Amos 7 · Grade 3

A Plumb Line

Name Date

Read the Story

God showed Amos locusts eating the land. Amos prayed, Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! Yahweh relented concerning this. Then God showed fire, and Amos prayed again. God listened again.

Then Amos saw the Lord with a plumb line in his hand. A plumb line is a string with a weight. It shows if a wall is straight. God would measure His people.

A priest named Amaziah told Amos to go away. But Amos said he was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs. God took him from following the flock and said, Go, prophesy to my people Israel.

Memory Verse

Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

Amos 7 · Grade 4

How Could Jacob Stand?

Name Date

Read and Think

Amos 7 records visions. First, God formed locusts to eat the crops. Amos cried, Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small. Yahweh relented concerning this. Next came judgment by fire, and Amos prayed again. Again God relented. Amos shows the power of praying for others.

The third vision was different: the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. A plumb line hangs straight down. Builders use it to see if a wall leans. God would hold Israel up to His straight standard, and He said, I will not again pass by them any more.

Amaziah the priest of Bethel accused Amos of conspiring against the king. He told Amos to flee to Judah and don't prophesy again any more at Bethel. Amos answered, I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs. God had called him, so he would not stop.

Amos 7 · Grade 5

I Was a Herdsman

Name Date

Read and Think

Amos 7 shows the prophet as an intercessor, someone who prays for others. Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, he formed locusts. When they finished eating the grass of the land, Amos cried: Lord Yahweh, forgive, I beg you! How could Jacob stand? For he is small. Yahweh relented concerning this. A second vision of judgment by fire followed, and again Amos pleaded: Lord Yahweh, stop, I beg you! Again God relented. Prayer matters to God.

The third vision changes everything: behold, the Lord stood beside a wall made by a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand. God asked, Amos, what do you see? A plumb line measures whether a wall is true. God would set His standard among His people. They had leaned so far that the wall must come down. I will not again pass by them any more.

Then comes conflict. Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to King Jeroboam, saying Amos had conspired against him. Amaziah told Amos: You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah. Bethel was the king's sanctuary. Amos replied: I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son, but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs; and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, Go, prophesy to my people Israel. Amos's authority came from God's call, not a title or family line.

Think About It

  1. Twice God relented after Amos prayed. What does this teach about the power of prayer?

  2. God measured Israel with a plumb line. What is God's straight standard for your life, and how do you measure up through His grace?

Memory Verse

Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the middle of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
