Amos 8:1–7
aThus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold ba basket of csummer fruit. 2 And he said, dAmos, what seest thou? And I said, bA basket of csummer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me,
eThe end is come upon my people of Israel;
dI will not again pass by them any more.
3 And fthe songs of the temple †shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God:
gThere shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth †with silence.
4 hHear this, iO ye that jswallow up the needy,
Even to make kthe poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the ||lnew moon be gone, that we may msell corn?
And lthe nsabbath, that we may †set forth wheat,
oMaking the ephah small, and the shekel great,
And †falsifying pthe balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor qfor silver,
qAnd the needy for a pair of shoes;
Yea, and msell rthe refuse of the wheat?
7 sThe Lord hath sworn by stthe excellency of Jacob,
Surely uI will never forget any of their works.
