Amos

ESV

Chapter 8

1This is what the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2He said, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A basket of summer fruit.” Then the LORD said to me, “The end has come upon my people Israel; I will not again pass by them.” 3The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day,” declares the Lord GOD; “so many dead bodies! They shall be thrown out everywhere. Silence!” 4Hear this, you who trample on the needy and bring the poor of the land to an end, 5saying, “When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the Sabbath, that we may offer wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel great and altering the balances of deceit, 6that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals and sell the chaff of the wheat?” 7The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: “Surely I will never forget any of their deeds. 8Shall not the land tremble on this account, and everyone mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?” 9“And on that day,” declares the Lord GOD, “I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight. 10I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth on every waist and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. 11“Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord GOD, “when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. 12They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it. 13“In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst. 14Those who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, ‘As your god lives, O Dan,’ and, ‘As the way of Beersheba lives,’ they shall fall and never rise again.”
