AM-8:1 Thus hath the Lord GOD showed unto me: and behold a
basket of summer fruit.
AM-8:2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket
of summer fruit. Then said the LORD unto me, The end is come
upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
AM-8:3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day,
saith the Lord GOD: [there shall be] many dead bodies in every
place; they shall cast [them] forth with silence.
AM-8:4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make
the poor of the land to fail,
AM-8:5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell
corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the
ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances
by deceit?
AM-8:6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a
pair of shoes; [yea], and sell the refuse of the wheat?
AM-8:7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I
will never forget any of their works.
AM-8:8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn
that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood;
and it shall be cast out and drowned, as [by] the flood of Egypt.
AM-8:9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD,
that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken
the earth in the clear day:
AM-8:10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your
songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all
loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the
mourning of an only [son], and the end thereof as a bitter day.
AM-8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst
for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
AM-8:12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the
north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the
word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].
AM-8:13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint
for thirst.
AM-8:14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god,
O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they
shall fall, and never rise up again.
