The Lord Jehovah has instructed me another thing. I see a basket of summer fruits.

He said, Amos, what do you see. I said, seeing a basket of summer fruits. The end of my people Israel has come, says the Lord. I will no longer forgive them.

On that day, the songs in the temple will become lamentations, says the Lord GOD. Many corpses will be abandoned everywhere, with no one to speak.

Listen to my words, you who will devour the poor and cause them to decline.

When will the new moon pass so that we can sell grain. When will the Sabbath pass, so that we can spread out the wheat, sell it with a small liter bucket, collect it with a large handful, and deceive people with deceitful scales.

Buy the poor with good money, exchange a pair of shoes for the poor, and sell the broken wheat to others.

The Lord swore by the glory of Jacob, saying, I will never forget all their ways.

Will not the earth tremble because of this, and the inhabitants thereof mourn? The earth will rise up completely like the Nile, like the rivers of Egypt surging up and down.

“On that day, I will make the sun set at noon, and the earth be dark by day,” declares the Lord Jehovah.

I will turn your festivals into mourning, and your songs into mourning. Everyone was wrapped in linen around their waist, and their heads were bald, causing this mourning to be like the loss of an only child and ultimately like a painful day.

The Lord GOD says, The days are coming, and I will command famine to come upon the earth. Hunger is not due to lack of bread, thirst is not due to lack of water, but because they do not listen to the word of the Lord.

They will wander from sea to sea, from north to east, running back and forth, seeking the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.

On that day, beautiful virgins and young men will faint from thirst.

The one who swore by the sin of the Samaritan calf said, “But by the living God of your place, we swear.”. And he said, We swear by the way of Beersheba. These people will all fall and never rise again.
