Young's Literal Translation
This
is
what
the Lord GOD
showed
me :
I
saw
a basket of summer fruit.
Thus
hath
the Lord Jehovah
shewed
me ,
and,
lo,
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
saith
, `
What art
thou
seeing,
Amos
? '
and
I
say,
`
A basket of summer -
fruit. '
And
Jehovah
saith
unto
me :
`
The end hath
come unto
My people Israel ,
I do
not
add
any
more
to
pass
over
to
it
.
“
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
howled
have
songstresses
of
a
palace
in that day, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Many `are'
the carcases
, into
any
place
throw
--
hush
!
Hear this, you
who trample
the needy, who
do
away
with
the poor of the land,
Hear this, ye
who are
swallowing
up
the needy, To
cause
to
cease
the poor of the land,
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 doth
the new moon pass
, And
we sell ground
corn
? And
the sabbath, and
we open
out
pure
corn
? To
make
little
the ephah ,
And to
make
great
the shekel ,
And
to
use
perversely
balances
of
deceit
.
Let
us
buy
the poor with
silver
and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling
even
the chaff
with
the wheat!”
To
purchase
with
money
the poor ,
And the needy for a pair of sandals, Yea,
the refuse
of
the pure
corn
we
sell.
The
LORD
has
sworn by the Pride
of Jacob: “
I will
never
forget any of their deeds
.
Sworn hath
Jehovah
by the excellency
of Jacob: `
I forget not
for
ever
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.
For
this
doth
not the land tremble
, And mourned
hath
every
dweller
in
it
? And
come
up
as
a
flood
hath
all of it .
And
it hath
been
cast
out,
and hath
sunk,
Like 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
hath
come
to
pass
in that day, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, I have
caused
the sun to
go in
at noon, And caused
darkness
on
the land
in a
day
of
light,
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
have
turned
your festivals
to
mourning ,
And all your songs to lamentation,
And
caused
sackcloth to
come
up
on
all
loins,
And on
every head --
baldness,
And
made
it as
a mourning `of'
an only one
, And its latter
end
as
a day of
bitterness
.
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
.
Lo
, days are coming, An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, And
I have
sent
a famine into
the land ,
Not a famine of bread ,
nor
a thirst of
water But of hearing the words of Jehovah
.
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
have
wandered
from sea unto
sea ,
And from north even
unto
east, They
go
to
and
fro
to
seek
the word of Jehovah
, And
they do
not find.
In that day the lovely
young
women—
the young men as
well—
will
faint
from
thirst.
In that day faint
do
the fair
virgins,
And
the young men ,
with
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 .”
Those swearing
by the guilt of Samaria ,
And have
said
, Live
doth
thy
god, O Dan, And
, Live
doth
the way of Beer-Sheba
, And
they
have
fallen
--
and
rise not
again !'
