Thus hath the Lord Jehovah
shewed me ,
and ,
lo,
a basket of summer -
fruit.
Thus hath the Lord GOD
shewed unto
me :
and behold
a basket of summer fruit.
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
.
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.
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!
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, ye who
are
swallowing
up the needy, To
cause
to cease
the poor of the land,
Hear this, O
ye that
swallow
up the needy, even
to make
the poor of the land to
fail
,
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 .
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 ?
To
purchase
with
money
the poor, And the needy for a pair of sandals,
Yea, the refuse of the pure
corn
we
sell.
That
we
may
buy
the poor for
silver
, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
yea, and
sell
the refuse of the wheat?
Sworn
hath Jehovah
by the excellency of Jacob :
`
I forget not
for
ever
any of their works.
The
LORD
hath sworn
by the excellency of Jacob ,
Surely
I will
never
forget any of their works.
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.
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 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,
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 :
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
.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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 faint
do
the fair virgins ,
And the
young men ,
with
thirst.
In that day shall
the fair virgins and young men faint
for
thirst.
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 !'
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 .
