* Thus hath the Lord GOD shown to me : and behold a basket of summer fruit . * And he said , Amos , what seest thou ? And I said , A basket of summer fruit . Then said the LORD to me , The end is come upon my people of Israel ; I will not again pass by them any more . * And the songs of the temple shall be wailing in that day , saith the Lord GOD : many dead bodies in every place ; they shall cast forth with silence . (note :)shall be howlings : Hebrews . shall howl (:note )with …: Heb . be silent * Hear this , O ye that swallow up the needy , even to make the poor of the land to fail , * Saying , When will the new moon be gone , that we may sell grain ? and the sabbath , that we may set forth wheat , making the ephah small , and the shekel great , and falsifying the balances by deceit ? (note :)new …: or , month (:note )set …: Hebrews . openfalsifying …: Heb . perverting the balances of deceit * That we may buy the poor for silver , and the needy for a pair of shoes ; and even sell the refuse of the wheat ? * The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob , Surely I will never forget any of their works . * Shall not the land tremble for this , and every one mourn that dwelleth in it ? and it shall rise up wholly as a river ; and it shall be cast out and drowned , as the river of Egypt . * And it shall come to pass in that day , saith the Lord GOD , that I will cause the sun to go down at noon , and I will darken the earth in the clear day : * And I will turn your feasts into mourning , and all your songs into lamentation ; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins , and baldness upon every head ; and I will make it as the mourning of an only , and the end of it as a bitter day . * Behold , the days come , saith the Lord GOD , that I will send a famine in the land , not a famine of bread , nor a thirst for water , but of hearing the words of the LORD : * And they shall wander from sea to sea , and from the north even to the east , they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD , and shall not find . * In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst . * They that swear by the sin of Samaria , and say , Thy god , O Dan , liveth ; and , The manner of Beersheba liveth ; even they shall fall , and never rise again .
