chapter 8
1
These
things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.
2 And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A
hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my
people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that
day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place.
4 Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the
needy of the land to fail,
5 Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall
sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen
the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,
6 That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor
for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?
7 The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob:
surely I will never forget all their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one
mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast
out, and run down as the river of Egypt?
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord
God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in
the day of light:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all
your songs into lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of
yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an
only son, and the latter end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will
send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of
water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.
12 And they shall move from sea to sea, and from the north
to the east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not
find it.
13 In that day the fair virgins, and the young men
shall faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy
God, O Dan, liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and
shall rise no more.
