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.
