1 H136 Thus hath the Lord H3069 GOD H7200 shewed [H8689] H3619 unto me: and behold a basket H7019 of summer fruit. 2 H559 And he said [H8799] H5986 , Amos H7200 , what seest [H8802] H559 thou? And I said [H8799] H3619 , A basket H7019 of summer fruit H559 . Then said [H8799] H3068 the LORD H7093 unto me, The end H935 is come [H8804] H5971 upon my people H3478 of Israel H3254 ; I will not again [H8686] H5674 pass [H8800] by them any more. 3 H7892 And the songs H1964 of the temple H3213 shall be howlings [H8689] H3117 in that day H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H7227 : there shall be many H6297 dead bodies H4725 in every place H7993 ; they shall cast them forth [H8689] H2013 with silence [H8761] . 4 H8085 Hear [H8798] H7602 this, O ye that swallow up [H8802] H34 the needy H7673 , even to make H6041 the poor [H8675] H6035 H776 of the land H7673 to fail [H8687] , 5 H559 Saying [H8800] H2320 , When will the new moon H5674 be gone [H8799] H7666 , that we may sell [H8686] H7668 corn H7676 ? and the sabbath H6605 , that we may set forth [H8799] H1250 wheat H374 , making the ephah H6994 small [H8687] H8255 , and the shekel H1431 great [H8687] H5791 , and falsifying [H8763] H3976 the balances H4820 by deceit? 6 H7069 That we may buy [H8800] H1800 the poor H3701 for silver H34 , and the needy H5275 for a pair of shoes H7666 ; yea, and sell [H8686] H4651 the refuse H1250 of the wheat? 7 H3068 The LORD H7650 hath sworn [H8738] H1347 by the excellency H3290 of Jacob H5331 , Surely I will never H7911 forget [H8799] H4639 any of their works. 8 H776 Shall not the land H7264 tremble [H8799] H56 for this, and every one mourn [H8804] H3427 that dwelleth [H8802] H5927 therein? and it shall rise up [H8804] H2975 wholly as a flood H1644 ; and it shall be cast out [H8738] H8257 and drowned [H8738] [H8675] H8248 [H8738] H216 , as by the flood H4714 of Egypt. 9 H3117 And it shall come to pass in that day H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H8121 , that I will cause the sun H935 to go down [H8689] H6672 at noon H2821 , and I will darken [H8689] H776 the earth H216 in the clear H3117 day: 10 H2015 And I will turn [H8804] H2282 your feasts H60 into mourning H7892 , and all your songs H7015 into lamentation H5927 ; and I will bring up [H8689] H8242 sackcloth H4975 upon all loins H7144 , and baldness H7218 upon every head H7760 ; and I will make [H8804] H60 it as the mourning H3173 of an only H319 son, and the end H4751 thereof as a bitter H3117 day. 11 H3117 Behold, the days H935 come [H8802] H5002 , saith [H8803] H136 the Lord H3069 GOD H7971 , that I will send [H8689] H7458 a famine H776 in the land H7458 , not a famine H3899 of bread H6772 , nor a thirst H4325 for water H8085 , but of hearing [H8800] H1697 the words H3068 of the LORD: 12 H5128 And they shall wander [H8804] H3220 from sea H3220 to sea H6828 , and from the north H4217 even to the east H7751 , they shall run to and fro [H8787] H1245 to seek [H8763] H1697 the word H3068 of the LORD H4672 , and shall not find [H8799] it . 13 H3117 In that day H3303 shall the fair H1330 virgins H970 and young men H5968 faint [H8691] H6772 for thirst. 14 H7650 They that swear [H8737] H819 by the sin H8111 of Samaria H559 , and say [H8804] H430 , Thy god H1835 , O Dan H2416 , liveth H1870 ; and, The manner H884 of Beersheba H2416 liveth H5307 ; even they shall fall [H8804] H6965 , and never rise up [H8799] again. |
