King James Version
This
is
what
the Lord GOD showed
me: I
saw
a basket of summer fruit.
Thus
hath
the Lord GOD shewed
unto
me: and
behold
a basket of summer fruit.
“
Amos, what do
you
see
? ”
He
asked.
“
A basket of summer fruit ,”
I
replied
. So
the LORD said
to
me, “
The end has
come for
My people Israel; I will no
longer
spare
them. ”
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
.
“
In that day, ”
declares
the Lord GOD ,
“the
songs
of
the
temple
will
turn
to
wailing.
Many
will
be the
corpses,
strewn
in silence everywhere!”
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 .
Hear this, you
who
trample
the needy, who
do
away
with
the poor of the land,
Hear this, O
ye
that
swallow
up
the needy, even
to
make
the poor of the land to
fail
,
asking
, “
When will the New Moon be over
, that we may sell grain
? When
will
the Sabbath end
, that we may market
wheat ?
Let
us
reduce
the ephah and increase
the shekel ;
let
us
cheat
with
dishonest
scales.
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?
Let
us
buy the poor with
silver and the needy for a pair of sandals
, selling
even
the chaff
with
the wheat !”
That
we
may
buy the poor for
silver ,
and the needy for a pair of shoes;
yea
, and
sell
the refuse
of
the wheat ?
The LORD has
sworn by the Pride
of Jacob :
“
I will never forget any of their deeds
.
The LORD hath
sworn by the excellency
of Jacob ,
Surely
I will never forget any of their works
.
Will
not the land quake
for this, and all
its
dwellers
mourn? All
of
it will
swell
like
the
Nile
; it will
surge
and then
subside
like
the Nile
in
Egypt.
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.
And in that day, declares
the Lord GOD, I will make
the sun go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the daytime.
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:
I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation .
I will cause
everyone
to
wear
sackcloth and every head to
be
shaved.
I will make it like
a
time
of
mourning for
an only son, and its
outcome
like
a bitter day.
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.
Behold, the days are
coming
, declares
the Lord GOD, when
I will send a famine on
the land —
not a famine of bread or
a thirst for water, but a
famine
of hearing the words of the LORD .
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 :
People
will
stagger
from sea to sea and roam
from north to east, seeking
the word of the LORD, but
they
will
not find it.
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.
In that day the
lovely
young
women—
the young men as
well—
will
faint from
thirst.
In that day shall
the fair
virgins
and
young men faint for
thirst.
Those
who
swear by the guilt
of Samaria and say, ‘As
surely
as
your
god lives
, O Dan, ’
or
, ‘As
surely
as
the way
of Beersheba lives’—
they will
fall, never to
rise again. ”
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.
