Amos 8 📜 📕 ↷
Basket of Summer Fruit
1 These things hath our Lord shewed to me: and behold an apple hook.📜💬📚
2 And he said: What seest thou Amos? And I said: An apple hook. And our Lord said to me: The end cometh upon my people Israel: I will add no more to pass them.📜💬📚
3 And the hinges of the temple shall creak in that day, saith our Lord God: many shall die: in every place shall silence be cast.📜💬📚
4 Hear this you that tread down the poor, & make the needy of the land to fail,📜💬📚
5 saying: When will the month pass, and we shall sell wares: and the Sabbath, and we open the corn: that we may diminish the measure, and increase the sicle, and convey in deceitful balances,📜💬📚
6 that we may for silver possess the needy, and the poor for shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?📜💬📚
7 Our Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: If I shall forget even to the end all their works.📜💬📚
8 Why, shall not the land be moved upon this, and every inhabitant thereof mourn: and rise up as a river altogether, and be cast out, & run down to the river of AEgypt?📜💬📚
9 And it shall be in that day, saith our Lord God: The sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth to be dark in the day of light.📜💬📚
10 And I will turn your festivities into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring in upon every back of yours sackcloth, and upon every head baldness: and I will lay it as the mourning of an only begotten son, & the later end thereof as a bitter day.📜💬📚
11 Behold the days come, saith our Lord, and I will send forth famine into the land: not the famine of bread, nor thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.📜💬📚
12 And they shall be moved from the sea even to sea, and from the North even to the East: they shall go about seeking the word of our Lord, and shall not find.📜💬📚
13 In that day the fair virgins shall fail, and the young men in thirst.📜💬📚
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God o Dan liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall rise no more.📜💬📚
