Amos 8:4-10
4HearH8085 this, O ye that swallow upH7602 the needyH34, even to makeH7673 the poorH6035H6041 of the landH776 to failH7673, 5SayingH559, When will the new moonH2320 be goneH5674, that we may sellH7666 foodH7668? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forthH6605 wheatH1250, making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and falsifyingH5791 the balancesH3976 by deceitH4820?123 6That we may buyH7069 the poorH1800 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275; yea, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250? 7YhwhH3068 hath swornH7650 by the excellencyH1347 of JacobH3290, Surely I will neverH5331 forgetH7911 any of their worksH4639. 8Shall not the landH776 trembleH7264 for this, and every one mournH56 that dwellethH3427 therein? and it shall rise upH5927 wholly as a floodH2975; and it shall be cast outH1644 and drownedH8248H8257, as by the floodH216 of EgyptH4714. 9And it shall come to pass in that dayH3117, saithH5002 the LordH136 YhwhH3069, that I will cause the sunH8121 to go downH935 at noonH6672, and I will darkenH2821 the earthH776 in the clearH216 dayH3117: 10And I will turnH2015 your feastsH2282 into mourningH60, and all your songsH7892 into lamentationH7015; and I will bring upH5927 sackclothH8242 upon all loinsH4975, and baldnessH7144 upon every headH7218; and I will makeH7760 it as the mourningH60 of an onlyH3173 son, and the endH319 thereof as a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
