Amos 8:4-10

4HearH8085 this, O ye that would swallow up the needyH34, and cause the poorH34 of the landH776 to fail,

5sayingH559, When will the newH2320 moonH2320 be gone, that we may sellH7666 corn? and the sabbathH7676, that we may set forth wheatH1250? making the ephahH374 smallH6994, and the shekelH8255 greatH1431, and dealing falsely with balancesH3976 of deceitH4820;

6that we may buyH7069 the poorH34 for silverH3701, and the needyH34 for a pair of shoesH5275, and sellH7666 the refuseH4651 of the wheatH1250.

7The LORDH3068 hath swornH7650 by the excellency of JacobH3290, SurelyH518 I will neverH518 forgetH7911 anyH3605 of their worksH4639.

8Shall notH3808 the landH776 trembleH7264 for this, and everyH3605 one mournH56 that dwelleth therein? yea, it shall riseH5927 upH5927 whollyH3605 like the RiverH2975; and it shall be troubledH7264 and sink again, like the RiverH2975 of EgyptH4714.

9And it shall comeH935 to passH935 in that dayH3117, saith the LordH136 GODH136, that I will causeH1961 the sunH8121 to goH935 down at noonH6672, and I will darken the earthH776 in the clear dayH3117.

10And I will turnH7760 your feastsH2282 intoH5921 mourningH60, and allH3605 your songsH7892 intoH5921 lamentationH7015; and I will bringH5927 upH5927 sackclothH8242 uponH5921 allH3605 loinsH4975, and baldnessH7144 uponH5921 everyH3605 headH7218; and I will makeH7760 it as the mourningH60 for an onlyH3173 sonH3173, and the endH319 thereof as a bitterH4751 dayH3117.
