《圣经》（新旧约全书）

左咡

我就说，主耶和华阿，求你止息。因为雅各微弱。他怎能站立得住呢。Then said I, O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech thee: by whom shall Jacob arise? for he is small.

左咡

耶和华就后悔说，这灾也可免了。The LORD repented for this: This also shall not be, saith the Lord GOD.

左咡

他又指示我一件事。有一道墙是按准绳建筑的，主手拿准绳站在其上。Thus he shewed me: and, behold, the LORD stood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumbline in his hand.

左咡

耶和华对我说，阿摩司阿，你看见什么。我说，看见准绳。主说，我要吊起准绳在我民以色列中。我必不再宽恕他们。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:

左咡

因为阿摩司如此说，耶罗波安必被刀杀，以色列民定被掳去离开本地。For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land.

左咡

亚玛谢又对阿摩司说，你这先见哪，要逃往犹大地去，在那里糊口，在那里说预言。Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:

左咡

却不要在伯特利再说预言，因为这里有王的圣所，有王的宫殿。But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

左咡

阿摩司对亚玛谢说，我原不是先知，也不是先知的门徒（原文作儿子）。我是牧人，又是修理桑树的。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:
