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}
