ABP - Amos - 8

8:1  Thus [2showed 3to me 1the lord]. And behold, a container of a fowler.

8:2  And the lord said, What do you see, Amos? And I said, A container of a fowler. And the lord said to me, [3is come 1The 2end] for my people Israel; I shall not proceed any longer to pass by them.

8:3  And [5shall shriek 1the 2fretworks 3of the 4temple] in that day, says the lord. And there shall be many falling; in every place I will cast a silence.

8:4  Hear indeed these things! O ones obliterating the needy, and tyrannizing the poor of the land.

8:5  Saying, When shall [3go by 1the 2month] that we shall make trade, and the Sabbaths, that we shall open the treasury to make the measure small, and to unequally magnify the scale-weight, and to make the yoke balance scale unjust?

8:6  That we may acquire [2by 3silver 1the poor], and the needy in return for sandals; and of every business we shall trade.

8:7  The lord swears an oath according to the pride of Jacob, Shall there be forgotten for victory any of their works, no.

8:8  And concerning these things, [4not 1shall 5be disturbed 2the 3land], and [6mourn 1all 2the ones 3dwelling 4in 5it]? And [3shall ascend 4as 5a river 1the 2consumption], and shall go down as the river of Egypt.

8:9  And it will be in that day, says the lord, [3shall go down 1the 2sun] at midday, and [3shall darken 4upon 5the 6earth 7during 8the day 1the 2light];

8:10  and I will convert your holiday feasts into mourning, and all your songs into wailing. And I will bring upon every loin, sackcloth; and upon every head, baldness. And I will appoint him as one mourning a beloved one; and the ones with him as a day of grief.

8:11  Behold days come, says the lord, and I will send out famine upon the land; not a famine of bread loaves, nor famine of water, but a famine to hear the word of the lord.

8:12  And [2shall shake 1waters] from the sea unto sea. And from north unto east ones shall run about seeking the word of the lord, and in no way should they find.

8:13  In that day [7will dissipate 1the 3virgins 2fair 4and 5the 6young men] by thirst.

8:14  The ones swearing an oath according to the atonement of Samaria, and ones saying, [2lives 1Your God], O Dan; and your God, O Beer-sheba. And they shall fall and in no way should they rise up again.
