30:007:015 And the lord took me as I followed
the flock, and the lord
said
unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel.
30:007:016 Now therefore hear thou the word of the
lord: Thou sayest,
Prophesy
not against Israel, and drop not thy word against the
house
of Isaac.
30:007:017 Therefore thus saith the lord; Thy
wife shall be an harlot in
the
city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by
the
sword,
and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt
die
in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go
into
captivity
forth of his land.
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.
30:008:011 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:
30:008:012 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.
