* Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto 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 unto me , The end is come upon my people of Israel Yisra #el #; I will not again pass by them any more . * And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day , saith the Lord GOD : there shall be many dead bodies in every place ; they shall cast them forth with silence . * 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 corn ? and the sabbath , that we may set forth wheat , making the ephah small , and the shekel great , and falsifying the balances by deceit ? * That we may buy the poor for silver , and the needy for a pair of shoes na #al #; yea , and sell the refuse of the wheat ? * The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob Ya #aqob #, Surely I will never forget any of their works ma #aseh #. * Shall not the land tremble for this , and every one mourn that dwelleth therein ? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood y @#or #; and it shall be cast out and drowned (8675 ), as by the flood 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 ro #sh #; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son , and the end thereof 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 it . * 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 B @#erliveth ; even they shall fall , and never rise up again .
