οὕτως ἔδειξέν μοι κύριος καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐπιγονὴ ἀκρίδων ἐρχομένη ἑωθινή καὶ ἰδοὺ βροῦχος εἷς Γωγ ὁ βασιλεύς
Thus the Lord showed me: and behold, a brood of locusts was coming in the morning, and behold, one caterpillar, Gog the king.
The chapter opens with a visionary report formula. The imagery is agricultural and ominous from the start, and the locust growth is presented as a royal-scale threat to the land's survival.

And it shall be, when it finishes consuming the grass of the land, that I said, 'Lord, Lord, be gracious; who will raise up Jacob? For he is small.'
Amos interrupts the vision with direct plea. The argument is not Israel's innocence but Jacob's weakness: survival depends on divine mercy because the people are too diminished to recover on their own.

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 says the Lord: your wife shall become a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured out by line, and you shall die in an unclean land, and Israel shall surely be led away captive from its land.
The final oracle personalizes national judgment. Household disgrace, violent loss, confiscated land, death in uncleanness, and exile together show that resisting the word does not avert the sentence but brings it home with sharper precision.
