Amos 8:4-10

4HearH8085 thisH2088, you who 12trampleH7602 the needyH34, to putH7673 anH7673 endH7673 toH7673 the humbleH6041 of the landH776, 5sayingH559, “WhenH4970 will the 3newH2320 moonH2320 4beH5674 overH5674, So that we may sellH7666 grainH7668; And the 5SabbathH7676, so that we may openH6605 the wheatH1250 market, To makeH6994 the 6ephahH374 smallerH6994 and the 7shekelH8255 biggerH1431, And to 8cheatH5791 with dishonestH4820 scalesH3976,6So as to 9buyH7069 the helplessH1800 for 10moneyH3701, And the needyH34 for a pair of sandalsH5275, And that we may sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250?”

7The LordH3068 has 11swornH7650 by the 12prideH1347 of JacobH3290, “IndeedH518, I will 13neverH518H5331 forgetH7911 anyH3605 of their deedsH4639.8BecauseH5921 of thisH2088 will the landH776 not 14quakeH7264, And everyoneH3605 who livesH3427 in it 15mournH56? Indeed, allH3605 of it will 16riseH5927 upH5927 like the NileH2975, And it will be tossedH1644 aboutH1644 And subsideH8257 like the NileH2975 of EgyptH4714.9And it will comeH1961 aboutH1961 on that dayH3117,” declaresH5002 the LordH136 GodH3068, “That I will make the 17sunH8121 goH935 down at noonH6672, And 18makeH2821 the earthH776 darkH2821 in 19broadH216 daylightH3117H216.10Then I will 20turnH2015 your festivalsH2282 into mourningH60, And allH3605 your songsH7892 into songsH7015 ofH7015 mourningH7015; And I will putH5927 21sackclothH8242 aroundH5921 everyone’sH3605 waistH4975, And 22baldnessH7144 on everyH3605 headH7218. And I will makeH7760 it 23like a time of mourningH60 for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, And the endH319 of it will be like a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
