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}

Also in the dayH3117 of your gladnessH8057, and in your solemn daysH4150, and in the beginningsH7218 of your monthsH2320, ye shall blowH8628 with the trumpetsH2689 over your burnt offeringsH5930, and over the sacrificesH2077 of your peace offeringsH8002; that they may be to you for a memorialH2146 beforeH6440 your GodH430: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430.
Ye saidH559 also, Behold, what a wearinessH4972 is it! and ye have snuffedH5301 at it, saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; and ye broughtH935 that which was tornH1497, and the lameH6455, and the sickH2470; thus ye broughtH935 an offeringH4503: should I acceptH7521 this of your handH3027? saithH559 the LORDH3068. {and ye have…: or, whereas ye might have blown it away}
RememberH2142 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117, to keep it holyH6942.
SixH8337 daysH3117 shalt thou labourH5647, and doH6213 all thy workH4399:
But the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is the sabbathH7676 of the LORDH3068 thy GodH430: in it thou shalt not doH6213 any workH4399, thou, nor thy sonH1121, nor thy daughterH1323, thy manservantH5650, nor thy maidservantH519, nor thy cattleH929, nor thy strangerH1616 that is within thy gatesH8179:
JustH6664 balancesH3976, justH6664 weightsH68, a justH6664 ephahH374, and a justH6664 hinH1969, shall ye have: I am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, which brought you outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. {weights: Heb. stones}
He is a merchantH3667, the balancesH3976 of deceitH4820 are in his handH3027: he lovethH157 to oppressH6231. {a merchant: or, Canaan} {oppress: or, deceive}
And in the beginningsH7218 of your monthsH2320 ye shall offerH7126 a burnt offeringH5930 unto the LORDH3068; twoH8147 youngH1241 bullocksH6499, and oneH259 ramH352, sevenH7651 lambsH3532 of the firstH1121 yearH8141 without spotH8549;
And threeH7969 tenth dealsH6241 of flourH5560 for a meat offeringH4503, mingledH1101 with oilH8081, for oneH259 bullockH6499; and twoH8147 tenthH6241 deals of flourH5560 for a meat offeringH4503, mingledH1101 with oilH8081, for oneH259 ramH352;
And a several tenth dealH6241 of flourH5560 mingledH1101 with oilH8081 for a meat offeringH4503 unto oneH259 lambH3532; for a burnt offeringH5930 of a sweetH5207 savourH7381, a sacrifice made by fireH801 unto the LORDH3068.
And their drink offeringsH5262 shall be halfH2677 an hinH1969 of wineH3196 unto a bullockH6499, and the thirdH7992 part of an hinH1969 unto a ramH352, and a fourthH7243 part of an hinH1969 unto a lambH3532: this is the burnt offeringH5930 of every monthH2320 throughout the monthsH2320 of the yearH8141.
And oneH259 kidH8163 of the goatsH5795 for a sin offeringH2403 unto the LORDH3068 shall be offeredH6213, beside the continualH8548 burnt offeringH5930, and his drink offeringH5262.
In those daysH3117 sawH7200 I in JudahH3063 some treadingH1869 wine pressesH1660 on the sabbathH7676, and bringing inH935 sheavesH6194, and ladingH6006 assesH2543; as also wineH3196, grapesH6025, and figsH8384, and all manner of burdensH4853, which they broughtH935 into JerusalemH3389 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117: and I testifiedH5749 against them in the dayH3117 wherein they soldH4376 victualsH6718.
There dweltH3427 men of TyreH6876 also therein, which broughtH935 fishH1709+H1709, and all manner of wareH4377, and soldH4376 on the sabbathH7676 unto the childrenH1121 of JudahH3063, and in JerusalemH3389.
Then I contendedH7378 with the noblesH2715 of JudahH3063, and saidH559 unto them, What evilH7451 thingH1697 is this that ye doH6213, and profaneH2490 the sabbathH7676 dayH3117?
DidH6213 not your fathersH1 thus, and didH935 not our GodH430 bringH935 all this evilH7451 upon us, and upon this cityH5892? yet ye bringH935 moreH3254 wrathH2740 upon IsraelH3478 by profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676.
And it came to pass, that when the gatesH8179 of JerusalemH3389 began to be darkH6751 beforeH6440 the sabbathH7676, I commandedH559 that the gatesH1817 should be shutH5462, and chargedH559 that they should not be openedH6605 till afterH310 the sabbathH7676: and some of my servantsH5288 setH5975 I at the gatesH8179, that there should no burdenH4853 be brought inH935 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117.
So the merchantsH7402 and sellersH4376 of all kind of wareH4465 lodgedH3885 withoutH2351 JerusalemH3389 onceH6471 or twiceH8147.
Then I testifiedH5749 against them, and saidH559 unto them, Why lodgeH3885 ye aboutH5048 the wallH2346? if ye do so againH8138, I will layH7971 handsH3027 on you. From that timeH6256 forth cameH935 they no more on the sabbathH7676. {about: Heb. before}
Thou shalt not have in thy bagH3599 divers weightsH68+H68, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. {divers…: Heb. a stone and a stone}
Thou shalt not have in thine houseH1004 divers measuresH374+H374, a greatH1419 and a smallH6996. {divers…: Heb. an ephah and an ephah}
But thou shalt have a perfectH8003 and justH6664 weightH68, a perfectH8003 and justH6664 measureH374 shalt thou have: that thy daysH3117 may be lengthenedH748 in the landH127 which the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 givethH5414 thee.
For all that doH6213 such thingsH428, and all that doH6213 unrighteouslyH5766, are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068 thy GodH430.
And he saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou goH1980 to him to dayH3117? it is neither new moonH2320, nor sabbathH7676. And she saidH559, It shall be wellH7965. {well: Heb. peace}
If thou turn awayH7725 thy footH7272 from the sabbathH7676, from doingH6213 thy pleasureH2656 on my holyH6944 dayH3117; and callH7121 the sabbathH7676 a delightH6027, the holyH6918 of the LORDH3068, honourableH3513; and shalt honourH3513 him, not doingH6213 thine own waysH1870, nor findingH4672 thine own pleasureH2656, nor speakingH1696 thine own wordsH1697:
A falseH4820 balanceH3976 is abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but a justH8003 weightH68 is his delightH7522. {A false…: Heb. Balances of deceit} {just…: Heb. perfect stone}
Blow upH8628 the trumpetH7782 in the new moonH2320, in the time appointedH3677, on our solemn feastH2282 dayH3117.
ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. {to be carnally…: Gr. the minding of the flesh} {to be spiritually…: Gr. the minding of the Spirit}
A justH4941 weightH6425 and balanceH3976 are the LORD'SH3068: all the weightsH68 of the bagH3599 are his workH4639. {the weights: Heb. the stones}
BecauseG1360 the carnalG4561 mindG5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. {the carnal…: Gr. the minding of the flesh}
Divers weightsH68+H68 are an abominationH8441 unto the LORDH3068; and a falseH4820 balanceH3976 is not goodH2896. {a false…: Heb. balance of deceit}
BringH935 no moreH3254 vainH7723 oblationsH4503; incenseH7004 is an abominationH8441 unto me; the new moonsH2320 and sabbathsH7676, the callingH7121 of assembliesH4744, I cannot away withH3201; it is iniquityH205, even the solemn meetingH6116. {iniquity: or, grief}
Ye shall have justH6664 balancesH3976, and a justH6664 ephahH374, and a justH6664 bathH1324.
The ephahH374 and the bathH1324 shall be of oneH259 measureH8506, that the bathH1324 may containH5375 the tenth partH4643 of an homerH2563, and the ephahH374 the tenth partH6224 of an homerH2563: the measureH4971 thereof shall be after the homerH2563.
And the shekelH8255 shall be twentyH6242 gerahsH1626: twentyH6242 shekelsH8255, fiveH2568 and twentyH6242 shekelsH8255, fifteenH2568+H6235 shekelsH8255, shall be your manehH4488.
LetG2919 noG3361 manG5100 thereforeG3767 judgeG2919 youG5209 inG1722 meatG1035, orG2228 inG1722 drinkG4213, orG2228 inG1722 respectG3313 of an holydayG1859, orG2228 of the new moonG3561, orG2228 of the sabbathG4521 days: {in meat…: or, for eating and drinking} {respect: or, part}
