Amos Chapter 8

 

1 Thus has the Lord GOD showed [me] a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Jehovah  to me, The end has come upon my people of  Israel; I will not again pass by them anymore.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howling in that day, says the Lord GOD: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, Oh you who swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
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?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yes, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 Jehovah  has sworn by the excellence of Jacob, Surely I will endure to not forget their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwells therein? And it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the Earth in the clear day:
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  as a bitter day.
11 the days come, says 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 Jehovah:
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 Jehovah, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, your god, Oh Dan, lives; and, The manner of Beersheba lives; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
