30:008:001 Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
30:008:002 And 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.
30:008:003 And 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.
30:008:004 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
30:008:005 Saying, 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?
30:008:006 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair
of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
30:008:007 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will
never forget any of their works.
30:008:008 Shall 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.
30:008:009 And 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:
30:008:010 And 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.
