Amos 7 is the seventh chapter of the Book of Amos in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] In the Hebrew Bible it is a part of the Book of the Twelve Minor Prophets.[3][4] This book contains the prophecies attributed to the prophet Amos; in particular, the seventh, eighth, and ninth chapters contain visions and their explanations.[5] This chapter contains three visions: the locusts, the fire (or drought), and the plumb-line.[6] The visions are then "interrupted" by a narrative about Amos and his listeners in Bethel (verses 10–17),[7] before they continue in chapter 8.
