| 8:1 | Thus hath the Lord <0136> GOD <03069> shewed <07200> (8689) unto me: and behold a basket <03619> of summer fruit <07019>. |
| 8:2 | And he said <0559> (8799), Amos <05986>, what seest <07200> (8802) thou? And I said <0559> (8799), A basket <03619> of summer fruit <07019>. Then said <0559> (8799) the LORD <03068> unto me, The end <07093> is come <0935> (8804) upon my people <05971> of Israel <03478>; I will not again <03254> (8686) pass <05674> (8800) by them any more. |
| 8:3 | And the songs <07892> of the temple <01964> shall be howlings <03213> (8689) in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>: [there shall be] many <07227> dead bodies <06297> in every place <04725>; they shall cast [them] forth <07993> (8689) with silence <02013> (8761). {shall be howlings: Heb. shall howl} {with...: Heb. be silent} |
| 8:4 | Hear <08085> (8798) this, O ye that swallow up <07602> (8802) the needy <034>, even to make <07673> (0) the poor <06041> (8675) <06035> of the land <0776> to fail <07673> (8687), |
| 8:5 | Saying <0559> (8800), When will the new moon <02320> be gone <05674> (8799), that we may sell <07666> (8686) corn <07668>? and the sabbath <07676>, that we may set forth <06605> (8799) wheat <01250>, making the ephah <0374> small <06994> (8687), and the shekel <08255> great <01431> (8687), and falsifying <05791> (8763) the balances <03976> by deceit <04820>? {new...: or, month} {set...: Heb. open} {falsifying...: Heb. perverting the balances of deceit} |
| 8:6 | That we may buy <07069> (8800) the poor <01800> for silver <03701>, and the needy <034> for a pair of shoes <05275>; [yea], and sell <07666> (8686) the refuse <04651> of the wheat <01250>? |
| 8:7 | The LORD <03068> hath sworn <07650> (8738) by the excellency <01347> of Jacob <03290>, Surely I will never <05331> forget <07911> (8799) any of their works <04639>. |
| 8:8 | Shall not the land <0776> tremble <07264> (8799) for this, and every one mourn <056> (8804) that dwelleth <03427> (8802) therein? and it shall rise up <05927> (8804) wholly as a flood <02975>; and it shall be cast out <01644> (8738) and drowned <08257> (8738) (8675) <08248> (8738), as [by] the flood <0216> of Egypt <04714>. |
| 8:9 | And it shall come to pass in that day <03117>, saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, that I will cause the sun <08121> to go down <0935> (8689) at noon <06672>, and I will darken <02821> (8689) the earth <0776> in the clear <0216> day <03117>: |
| 8:10 | And I will turn <02015> (8804) your feasts <02282> into mourning <060>, and all your songs <07892> into lamentation <07015>; and I will bring up <05927> (8689) sackcloth <08242> upon all loins <04975>, and baldness <07144> upon every head <07218>; and I will make <07760> (8804) it as the mourning <060> of an only <03173> [son], and the end <0319> thereof as a bitter <04751> day <03117>. |
| 8:11 | Behold, the days <03117> come <0935> (8802), saith <05002> (8803) the Lord <0136> GOD <03069>, that I will send <07971> (8689) a famine <07458> in the land <0776>, not a famine <07458> of bread <03899>, nor a thirst <06772> for water <04325>, but of hearing <08085> (8800) the words <01697> of the LORD <03068>: |
| 8:12 | And they shall wander <05128> (8804) from sea <03220> to sea <03220>, and from the north <06828> even to the east <04217>, they shall run to and fro <07751> (8787) to seek <01245> (8763) the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>, and shall not find <04672> (8799) [it]. |
| 8:13 | In that day <03117> shall the fair <03303> virgins <01330> and young men <0970> faint <05968> (8691) for thirst <06772>. |
| 8:14 | They that swear <07650> (8737) by the sin <0819> of Samaria <08111>, and say <0559> (8804), Thy god <0430>, O Dan <01835>, liveth <02416>; and, The manner <01870> of Beersheba <0884> liveth <02416>; even they shall fall <05307> (8804), and never rise up <06965> (8799) again. {manner: Heb. way} |
