֵית־אֵל לֹא־תֹוסִיף עֹוד לְהִנָּבֵא
כִּי מִקְדַּשׁ־מֶלֶךְ הוּא וּבֵית מַמְלָכָה הוּא׃ ס
13
14 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη Αμως καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς Αμασιαν Οὐκ ἤμην προφήτης ἐγὼ οὐδὲ υἱὸς προφήτου, ἀλλ' ἢ αἰπόλος ἤμην καὶ κνίζων συκάμινα· And Amos answered and said to Amasias I was not a prophet nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.   Then Amos answered Amazi'ah, "I am no prophet, nor a prophet's son; but I am a herdsman, and a dresser of sycamore trees,וַיַּעַן עָמֹוס וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־אֲמַצְיָה
לֹא־נָבִיא אָנֹכִי וְלֹא בֶן־נָבִיא אָנֹכִי כִּי־בֹוקֵר אָנֹכִי וּבֹולֵס שִׁקְמִים׃
14
15 καὶ ἀνέλαβέν με κύριος ἐκ τῶν προβάτων, καὶ εἶπεν κύριος πρός με Βάδιζε προφήτευσον ἐπὶ τὸν λαόν μου Ισραηλ. And the Lord took me from the sheep and the Lord said to me Go and prophesy to my people Israel.   and the LORD took me from following the flock, and the LORD said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'וַיִּקָּחֵנִי יְהוָה מֵאַחֲרֵי הַצֹּאן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלַי יְהוָה
לֵךְ הִנָּבֵא אֶל־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל׃
15
16 καὶ νῦν ἄκουε λόγον κυρίου Σὺ λέγεις Μὴ προφήτευε ἐπὶ τὸν Ισραηλ καὶ οὐ μὴ ὀχλαγωγήσῃς ἐπὶ τὸν οἶκον Ιακωβ· And now hear the word of the Lord: Thou sayest Prophesy not to Israel and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.   "Now therefore hear the word of the LORD.
You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel,
and do not preach against the house of Isaac.'
וְעַתָּה שְׁמַע דְּבַר־יְהוָה
אַתָּה אֹמֵר לֹא תִנָּבֵא עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְלֹא תַטִּיף עַל־בֵּית יִשְׂחָק׃
16
17 διὰ τοῦτο τάδε λέγει κύριος Ἡ γυνή σου ἐν τῇ πόλει πορνεύσει, καὶ οἱ υἱοί σου καὶ αἱ θυγατέρες σου ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ πεσοῦνται, καὶ ἡ γῆ σου ἐν σχοινίῳ καταμετρηθήσεται, καὶ σὺ ἐν γῇ ἀκαθάρτῳ τελευτήσεις, ὁ δὲ Ισραηλ αἰχμάλωτος ἀχθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ. Therefore thus saith the Lord; Thy wife shall be a harlot in the city and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword and thy land shall be measured with the line; and thou shalt die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his la   Therefore thus says the LORD:
'Your wife shall be a harlot in the city,
and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword,
and your land shall be parceled out by line;
you yourself shall die in an unclean land,
and Israel shall surely go into exile away from its land.'"
לָכֵן כֹּה־אָמַר יְהוָה אִשְׁתְּךָ בָּעִיר תִּזְנֶה
וּבָנֶיךָ וּבְנֹתֶיךָ בַּחֶרֶב יִפֹּלוּ וְאַדְמָתְךָ בַּחֶבֶל תְּחֻלָּק
וְאַתָּה עַל־אֲדָמָה טְמֵאָה תָּמוּת וְיִשְׂרָאֵל גָּלֹה יִגְלֶה מֵעַל אַדְמָתֹו׃ ס

Notes: Format: For the canonical books the parallel passages on this page are seven columns width, reducing to four columns for the Apocrypha - Deuterocanonical books.
Printing: For the most readable option, set your printer to a Landscape setting before printing the page.
The Old Testament in Greek is Rahlf's LXX available in Word format at the Tyndale website, adapted to database format.
The alternative readings of the LXX - Judges (Alexandrinus), Daniel, Susanna & Bel (LXX received text), and Tobit (Sinaiticus [not printed in Swete]) as separate book references so that they can be viewed as an alternative text in parallel with the primary text.
(I have reversed the Swete presentation for Daniel, Susanna, Bel by listing in the later Theodotion LXX text as the main text. )
The LXX cross references to the Hebrew Bible have been extensively revised using those set out in Swete's 'Old Testament in Greek' publications between 1894 and 1909, amended in part to agree with verses as printed in the Biblia Hebraica (1937 publication).
Some verse cross references in Swete's had to be amended to agree with the BHS verse numbering, and there may well be some mismatches that I haven't yet picked up on. (If you find any errors please e-mail me.)
Hebrew Bible has been adapted from the BHS in Word format at Tyndale.
The Septuagint in English ( translated by Sir Lancelot CL Brenton) - is used here only for the books of the Hebrew Bible.
The Revised Standard Version: This generally follows the Hebrew Bible for the canonical OT,
but use this as the English Text for the remainder of the LXX (Apocrypha - Deuterocanonical books).
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages.
Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976.
