Amos 7:1–17 contains three visions (Amos 7:1–9) followed by a discussion between Amos and Amaziah (Amos 7:10–17). The visions are autobiographical in nature and each vision is introduced by a formula in which God shows Amos something that will take place, which is then followed by a dialogue between the Lord and Amos.1
1 Le Seigneur, l'Eternel, m'envoya cette vision. Voici, il formait des sauterelles, Au moment où le regain commençait à croître; C'était le regain après la coupe du roi.
