Amos 8
1
Thus the Lord Yahweh showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit.
2
I will not again pass by them any more.
3
“The dead bodies will be many. In every place they will throw them out with silence.
4
and cause the poor of the land to fail,
5
and dealing falsely with balances of deceit;
6
and sell the sweepings with the wheat?’ ”
7
“Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8
and it will be stirred up and sink again, like the River of Egypt.
9
and I will darken the earth in the clear day.
10
and its end like a bitter day.
11
but of hearing Yahweh’s words.
12
and will not find it.
13
and the young men will faint for thirst.
14
they will fall, and never rise up again.”
