8 The Lord Eternal showed me this:
a basket of ripe fruit.
2 Then said he,
“Amos, what do you see?”
“A basket of ripe fruit,” said I;
and the Eternal said to me,
“So is the doom ripe for my people Israel;
never again will I pardon them.”
4 Listen to this, you men who crush the humble,
and oppress the poor,
5 muttering, “When will the new-moon be over,
that we may sell our grain?
When will the sabbath be done,
that our corn may be on sale?”
(small you make your measures, large your weights,
you cheat by tampering with the scales)–
6 all to buy up innocent folk,
to buy the needy for a pair of shoes,
to sell the very refuse of your grain.
7 The Eternal has sworn by the pride of Jacob,
“Never will I forget what you have done.”
8 [[For all this shall not the land have to shake,
and every dweller mourn?
Shall it not all rise up like the Nile,
and sink like Egypt’s flood?]]
9 Upon that day, the Lord Eternal declares,
I will make the sun go down at noon,
and darken the earth in broad daylight,
10a turn your festivals into mourning,
and your ditties into dirges;
3 the temple hymns shall change to howls,
as corpse on corpse is being flung outside with a “Hush!”
Upon that day, the Lord Eternal declares,
10 I will make every loin wear sackcloth,
and every head be shaved in mourning,
I will make you lament as for an only son–
a day of utter bitterness.
11 The time is coming, says the Lord Eternal,
when I will send a famine on the land,
no famine of bread, no drouth of water,
but of hearing the word of the Eternal,
12 till men go wandering from sea to sea,
and run from north to east,
in quest of the Eternal’s word–
and all in vain.
13 On that day they shall faint,
faint, fall, and never rise again,
the maidens fair and stalwart youths,
14 who swear by the god at Bethel,
who say, “As your god lives, O Dan!”
or, “As your Patron lives, Beêrsheba!”
