Amos 7:1
Amos 7:1 in Multiple Translations
This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king’s mowings.

Context — The Locusts, Fire, and Plumb Line
1This is what the Lord GOD showed me: He was preparing swarms of locusts just after the king’s harvest, as the late spring crop was coming up.
2And when the locusts had eaten every green plant in the land, I said, “Lord GOD, please forgive! How will Jacob survive, since he is so small?” 3So the LORD relented from this plan. “It will not happen,” He said.Cross References

Amos 7:1 Summary
Amos 7:1 is a vision from God showing Amos a swarm of locusts that would destroy the crops of Israel, which is a symbol of God's judgment (as seen in Exodus 10:4). This vision was given to Amos to warn the people of Israel to turn back to God and repent of their sins, similar to the call to repentance in 2 Chronicles 7:14. The timing of the locusts, 'just after the king's harvest', shows that God's judgment would come at a time when the people would be most vulnerable. By understanding this verse, we can see that God's judgment is not just punishment, but also a call to return to Him and seek His mercy, as described in Joel 2:12-13 and Luke 15:11-24.

Gill's Exposition on Amos 7:1
Thus hath the Lord showed unto me,.... What follows in this and the two chapters, before the prophet delivered what he heard from the Lord; now what he saw, the same thing, the ruin of the ten
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Amos 7:1
Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, it was the latter growth after the king's mowings.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Amos 7:1
AMOS CHAPTER 7 The judgment of the grasshoppers, , and of the fire, are diverted by the intercession of Amos, . By a wall and plumbline is signified the desolation of Israel, . Amaziah complaineth of Amos, and forbiddeth him to prophesy at Beth-el, . Amos showeth his calling, ,15, and the judgment upon Amaziah, ,17. Thus: sometimes this refers to what went before, here it refers to what the prophet saw and is about to declare. Hath the Lord God showed unto me: this is the first of five visions or prophetic representations of what was coming upon this people for their sins. The Lord gave Amos a clear sight of the future calamity by this vision. Behold; I could not but observe, and it is worthy your observance too. He formed: it is not said he called for them, but he formed or created them, probably intimating somewhat extraordinary in them, either in their bigness or number, or rather sudden appearing of them. So the plague signified by them should suddenly come upon them.
Grasshoppers: in our country grasshoppers are not hurtful, but these in our text were locusts, and so rendered ; and the word used by Amos here is paraphrased by the Hebrew critics by a word that properly notes locust. It was the latter growth: the shooting up of the first growth being too luxuriant, they did either mow off the tops, or eat it down with cattle, and this was done for preserving the corn and increase of the harvest; but if the second growth were cut off or eat up, it marred the whole harvest; and these devouring locusts were formed in such time as to do this, and so to bring a famine upon the land. After the king’ s mowings; it is supposed that the first mowing of the luxuriant corn in the blade was for the king’ s use, and after this the second springing grew up to the harvest. It may possibly intimate, that though the kings of Israel did as it were mow the luxuriant riches vet they grew again; but when Assyrian locusts come all is devoured.
Trapp's Commentary on Amos 7:1
Amos 7:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me; and, behold, he formed grasshoppers in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and, lo, [it was] the latter growth after the king’ s mowings.Ver. 1. Thus hath the Lord God showed unto me] sc. In a prophetic vision: this being the first of those five that follow to the end of the prophecy; all foretelling the evils that should befall this people, to whom Amos is again sent, as Ahijah was to Jeroboam’ s wife, with heavy tidings, and as Ezekiel was afterwards to his rebellious countrymen, with a roll written full of lamentations, and mourning, and woe, Ezekiel 2:10. And, behold, he formed grasshoppers] Or, locusts, forerunners of famine, Joe 1:4, or (as some will), of the Assyrians, whom the Divine justice made a scorpion to Israel, as Israel had been a scourge to Judah. When the Israelites were in their flourish, as the grass or wheat is in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth, they had been first mowed by Benhadad, King of Syria; but, growing up again under Jeroboam, their king, they were devoured by Pul and his army, as by so many greedy locusts. In the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth] For in those fat and fertile countries they use “ Luxuriem segetum tenera depascere in herba. ” Now if the latter growth were eaten up too, what else could follow but extreme famine? It was the latter growth after the king’ s mowings] Or sheep shearings, as some read it; but the former is better: and Diodati here noteth that it is thought that the kings did take the first crop, in esum et usum iumentorum, to keep their wax horses and for other services; leaving the latter mowings for other cattle, who were taught to say, After your majesty, is good manners.
Ellicott's Commentary on Amos 7:1
(1) Each of the visions is introduced with closely resembling words. For “grasshopper,” read locusts. The phrase “king’s mowings” suggests that the king claimed tyrannically the first-fruits of the hay harvest, which was ordinarily followed by the early “rain upon the mown grass.” (Comp. 1 Kings 18:5.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Amos 7:1
CHAPTER VII In this chapter God represents to Amos, by three several visions, the judgments he is about to bring on Israel. The first is a plague of locusts, threatening to cut of the hopes of the harvest by attacking it in the time of the second growth; the first luxuriances of the crop being probably mowed for the king's horses, 1-3. The next vision threatens a judgment by fire, which would consume a great part, 4-6; and the third a total overthrow of Israel, levelling it as it were by a line, 7-9. The rest of the chapter is a denunciation of heavy judgments against Amaziah, priest of Beth-el, who had brought an accusation to the king against the prophet, 10-17. NOTES ON CHAP. VII Verse 1. Behold, he formed grasshoppers] גבי gobai is generally understood here to signify locusts. See the notes on Joe 1:1-2:32. The shooting up of the latter growth] The early crop of grass had been already mowed and housed. The second crop or rowing, as it is called in some places, was not yet begun.
By the king's mowings we may understand the first crop, a portion of which the king probably claimed as being the better hay; but the words may signify simply the prime crop, that which is the best of the whole. Houbigant thinks the shearing of the king's sheep is meant.
Cambridge Bible on Amos 7:1
