Amos 8:1-14

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}
