|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 8
|
||||
1.
|
||||
The Lord God showed me this: a basket of summer fruit.
|
||||
2. He asked me, "What do you see, Amos?"
|
||||
I replied, "A basket of summer fruit."
|
||||
The Lord said to me, "The end has come for my people Israel; I will no longer spare them.
|
||||
3. In that day the temple songs will become wailing"--this is the Lord God's declaration. "Many dead bodies, thrown everywhere! Silence!"
|
||||
|
||||
4. Hear this, you who trample on the needy
|
||||
1 The Lord God showed me this: a basket of summer fruit.
|
||||
2 He asked me, “What do you see, Amos?”
|
||||
I replied, “A basket of summer fruit.”
|

The Lord said to me, “The end has come for my people Israel; I will no longer spare them.
|
||||
3 In that day the temple songs will become wailing”—this is the Lord God’s declaration. “Many dead bodies, thrown everywhere! Silence!”
|
||||
4 Hear this, you who trample on the needy
|
||||
and do away with the poor of the land,
|
||||
|
||||
5. asking, "When will the New Moon be over
|
||||
5 asking, “When will the New Moon be over
|
||||
so we may sell grain,
|
||||
and the Sabbath,
|
||||
so we may market wheat?
|
||||
We can reduce the measure
|
||||
while increasing the price
|
||||
and cheat with dishonest scales.
|
||||
|
||||
6. We can buy the poor with silver
|
||||
6 We can buy the poor with silver
|
||||
and the needy for a pair of sandals
|
||||
and even sell the chaff!"
|
||||
|
||||
7.
|
||||
The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob:
|
||||
and even sell the chaff!”
|
||||
7 The Lord has sworn by the Pride of Jacob:
|
||||
I will never forget all their deeds.
|
||||
|
||||
8. Because of this, won't the land quake
|
||||
8 Because of this, won’t the land quake
|
||||
and all who dwell in it mourn?
|
||||
All of it will rise like the Nile;
|
||||
it will surge and then subside
|
||||
like the Nile in Egypt.
|
||||
|
||||
9. And in that day--
|
||||
this is the declaration of the Lord God--
|
||||
9 And in that day—
|
||||
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
|
||||
I will make the sun go down at noon;
|
||||
I will darken the land in the daytime.
|
||||
|
||||
10. I will turn your feasts into mourning
|
||||
10 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 that grief
|
||||
like mourning for an only son
|
||||
and its outcome like a bitter day.
|
||||
|
||||
11. Look, the days are coming--
|
||||
this is the declaration of the Lord God--
|
||||
11 Look, the days are coming—
|
||||
this is the declaration of the Lord God—
|
||||
when I will send a famine through the land:
|
||||
not a famine of bread or a thirst for water,
|
||||
but of hearing the words of the Lord.
|
||||
|
||||
12. People will stagger from sea to sea
|
||||
12 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.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
13. In that day the beautiful young women,
|
||||
13 In that day the beautiful young women,
|
||||
the young men also, will faint from thirst.
|
||||
|
||||
14. Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria
|
||||
and say, "As your god lives, Dan,"
|
||||
or, "As the way of Beer-sheba lives"--
|
||||
they will fall, never to rise again.
