Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me: and behold a basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019.
And he saidH559, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A basketH3619 of summer fruitH7019. Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, The endH7093 is comeH935 upon my peopleH5971 of IsraelH3478; I will not againH3254 passH5674 by them any more.
And the songsH7892 of the templeH1964 shall be howlingsH3213 in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069: there shall be manyH7227 dead bodiesH6297 in every placeH4725; they shall cast them forthH7993 with silenceH2013. {shall be howlings: Heb. shall howl} {with…: Heb. be silent}
HearH8085 this, O ye that swallow upH7602 the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6041+H6035 of the landH776 to failH7673,
SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 cornH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820? {new…: or, month} {set…: Heb. open} {falsifying…: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit}
That we may buyH7069 the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250?
The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 by the excellencyH1347 of JacobH3290, Surely I will neverH5331 forgetH7911 any of their worksH4639.
Shall not the landH776 trembleH7264 for this, and every one mournH56 that dwellethH3427 therein? and it shall rise upH5927 wholly as a floodH2975; and it shall be cast outH1644 and drownedH8257+H8248, as by the floodH216 of EgyptH4714.
And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will cause the sunH8121 to go downH935 at noonH6672, and I will darkenH2821 the earthH776 in the clearH216 dayH3117:
And I will turnH2015 your feastsH2282 into mourningH60, and all your songsH7892 into lamentationH7015; and I will bring upH5927 sackclothH8242 upon all loinsH4975, and baldnessH7144 upon every headH7218; and I will makeH7760 it as the mourningH60 of an onlyH3173 son, and the endH319 thereof as a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
Behold, the daysH3117 comeH935, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, that I will sendH7971 a famineH7458 in the landH776, not a famineH7458 of breadH3899, nor a thirstH6772 for waterH4325, but of hearingH8085 the wordsH1697 of the LORDH3068:
And they shall wanderH5128 from seaH3220 to seaH3220, and from the northH6828 even to the eastH4217, they shall run to and froH7751 to seekH1245 the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, and shall not findH4672 it.
In that dayH3117 shall the fairH3303 virginsH1330 and young menH970 faintH5968 for thirstH6772.
They that swearH7650 by the sinH819 of SamariaH8111, and sayH559, Thy godH430, O DanH1835, livethH2416; and, The mannerH1870 of BeershebaH884 livethH2416; even they shall fallH5307, and never rise upH6965 again. {manner: Heb. way}

And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A plumblineH594. Then saidH559 the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more:
And it shall be, when thou art come inH935 unto the landH776 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee for an inheritanceH5159, and possessestH3423 it, and dwellestH3427 therein;

And thou shalt goH935 unto the priestH3548 that shall be in those daysH3117, and sayH559 unto him, I professH5046 this dayH3117 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430, that I am comeH935 unto the countryH776 which the LORDH3068 swareH7650 unto our fathersH1 for to giveH5414 us.
And the priestH3548 shall takeH3947 the basketH2935 out of thine handH3027, and set it downH3240 beforeH6440 the altarH4196 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Thou hast wellH3190 seenH7200: for I will hastenH8245 my wordH1697 to performH6213 it.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto me, AmosH5986, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, A plumblineH594. Then saidH559 the LordH136, Behold, I will setH7760 a plumblineH594 in the midstH7130 of my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: I will not againH3254 pass byH5674 them any more:
Moreover the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me, sayingH559, JeremiahH3414, what seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a rodH4731 of an almond treeH8247.
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, Thou hast wellH3190 seenH7200: for I will hastenH8245 my wordH1697 to performH6213 it.
And the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto me the second timeH8145, sayingH559, What seestH7200 thou? And I saidH559, I seeH7200 a seethingH5301 potH5518; and the faceH6440 thereof is towardH6440 the northH6828. {toward…: Heb. from the face of the north}

The prophetsH5030 prophesyH5012 falselyH8267, and the priestsH3548 bear ruleH7287 by their meansH3027; and my peopleH5971 loveH157 to have it so: and what will ye doH6213 in the endH319 thereof? {bear…: or, take into their hands}
He saidH559 furthermore unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, seestH7200 thou what they doH6213? even the greatH1419 abominationsH8441 that the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 committethH6213 here, that I should go far offH7368 from my sanctuaryH4720? but turnH7725 thee yet again, and thou shalt seeH7200 greaterH1419 abominationsH8441.
And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto ZibaH6717, What meanest thou by these? And ZibaH6717 saidH559, The assesH2543 be for the king'sH4428 householdH1004 to ride onH7392; and the breadH3899 and summer fruitH7019 for the young menH5288 to eatH398; and the wineH3196, that such as be faintH3287 in the wildernessH4057 may drinkH8354.
They huntH6679 our stepsH6806, that we cannot goH3212 in our streetsH7339: our endH7093 is nearH7126, our daysH3117 are fulfilledH4390; for our endH7093 is comeH935.
Then saidH559 he unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, hast thou seenH7200 what the ancientsH2205 of the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 doH6213 in the darkH2822, every manH376 in the chambersH2315 of his imageryH4906? for they sayH559, The LORDH3068 seethH7200 us not; the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5800 the earthH776.
And the gloriousH6643 beautyH8597, which is on the headH7218 of the fatH8081 valleyH1516, shall be a fadingH5034 flowerH6733, and as the hasty fruitH1061 before the summerH7019; which when he that lookethH7200 upon it seethH7200, while it is yet in his handH3709 he eateth it upH1104. {eateth: Heb. swalloweth}
Also, thou sonH1121 of manH120, thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069 unto the landH127 of IsraelH3478; An endH7093, the endH7093 is comeH935 upon the fourH702 cornersH3671 of the landH776.
Then he saidH559 unto me, Hast thou seenH7200 this, O sonH1121 of manH120? Is it a light thingH7043 to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 that they commitH6213 the abominationsH8441 which they commitH6213 here? for they have filledH4390 the landH776 with violenceH2555, and have returnedH7725 to provoke me to angerH3707: and, lo, they putH7971 the branchH2156 to their noseH639. {Is it…: or, Is there any thing lighter than to commit}
The LORDH3068 shewedH7200 me, and, behold, twoH8147 basketsH1736 of figsH8384 were setH3259 beforeH6440 the templeH1964 of the LORDH3068, afterH310 that NebuchadrezzarH5019 kingH4428 of BabylonH894 had carried away captiveH1540 JeconiahH3204 the sonH1121 of JehoiakimH3079 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and the princesH8269 of JudahH3063, with the carpentersH2796 and smithsH4525, from JerusalemH3389, and had broughtH935 them to BabylonH894.
OneH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 goodH2896 figsH8384, even like the figsH8384 that are first ripeH1073: and the otherH259 basketH1731 had veryH3966 naughtyH7451 figsH8384, which could not be eatenH398, they were so badH7455. {they…: Heb. for badness}
Then saidH559 the LORDH3068 unto me, What seestH7200 thou, JeremiahH3414? And I saidH559, FigsH8384; the goodH2896 figsH8384, veryH3966 goodH2896; and the evilH7451, veryH3966 evilH7451, that cannot be eatenH398, they are so evilH7455.
But the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto thee; for they willH14 not hearkenH8085 unto me: for all the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 are impudentH2389+H4696 and hardheartedH7186+H3820. {impudent…: Heb. stiff of forehead, and hard of heart}
Then lifted I upH5375 mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and behold fourH702 hornsH7161.
And I saidH559 unto the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me, What be these? And he answeredH559 me, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, IsraelH3478, and JerusalemH3389.
And the LORDH3068 shewedH7200 me fourH702 carpentersH2796.
Then saidH559 I, What comeH935 these to doH6213? And he spakeH559, sayingH559, These are the hornsH7161 which have scatteredH2219 JudahH3063, so thatH6310 no manH376 did lift upH5375 his headH7218: but these are comeH935 to frayH2729 them, to cast outH3034 the hornsH7161 of the GentilesH1471, which lifted upH5375 their hornH7161 over the landH776 of JudahH3063 to scatterH2219 it.
As for me, behold, I will dwellH3427 at MizpahH4709 to serveH5975+H6440 the ChaldeansH3778, which will comeH935 unto us: but ye, gatherH622 ye wineH3196, and summer fruitsH7019, and oilH8081, and putH7760 them in your vesselsH3627, and dwellH3427 in your citiesH5892 that ye have takenH8610. {to serve: Heb. to stand before}
Moreover he saidH559 unto me, SonH1121 of manH120, all my wordsH1697 that I shall speakH1696 unto thee receiveH3947 in thine heartH3824, and hearH8085 with thine earsH241.
And he saidH559 unto me, What seestH7200 thou? And I answeredH559, I seeH7200 a flyingH5774 rollH4039; the lengthH753 thereof is twentyH6242 cubitsH520, and the breadthH7341 thereof tenH6235 cubitsH520.
WoeH480 is me! for I am as when they have gatheredH625 the summer fruitsH7019, as the grapegleaningsH5955 of the vintageH1210: there is no clusterH811 to eatH398: my soulH5315 desiredH183 the firstripe fruitH1063. {when…: Heb. the gatherings of summer}
TellH559 them therefore, Thus saithH559 the LordH136 GODH3069; I will make this proverbH4912 to ceaseH7673, and they shall no more use it as a proverbH4911 in IsraelH3478; but sayH1696 unto them, The daysH3117 are at handH7126, and the effectH1697 of every visionH2377.
Then the angelH4397 that talkedH1696 with me went forthH3318, and saidH559 unto me, Lift upH5375 now thine eyesH5869, and seeH7200 what is this that goeth forthH3318.
