Amos 7:8 in Context — Amos 7

6 L’Éternel se repentit de cela. Cela non plus n’arrivera pas, dit le Seigneur, l’Éternel.

7 Il m’envoya cette vision. Voici, le Seigneur se tenait sur un mur tiré au cordeau, Et il avait un niveau dans la main.

8 L’Éternel me dit: Que vois-tu, Amos? Je répondis: Un niveau. Et le Seigneur dit: Je mettrai le niveau au milieu de mon peuple d’Israël, Je ne lui pardonnerai plus;

9 Les hauts lieux d’Isaac seront ravagés; Les sanctuaires d’Israël seront détruits, Et je me lèverai contre la maison de Jéroboam avec l’épée.

10 Alors Amatsia, prêtre de Béthel, fit dire à Jéroboam, roi d’Israël: Amos conspire contre toi au milieu de la maison d’Israël; le pays ne peut supporter toutes ses paroles.
