OET-RV AMOS Chapter 8

OETAMOS 8 ©

This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

8:1The basket-of-fruit vision

8This is what my master Yahweh showed me: See this basketful of summer fruit. 2Then he asked, “What do you see, Amos?”

“A basket of summer fruit,” I said.

Then Yahweh told me, “The end has come for my people Israel. I won’t spare them any longer. 3The songs of the temple will become wailings on that day.

That’s the declaration of my master Yahweh.

Many dead bodies—they’re thrown everywhere.

Then silence.”

8:4Israel’s punishment

4Listen to this, you who trample the needy

and take the poor off the land. 5They say,

“When will the new moon celebrations be over, so we can sell grain again?

When will the Rest Day be over, so we can sell wheat?

We’ll make the measure small and increase the price,

as we cheat with false scales.

6This is so we can sell low-grade wheat.

We can buy the poor people with cash,

and the needy people for a pair of sandals.”

7Yahweh has made an oath on Yakob’s pride,

“I certainly won’t ever forget any of their evil actions.

8Won’t the land itself quake due to this behaviour,

and every one who lives in it mourn?

All of the ground will come up like the Nile River after the rains,

and it will be tossed about then settle again, like Egypt’s river.

9This is the declaration of my master Yahweh:

“It will come at that time that I’ll make the sun set at noon,

and I will darken the earth during the day.

10I’ll turn your festivals into mourning

and all your songs into dirges.

I’ll make all of you wear sackcloth

and every head to be shaved.

I’ll make it like mourning for an only son,

and a bitter day to its end.

11This is the declaration of my master Yahweh:

Listen, the days are coming when I’ll send a famine to this country.

Not a famine for bread or a thirst for water,

but for hearing Yahweh’s messages.

12They’ll stagger from sea to sea.

They’ll rove around from the north to the east to seek Yahweh’s message,

but they won’t find it.

13In that day the beautiful young women

and the young men will faint from dehydration.

14Those who swear by the guilt of Shomron (Samaria)

and say, ‘As your god lives, Dan,’

and, ‘As the road to Beer-Sheva exists’—

they will die and never live again.”
