Book 30 Amos Chapter 008

 

008:001Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of
summer fruit.

 

008:002And 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.

 

008:003And 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.

 

008:004Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the
poor of the land to fail,

 

008:005Saying, 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?

 

008:006That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair
of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

 

008:007The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will
never forget any of their works.

 

008:008Shall 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.

 

008:009And 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:

 

008:010And 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.

 

008:011Behold, 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:

 

008:012And 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.

 

008:013In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for
thirst.

 

008:014They 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.
