22 Amos 8:1

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. ²And 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; I will not again pass by them any more. ³And 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.

⁴Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, ⁵Saying, 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? ⁶That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? ⁷The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. ⁸Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. ⁹And 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: ¹⁰And 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 son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

¹¹Behold, 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: ¹²And 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. ¹³In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. ¹⁴They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.(KJV)

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit. ²And 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; I will not again pass by them any more. ³And 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.

⁴Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail, ⁵Saying, 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? ⁶That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat? ⁷The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. ⁸Shall not the land tremble for this, and every 1 mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt. ⁹And 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: ¹⁰And 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 son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

¹¹Behold, 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: ¹²And 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. ¹³In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst. ¹⁴They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beer-sheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.(KJV/NC)

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹Thus the Lord Jehovah showed me: and, behold, a basket of summer fruit. ²And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said Jehovah unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not again pass by them any more. ³And the songs of the temple shall be wailings in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah: the dead bodies shall be many: in every place shall they cast them forth with silence. ⁴Hear this, O ye that would swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail, ⁵saying, 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 dealing falsely with balances of deceit; ⁶that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the refuse of the wheat? ⁷Jehovah hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works. ⁸Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? yea, it shall rise up wholly like the River; and it shall be troubled and sink again, like the River of Egypt. ⁹And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord Jehovah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day. ¹⁰And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day. ¹¹Behold, the days come, saith the Lord Jehovah, 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 Jehovah. ¹²And 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 Jehovah, and shall not find it. ¹³In that day shall the fair virgins and the young men faint for thirst. ¹⁴They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, As the way of Beer-sheba liveth; they shall fall, and never rise up again.(ASV)

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹THUS has the LORD God showed me: and behold, a sign of the end. ²And the LORD said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A sign of the end. Then the LORD said to me, The end is come upon my people Israel; I will not again cause it to pass by them any more. ³And the songs of the temple shall be howling in that day, says the LORD God; there shall be many dead bodies in every place; and they shall be cast away to destruction.

⁴¶ Hear this, O you who wrong the poor, and cause the needy of the land to come to an end, ⁵Saying, When will the month be over, that we may sell grain? When will the sabbath be over that we may open storehouses and make our measures small and enlarge weights and make deceitful balances? ⁶That we may sell to the poor for silver, and pay the needy with the refuse of the wheat, and sell the refuse which is left on the floor of the storehouses. ⁷The LORD, the Mighty One of Jacob, has sworn, Surely, I will never forget any of their works. ⁸Shall not the land tremble for these things, and every one mourn who dwells in it? The end shall come up like a flooded river; and it shall cast things away, and then recede like the river of Egypt. ⁹And it shall come to pass in that day, says the LORD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the daylight. ¹⁰And I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; and I will put sackcloth upon all your loins and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end of it as a bitter day.

¹¹¶ Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of the LORD; ¹²And they shall gather together 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. ¹³In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst. ¹⁴They that swore by the idols of Samaria, saying, As your god lives, O Dan, and, as the cult of Beer-sheba lives, even they shall fall and never rise again. (LAM)

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹Thus the Lord GOD showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. ²And he said, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come upon my people Israel; I will never again pass by them. ³The songs of the temple shall become wailings in that day," says the Lord GOD; "the dead bodies shall be many; in every place they shall be cast out in silence."

⁴Hear this, you who trample upon the needy, and bring the poor of the land to an end, ⁵saying, "When will the new moon be over, that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may offer wheat for sale, that we may make the ephah small and the shekel great, and deal deceitfully with false balances, ⁶that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, and sell the refuse of the wheat?"

⁷The LORD has sworn by the pride of Jacob: "Surely I will never forget any of their deeds. ⁸Shall not the land tremble on this account, and every one mourn who dwells in it, and all of it rise like the Nile, and be tossed about and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?"

⁹"And on that day," says the Lord GOD, "I will make the sun go down at noon, and darken the earth in broad daylight. ¹⁰I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; I will bring sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness on every head; I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

¹¹"Behold, the days are coming," says the Lord GOD, "when I will send a famine on the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD. ¹²They shall wander from sea to sea, and from north to east; they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the LORD, but they shall not find it.

¹³"In that day the fair virgins and the young men shall faint for thirst. ¹⁴Those who swear by Ash'imah of Sama'ria, and say, `As thy god lives, O Dan,' and, `As the way of Beer-sheba lives,' they shall fall, and never rise again."(RSV)

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹This is what the Sovereign LORD showed me: a basket of ripe fruit. ²"What do you see, Amos?" he asked. "A basket of ripe fruit," I answered. Then the LORD said to me, "The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.

³"In that day," declares the Sovereign LORD, "the songs in the temple will turn to wailing. Many, many bodies -- flung everywhere! Silence!" ⁴Hear this, you who trample the needy and do away with the poor of the land,

⁵saying, "When will the New Moon be over that we may sell grain, and the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?" -- skimping the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales, ⁶buying the poor with silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, selling even the sweepings with the wheat.

⁷The LORD has sworn by the Pride of Jacob: "I will never forget anything they have done. ⁸"Will not the land tremble for this, and all who live in it mourn? The whole land will rise like the Nile; it will be stirred up and then sink like the river of Egypt.

⁹"In that day," declares the Sovereign LORD, "I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight. ¹⁰I will turn your religious feasts into mourning and all your singing into weeping. I will make all of you wear sackcloth and shave your heads. I will make that time like mourning for an only son and the end of it like a bitter day. ¹¹"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine through the land -- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD. ¹²Men will stagger from sea to sea and wander from north to east, searching for the word of the LORD, but they will not find it.

¹³"In that day "the lovely young women and strong young men will faint because of thirst. ¹⁴They who swear by the shame of Samaria, or say, `As surely as your god lives, O Dan,' or, `As surely as the god of Beersheba lives' -- they will fall, never to rise again."(NIV)

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.

²He said, 'Amos, what do you see?'

I said, 'A basket of summer fruit.'

Then Yahweh said to me,

'The end has come on my people Israel.
I will not again pass by them any more.

³The songs of the temple will be wailings in that day,' says the Lord Yahweh.
'The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.

⁴Hear this, you_P who desire to swallow up the needy,
And cause the poor of the land to fail,
⁵Saying, 'When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell grain?
And the Sabbath, that we may market wheat,
Making the ephah small, and the shekel large,
And dealing falsely with balances of deceit;

⁶That we may buy the poor for silver,
And the needy for a pair of shoes,
And sell the sweepings with the wheat?''

⁷Yahweh has sworn by the pride of Jacob,
'Surely I will never forget any of their works.

⁸Won't the land tremble for this,
And everyone mourn who dwells in it?

Yes, it will rise up wholly like the River;
And it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.

⁹'It will happen in that day,' says the Lord Yahweh,
'That I will cause the sun to go down at noon,
And I will darken the earth in the clear day.

¹⁰I will turn your feasts into mourning,
And all your songs into lamentation;

And I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies,
And baldness on every head.

I will make it like the mourning for an only son,
And the end of it like a bitter day.

¹¹Behold, the days come,' says the Lord Yahweh,
'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 Yahweh.

¹²They will wander from sea to sea,
And from the north even to the east;
They will run back and forth to seek the word of Yahweh,
And will not find it.

¹³In that day the beautiful virgins
And the young men will faint for thirst.

¹⁴Those who swear by the sin of Samaria,
And say, 'As your god, Dan, lives;'
And, 'As the way of Beersheba lives;'
They will fall, and never rise up again.'(WEB)

I will make it like the mourning for an only son,

22 Amos 8:1-14 ¹THUS has Yahvah God shown me: and look, a sign of the end. ²And Yahvah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A sign of the end. Then Yahvah said to me, The end is come on my people Israel; I will not cause it to pass by them any longer. ³And the songs of the temple will be howling in that day, says Yahvah God; there will be many dead bodies in every place; and they will be cast away to destruction.

The end will come up like a flooded river; and it will cast things away, and then recede like the river of Egypt. ⁹And it will come to pass in that day, says Yahvah, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the daylight. ¹⁰And I will turn your feasts into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; and I will put sackcloth on all your loins and baldness on every head; and I will make it as the mourning for an only son, and the end of it as a bitter day.

¹¹Look, the days are coming, says Yahvah, when I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the word of Yahvah; ¹²And they will gather together from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they will run to and fro seeking the word of Yahvah, and will not find it. ¹³In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst. ¹⁴Those who swore by the idols of Samaria, saying, As your god lives, oh Dan, and, as the cult of Beersheba lives, even they will fall and never rise again.
