Thus hath the Lord GOD shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.

And He said, 'What do you see, Amos?' And I said, 'A basket of summer fruit.' Then the Lord said to me, 'The end has come upon My people Israel; I will no longer overlook their sins.'

In that day, the songs of the temple will turn into wailing, declares the Lord God. Many corpses will lie everywhere; they will be cast out in silence.

Hear this, you who trample on the needy and seek to destroy the poor of the land,

Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,

saying, 'When will the new moon be over, so we may sell grain, and the Sabbath end, so we may market wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel large, and falsifying the scales with deceit?

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?

Buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals, even selling the sweepings of the wheat.'

That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?

The Lord has sworn by the pride of Jacob: 'Surely I will never forget all their deeds.'

The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

Shall not the land tremble on account of this, and all who live in it mourn? The whole land will rise like the Nile; it will be tossed about and then sink again like the Nile of Egypt.

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.

'On that day,' declares the Lord God, 'I will make the sun go down at noon and darken the earth in broad daylight.'

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:

'I will turn your festivals into mourning and all your songs into lamentation; I will cover everyone's waists with sackcloth and shave every head bald. I will make it like mourning for an only son and its end like a bitter day.'

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.

'Behold, the days are coming,' declares the Lord God, 'when I will send a famine on the land—not a famine of bread or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord.'

Behold, 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:

They will wander from sea to sea and from north to east; they will roam about seeking the word of the Lord, but they will not find it.

And 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.

In that day, the beautiful young women and the strong young men will faint from thirst.

In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.

Those who swear by the guilt of Samaria and say, 'As surely as your god lives, O Dan,' or, 'As surely as the way of Beersheba lives,' they will fall and never rise again.

They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
